Boat Expedition in Georgia

AUGUST 22-24TH, 1864:  A boat expedition from the USS Potomska captured prisoners and some small arms and destroyed over 2,000 barrels of rosin and turpentine on the Satilla and White rivers in Georgia..

If it was on the water anywhere in the Confederacy, Confederate supplies were fair game for Union naval forces.
