USS Oliver H. Lee (1861)
USS ''Oliver H. Lee'' (1861) was a schooner 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.
''Oliver H. Lee'' was purchased by the Navy at New York City 27 August 1861 from Charles Clark; and commissioned at New York Navy Yard 4 February 1862; Acting Master Washington Godfrey in command.
== Supporting the attack and capture of New Orleans ==
One of 21 schooners fitted out with mortars for a bomb flotilla organized by Comdr. David Dixon Porter to support Flag Officer David Farragut’s deep draft ships in their attack on New Orleans, Louisiana, ''Oliver H. Lee'', sailed down the Atlantic coast, across the Gulf of Mexico and into the Mississippi River through Pass a l’ Outre.
In position below Fort St. Philip and Fort Jackson, 18 April 1862, ''Oliver H. Lee'' and her sister schooners opened fire and maintained the barrage on the Confederate fortifications until the 24th when Farragut’s salt water ships had raced passed the forts. The next day New Orleans surrendered.
