	USS Keokuk (1862) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		USS Keokuk, an experimental ironclad steamer, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the city of Keokuk, Iowa.
		As the day of attack on Charleston approached, Keokuk and USS Bibb were busy laying buoys to guide Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont's ironclad flotilla, which included USS New Ironsides and seven monitors, into the strongly fortified Confederate harbor.
		With the Union formation scrambled, Keokuk was compelled to run ahead of crippled USS Nahant to avoid fouling her in the narrow channel.

	The USS Keokuk
		The New Ironsides had come about and was moving past the Keokuk when her captain reported that she was close to sinking.

		I have also to transmit herewith two Abolition ensigns obtained from the Keokuk, as she lies off Morris Island Beach, by Lieutenant Glassell, C. Navy, one of which is evidently the ensign under which she fought and was worsted.
