The USS Cumberland and the CSS Virginia have many similarities and differences. One similarity was that they both were war ships and fought in the Civil war.  Also, the two ships took part in the blockade. The USS Cumberland took part in the blockade against Confederate ships for the Union (the union was the north).   CSS Virginia arrived to attack the blockade. In the scuffle, the Cumberland sank.

Some of the differences between the two ships were that the USS Cumberland was not as new as the CSS Virginia. Also the USS was made from wood which was not very strong. But the CSS was made from iron a strong metal that was hard to sink. The USS was a boat that needed wind so it was light and a little fast but the CSS used gas so it was faster than the USS. All these differences caused the sinking of the USS Cumberland to happen. If the USS Cumberland was newer, made of another material and more faster it could have not sunk. Archaeologist and kids from the Cumberland club study items from the ship wreckage.  This study helps us identify similarities and differences between the USS Cumberland and the CSS Virginia.

One way that the USS Cumberland and the CSS Virginia were alike is that they were both used in the Civil War. I know that because i read the article. obviously. and in the activity. This is because in problem 9 i think, there is a compare and contrast and in both, it says: used in the civil war or something like that

The two ships, the "USS Cumberland" and the "CSS Virginia" are two very different ships but were alike in many ways. One way they are different is The Virginia was strong, so it was hard to sink. The Cumberland was made of wood, which is not very strong. Also the Cumberland sank durring the Civil War and The Virginia didn't. A way the two ships are alike is both of them are ships used in the Civil War. These are are the ways the "USS Cumberland" and the "CSS Virginia" are alike and different.

The CSS Virginia is made of iron and is run on fuel. It was strong, so it was hard to sink. On the other hand, the USS Cumberland was made of wood, so it was not the strongest boat. It sank during the Civil War. Both boats were used during the Civil War, because they were both strong enough to rely on.

One way that the Cumberland and the Virginia were alike is that they were both in the Civil War.One thing that is different is that the Cumberland was made out of wood which not very strong actually now still to this very day wood is not very strong.The Virginia on the other hand was strong.It was made ut of metal and was newer and still to this day metal is very strong.(Stronger then wood that is for sure.)

One way that the USS Cumberland and the CSS Virginia were alike was that they were both used in the Civil war. The text states "During the Civil War, the Cumberland took part in the blockade against Confederate ships for the Union (the North). The Cumberland was anchored off Newport News on March 8, 1862, when the CSS Virginia arrived to attack the blockade." This shows that both the Cumberland and the Virginia were in the Civil War. The two ships are different because the Virginia was stronger than the Cumberland. An example in the second part is "The Virginia was a newer ship that ran on steam, so it was faster than the Cumberland. And it was made with iron, a strong metal, so it was hard to sink. Because it was the stronger ship, the Virginia was able to sink the Cumberland by ramming into it." This proves that the Virginia was stronger than the Cumberland.

One way that the USS Cumberland and the CSS Virginia were alike is…that they were both fought with in the civil war. A way that they were different was that the Cumberland was made out of wood and it was weak and it sailed with wind, the Virginia was made out of iron and it was strong and it sailed on steam.

One way that the USS Cumberland and the CSS Virginia were alike is they both were ships in the civil war and they were different than eachother because on page 2 it says that one was made of wood and had sails (the Cumberland) and the( Virginia) was steel and had a great motor. I

One way that the USS Cumberland and the CSS Virginia were alike is that the USS Cumberland and CSS Virginia were both boats but they were just battling each other. The USS Cumberland and the CSS Virginia were different because the CSS Virginia boat was newer and it ran on steam and it was made of iron and very strong metal so it would not sink very easily, and the USS Cumberland boat was very light and fast but it could be wrecked or sinked very easily because it was made out of wood, which was not very strong.

The USS Cumberland and the CSS Virginia were two boats used in the Civil War.  While they share this similarity, they have many more differences.  One difference is that when the ships were in the Civil War the USS Cumberland served for the North and the CSS Virginia served for the South.  Another difference is that the USS Cumberland was a ship that needed wind to move while the CSS Virginia ran on steam. In addition, the USS Cumberland was made of wood, which made it light and fast, but weak.  The CSS Virginia, on the other hand, was made of iron, which made it very strong.
