The USS Underwriter

From Wikipedia.

Yesterday, I wrote about the capture of the USS Underwriter by John Taylor Wood.

Here's some information about the USS Underwriter:
341 tons, 170 feet long, 23'7" beam, built 1852 and mounted two cannons.

The US Navy bought it August 23, 1861 and sent it to serve in the Potomac River Flotilla before joining the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron where it operated in the sounds and rivers because of its shallow draft. It assisted in the capture of New Bern, NC March 13-14, 1862.

After its destruction, it was found that the boilers and engine was in good shape and was salvaged. Its exact wreck site was located in 1964.
