USS Gem of the Sea and Charlotte Harbor-- Part 2: The Nemesis of Charlotte Harbor

On June 11, 1864, the USS Gem of the Sea shared in the capture of the steamer Emma by her tender Rosalie, for violation of the blockade near Charlotte Harbor.

The Gem of the Sea remained at Charlotte Harbor until February 1865 when the Civil War came to an end.  It then went to the Philadelphia Navy Yard where it was decommissioned and later sold for $6500.
