USS Reliance (1860)
USS ''Reliance'' (1860) was a steamer acquired by the Union Navy for use during the American Civil War. Her duties included river patrols and bombarding with her howitzers.
''Reliance'', a wooden screw steamer built in 1860 at Keyport, New Jersey, was purchased by the Union Navy at New York City on 7 May 1861; and commissioned there on 13 May 1861, Acting Lt. Jared P. K. Mygatt in command.
== Assigned to the Potomac Flotilla ==
Assigned to the Potomac Flotilla, she began her active service by blockading the Virginia side of the Potomac River. From 29 May to 1 June 1861, she joined in attacks against Confederate positions at Aquia Creek, Virginia. On 20 June she engaged Rebel batteries at Marlborough Point, Virginia; and a week later she fought Confederate forces at Mathias Point, Virginia.
''Reliance'' patrolled the river, searching for smuggled supplies, runaway slaves, and deserting Confederate soldiers. On 12 August 1862, she captured the sloop, ''Blossom'', and sent a boat expedition into Sturgeon Creek. She seized the sloop ''Painter'' off Alexandria, Virginia, 30 October and took the longboat, ''New Moon'', on 24 November carrying contraband cargo.
