USS Fort Hindman (1862)
USS ''Fort Hindman'' (1862) was a steamer acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was placed in service and used by the Navy to patrol navigable waterways of the Confederacy to prevent the South from trading with other countries.
== Assigned to the Mississippi Squadron ==
''Fort Hindman'', a side wheel steamer, was purchased 14 March 1863 as ''James Thompson''; she was converted into a river gunboat by the addition of timber bulwarks and thin iron plate: a style of warship commonly referred to as a "tinclad". She joined the Mississippi Squadron in April 1863, Acting Volunteer Lieutenant Thomas O. Selfridge, Jr. in command; was renamed ''Manitou'' 23 March 1863; and renamed ''Fort Hindman'' 8 November 1863. The ''USS Fort Hindman'' was designed to patrol in shallow waters and small tributaries where heavier ironclads could not enter. Her light armor was only intended to stop small arms fire.
