1:200 U.S.S. Tecumseh Paper Model

USS Tecumseh

Publisher: Heinkel Models

On 12 September 1863, the USS Tecumseh was launched from Jersey City, New Jersey. A single-turret, iron-hulled monitor, the Tecumseh was pressed into service as part of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. Working with the Union Army, the Tecumseh was used to block the James River channel to prevent Confederate warships from reaching the upper river channels.

During this time, the Tecumseh was responsible for sinking four hulks and a schooner. The Tecumseh's most famous battle would be its last.

On 4 August 1864, the Tecumseh led a van of monitors into the Battle of Mobile Bay. Veering left to engage the Confederate ram CSS Tennessee, the Tecumseh struck a mine. Shortly after the explosion, the Tecumseh heeled over and sank. As it rolled over, it was struck by two shells from Fort Morgan. The Tecumseh went down with the captain and 92 crew members.
