There is significant debate about how much of the vessel was actually completed; some sources claim that a keel was laid; others that not a single nail was hammered into a single piece of wood. At any rate, the materials required to complete her were apparently not gathered, and the project never materialized. Columbus is often confused with the CSS ''[[Columbia]]'', an ill-fated casemate ironclad built in South Carolina. [[Category:Ships]] [[Category:Monitor]]
