USS Malvern (1860)
USS ''Malvern'' (1860) (eventually renamed ''Ella and Annie'') was a large steamer captured by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was then used by the Union Navy to patrol navigable waterways of the Confederacy to prevent the South from trading with other countries.
''Malvern'' was built in 1860 as ''William G. Hewes'' by Harlan and Hollingsworth Co., Wilmington, Delaware, for Charles Morgan’s Southern Steamship Co. She commenced regular service between New York City and New Orleans, Louisiana, 11 January 1861.
== Seized by the Confederacy when war commenced ==
As ''William G. Hewes'' she was seized 28 April by the Governor of Louisiana and put into service as a Confederate blockade runner, although she was not officially registered as a Confederate steamer until 5 April 1862. Because of her speed, maneuverability, and large cargo capacity ''Hewes'' was of far greater value as a blockade running transport than as a gunboat. Few of her contemporaries were able to match the 1,440 bale payload of cotton that she carried to Havana, Cuba, in April.
When Admiral David Farragut captured New Orleans, Louisiana, in April 1862, ''Hewes'' shifted her operations from there to Charleston, South Carolina, and Wilmington, North Carolina. She was then renamed ''Ella and Annie''. Under the Importing & Exporting Co. of South Carolina she renewed blockade running to Bermuda in April 1863.
