		The wreck of the United States Navy vessel USS Hatteras, sunk in an engagement with the Confederate raider CSS Alabama, lies in sixty feet of water about twenty miles south of Galveston, Texas.
		The vessel is a relatively early example of a steel-hulled, side-wheeled steamship representative of the transition between the wooden sailing ship and the modern steamship; and she is comparatively intact since she sank very rapidly and, unlike the majority of Texas shipwrecks, lies in deep water away from the destructive surf.
