Continued from August 9th and 10th.
The original commander of the USS Pawtuxet, Commander J.H. Spotts was inspector of lighthouses for the 12th and 13th Districts in 1874.
During the First Battle of Fort Fisher, the USS Pawtuxet had a collision with the USS Ticonderoga.
Damage to the Pawtuxet was gun No. 2 starboard side unserviceable.
Two elevating screws for the 100-pdr. rifle broke and the gun was then unfit for further use.
