The old wooden ship you are referring to is the USS Merrimack, which was scuttled by the Union Navy and later raised by the Confederates. They converted it into an ironclad warship, renaming it the CSS Virginia. This ship famously faced off against the USS Monitor in the first battle between ironclad warships during the Civil War.
