USS Henry Andrew (1847)
USS ''Henry Andrew'' (1847) was a steamer acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used by the Navy to patrol navigable waterways of the Confederacy to prevent the South from trading with other countries.
''Henry Andrew'' was originally built in 1847 at New York City as a sailing brig, and converted to steam in 1859. She was purchased from her owner, Mr. Van Santvoord, at New York on 10 September 1861. Her first commanding officer was Acting Master S. W. Mather.
==Assigned to the South Atlantic Blockade==
Assigned to the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, ''Henry Andrew'' arrived on her blockading station in November 1861. She reconnoitered the Vernon River on 11 December, and on 20 December was sent to blockade the entrance to Wassaw Sound. Being of light draft, ''Henry Andrew'' was especially valuable in stopping blockade runners and gaining intelligence in the shallow rivers and sounds of the coast. She participated on 17 January-18 February 1862 in an expedition up Wright's and Mud Rivers for the purpose of finding a channel into the Savannah River, encountering no Confederate opposition except a small battery near Red Bluff.
''Henry Andrew'' was reassigned to Fernandina, Florida on 18 March, and took up duties off Fernandina and Mosquito Inlet. Boats from the steamer and entered Mosquito Inlet on a reconnaissance on 21 March and next day were fired upon by batteries and musketry, killing the captains of both ''Henry Andrew'' and ''Penguin''. Subsequently, the ship was active in the blockade off Mosquito Inlet, Stono River, and other points on the coast until sent to Winyah Bay, South Carolina, where she arrived on 21 June.
