A cannon from the Confederate Sloop-of-War raider CSS Alabama recovered from the ship after it had been sunk in 1864 by the Union Sloop-of-War USS Kearsage off Cherbourg during the American Civil War. At the Cherbourg Maritime Museum, France, 28 May 2008. I think it is a 32 lb cannon but am not sure.

The CSS Virginia relied on its heavy armor plating and sloping sides to make enemy shot bounce off. But the heavy armor plating made the ship sluggish to maneuver and its deep draft restricted it from entering shallow water. Although heavily armed, only a few of its guns could be brought to bear at any one time.
