USS Isaac Smith
USS ''Isaac Smith'' 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. In 1863, she became the only warship in the Civil War to be captured by enemy land forces.
''Isaac Smith'' was built by Lawrence & Foulks in 1861 for passenger-cargo service on the Hudson River. She was purchased by the Navy in New York City from E. J. Hamilton 9 September 1861.
== Assigned to the South Atlantic Blockade ==
On 16 October she was assigned to the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron in time to join Flag Officer Samuel F. Du Pont's assault against Port Royal, South Carolina. An intense hurricane occurred during the voyage south compelling the ship to jettison her guns. Nevertheless, she gallantly ignored her own distress and attempted to assist the Marine Corps transport ''Governor'', which foundered off Cape Hatteras.
During a reconnaissance in force on 4 and 5 November, she engaged and repelled three attacking Confederate steamers and silenced batteries at Hilton Head and Bay Point, South Carolina. Two days later she towed sailing sloop into action during the landings which wrested Port Royal, South Carolina, from Confederate hands providing the Union a splendid base for the fleet and combined operations that steadily destroyed the Confederacy.
