USS Howquah (1863)
USS ''Howquah'' was a screw steamer purchased by the Union Navy in Boston from G. W. Upton on 17 June 1863, for action against Confederate commerce raider CSS ''Tacony'' which was then preying upon Northern merchantmen during what Professor Richard S. West has called "the most brilliant daredevil cruise of the war."
==Search for ''Tacony''==
''Howquah'' departed Boston 25 June 1863, with Acting Volunteer Lieutenant E. F. Devens in command, to search for ''Tacony'' in the southern section of the Banks of Newfoundland but her quarry had been destroyed the day before she sailed. ''Taconys captain, Lieutenant Charles W. Read, OSN, in an effort to elude the Northern gunboats who were scouring the sea for his ship, shifted his guns to captured fishing schooner ''Archer'' and put the torch to ''Tacony''. He and his crew were captured 3 days later while attempting to escape to sea from Portland, Maine, in still another prize, Revenue cutter ''Caleb Gushing''.〔(q.v. Tacony, p. 571, vol. II)〕
