In the last post, I wrote about the USS Fernandina and its encounter with Confederates onshore at Little River Inlet in South Carolina.
The USS Fernandina was a sailing bark obtained by the Union Navy during the war purchased 29 July 1861 in New York City as the Florida and renamed Fernandina with Acting Volunteer Lieutenant G. W. Browne in command.
It was commissioned 16 November 1861.
