USS Brockenborough (1862)
USS ''Brockenborough'' (1862) was a sloop captured by the Union Navy during the American Civil War.
She was used by the Union Navy primarily as a ship's tender and also as a gunboat stationed off Confederate ports to prevent their trading with foreign countries.
==Sloop captured and converted to Union Navy service==
On October 16, 1862, the commanding officer of the Union steamer — Acting Lieutenant Edward Y. McCauley — ordered Acting Master Robert B. Smith to lead a reconnaissance expedition up the Apalachicola River. During the ensuing operation, Smith’s boats exchanged fire with Southerners ashore and signaled for help. That gunboat’s launch brought a howitzer into the fray, “…cleared the banks of the guerrillas,” and enabled the Union boats to continue on upstream. A short distance past the town of Apalachicola, Florida, Smith found a sailing ship which had grounded inside the mouth of a creek. She proved to be ''G. L. Brockenborough'', a sloop carrying 64 bales of cotton. Her master and a single passenger were still on board. The Union sailors refloated the vessel and took her to Key West, Florida, where she was condemned by the prize court and purchased by the Navy on November 15.
