USS Ino
USS ''Ino'' was a clipper ship acquired by the Union Navy during the course of the American Civil War. She was capable of great speed and distance, and was a formidable warship with powerful guns.
''Ino'' was a clipper ship, purchased at Boston, Massachusetts, 30 August 1861 and commissioned at the Boston Navy Yard 23 September, Lt. J. P. Cressy in command. Unusual speed and large storage space suited her ideally for long-range cruising against Confederate commerce raiders.
==In search of “rebel pirates”==
Her first duty began 27 September when she departed Boston, Massachusetts, in search of "rebel pirates." When word came that the South's famed cruiser CSS ''Sumter'', under the brilliant master of seamanship, Captain Raphael Semmes, was in European waters, Ino sailed from Boston 5 February 1862 and reached Cadiz, Spain, only 13 days and 16 hours later. She assisted and to blockade Semmes at Gibraltar where he vainly sought repairs. Semmes finally abandoned ''Sumter'' there in order to get back into action. An interesting side light to this operation occurred at Tangier, Morocco 26 February when ''Ino'' took two crewmen of ''Sumter'' from a threatening mob and turned the prisoners over to the Boston-bound American merchant ship ''Harvest Home''.
