USS Mount Washington (1846)
USS ''Mount Washington'' was a steamer purchased by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used by the Union Navy as a gunboat assigned to patrol Confederate waterways.
The side wheel gunboat ''Mount Vernon'', built at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1846, was seized by order of the War Department 21 April 1861 and transferred to the Navy on that date for active duty with the Potomac Flotilla, Lt. J. Glendy Sprosteon in command.
== Assigned to duty on the Potomac River to protect Washington, D.C. ==
After fitting out at the Washington Navy Yard (striking the wharf in the process), ''Mount Vernon'' was ready for duty. In May she reconnoitered the Potomac River and up the Rappahannock River 16 May to Urbana, meeting no southern forces. She chased a steamer 16 May and noted, the 18th, that people on shore were most mistrustful. During the summer, she served as a utility boat. Dispatched 26 June to seize a small sloop convoying armed men from the Maryland to Virginia shores, she departed the Washington Navy Yard 28 June for Fortress Monroe. On 5 July, she towed ''Teaser'', the sloop captured by , from Nanjemoy to Washington, D.C.. Part of the James River Squadron later in July, she was in Aquia Creek in August, where dispatched her for Freehora. She carried troops to Aiken's Landing 17 August.
