USS Penobscot (1861)
USS ''Penobscot'' was a built for 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.
== Assigned to the North Atlantic Blockade ==
''Penobscot'', built in ninety days by C.P. Carter, Belfast, Maine, was launched 19 November 1861 and delivered to the Navy at Boston, Massachusetts, 16 January 1862. Assigned initially to the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, ''Penobscot'' destroyed her first Confederate vessel, the schooner ''Sereta'', grounded and abandoned off Shallotte Inlet, North Carolina, 8 June 1862.
On 1 August she seized sloop ''Lizzie'' off New Inlet and on 22 October British brig ''Robert Burns'' off Cape Fear. Again off Shallotte Inlet 3 November, she forced the British ship ''Pathfinder'' aground, then destroyed her. On 22 May 1863 she pursued a Confederate steamer trying to run the blockade near Fort Fisher, North Carolina. One shell reached the ship and crashed into the stateroom of the Surgeon, Dr. Edward Pierson of New Jersey . A splinter of wood fractured the doctor's occipital bone and he died two hours later. Continuing her patrol of the Carolina coast into the summer of 1863, she forced blockade runner ''Kate'' ashore at Smith’s Island 12 July.
