Windsor High School was named after a sunken Civil War gunboat that was docked in the Mississippi River in Kimmswick, Missouri.

The ice crushed the boat from both sides letting out a thunderous crack that woke a man living in Kimmswick who recorded the event in the local newspaper much later in his life.
