DECEMBER 4TH, 1864: The USS R.R. Cuyler, USS Mackinaw and USS Gettysburg, captured blockade running steamer Armstrong at sea. The Cuyler and Gettysburg, joined by the USS Montgomery, picked up a number of bales of cotton thrown overboard by the Armstrong during the chase.
The Mackinaw had earlier in the day captured the brig Hattie E. Wheeler with a cargo of sugar.
