Undine and the Confederate batteries are attacked…

Undine and the Confederate batteries are attacked by three Union gunboats from Johnsonville and the six Paducah gunboats on the morning of November 4.

Undine is abandoned and set on fire, which causes her ammunition magazine to explode, ending Forrest's brief career as a naval commander.

Despite this loss, the Confederate land artillery is completely effective in neutralizing the threat of the Federal fleets.

Forrest's guns bombard the Union supply depot and the 28 steamboats and barges positioned at the wharf.

All three of the Union gunboats are disabled or destroyed.

The Union garrison commander orders that the supply vessels be burned to prevent their capture by the Confederates.
