Well, As It Turns Out, I Had Heard of The USS Canandaigua
Yesterday, I posted about this ship capturing a blockade runner named the Secesh off Charleston, S.C., on May 15, 1863, 155 years ago. I mentioned that I had not heard of this ship before. It turns out that I had already written about it one time.
This was the ship that rescued the crew of the USS Housatonic after it was sunk by the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley.
Click on the USS Canandaigua label to find out what I wrote about it.
