USS Essex (1856)
USS ''Essex'' was a 1000-ton ironclad river gunboat of the United States Army and later United States Navy during the American Civil War. It was named for Essex County, Massachusetts. USS ''Essex'' was originally constructed in 1856 at New Albany, Indiana as a steam-powered ferry named ''New Era''.
==Service in Tennessee==
In September 1861 ''New Era'' was purchased by the United States Army for use in its Western Gunboat Flotilla and was modified into a 355-ton timberclad gunboat. In November 1861 USS ''New Era'' took part in an expedition up the Cumberland River. Shortly thereafter she was renamed USS ''Essex'' and received an upgrade to iron armor and various other alterations. On 11 January 1862, USS ''Essex'' engaged Confederate States Navy gunboats near Lucas Bend, Missouri. On 6 February 1862, she took part in the attack on Fort Henry, Tennessee and was badly damaged by Confederate gunfire.
