CSS ''Tacony'' was originally a bark captured by the Confederate cruiser CSS ''Clarence'' during the American Civil War and converted into a Confederate cruiser for commerce raiding. The CSS ''Clarence'', commanded by Lt. Charles W. Read, captured the ''Tacony'' on June 12, 1863, and since it was a better ship suited for commerce raiding, the crew and armaments were transferred to it and the ''Clarence'' was destroyed. In its brief career as a Confederate cruiser it captured a number of ships: The ''Whistling Ada'', ''Arabella'', ''Byzantium'', ''Elizabeth Ann'', ''Florence'', ''Goodspeed'', ''Isaac Webb'', ''Z.A. Macomber'', ''Marengo'', ''Ripple'', ''Rufus Choate'', ''Shattemuc'', ''Umpire'' and ''Wanderer''. Its final capture was the schooner ''Archer'' on June 25, 1863, which being a better ship suited for commerce raiding, the crew and armaments were transferred to it and the ''Tacony'' was destroyed. ==Officers and crew== * Lt.
