The USS Georgia never fired a shot in anger during the Civil War . She was scuttled rather than left to fall into Union hands during the war . That remainder includes remaining cannon , pieces of the ship 's power plant and propeller shaft and two chunks of the casemate . Now the ship can be moved so a new channel can be deepened .
