155 Years Ago: The USS Commerce On Blockade Duty
APRIL 26TH, 1861: The USS Commerce, Lt. Peirce Crosby, captured steamer Lancaster at Havre de Grace, Maryland. He also pursued a steam tug "in obedience to the written orders that I had received from you [Commander Charles Steedman] to seize all tugs south of Havre de Grace," but could not catch her."
I have done some research, but can't find any mention of a USS Commerce Union ship.
