MAY 15TH, 1864: As Rear Admiral Porter's fleet neared the mouth of the Red River, they faced continued Confederate resistance from Confederate batteries and riflemen. The USS St. Clair engaged a battery near Eunice's Point, Louisiana.
The USS Kansas captured the blockade running British steamer Tristram Shandy at sea east of Fort Fisher with cargo of cotton, tobacco and turpentine.
