USS Shenandoah (1862)
The first USS ''Shenandoah'' was a wooden screw sloop of the United States Navy.
''Shenandoah'' was built by the Philadelphia Navy Yard and launched on 8 December 1862. She was sponsored by Miss Selina Pascoe; and was commissioned on 20 June 1863, Captain Daniel B. Ridgeley in command.
==Civil War duty, 1863–1865==
''Shenandoah'' departed Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the 25th, keeping a sharp lookout for Confederate raider, , as she made her trial run to Boston to fill out her complement. On 11 July, she sailed in search of Confederate raider, ''Florida'', cruised off George's and Nantucket shoals, thence preceded toward Block Island and Cape Sable. She returned to Boston on 27 July and spent from 4 August to 8 September in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. On 12 September, she arrived off New Inlet, North Carolina, to join the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron.
''Shenandoah'' spent the greater part of the next fifteen months patrolling off Wilmington, North Carolina and searching on the blockade runner routes between Nassau and Wilmington. This cruising took her as far as Key West, Florida, and to the Bahamas and Bermuda. During a four-hour chase on 30 July 1864, she fired heavily into Confederate blockade runner, ''Lilian'', which escaped in the darkness to the safety of Cape Lookout shoals. At daylight of 7 August, blockade runner, ''Falcon'', narrowly escaped ''Shenandoah'' and by throwing cotton overboard to lighten load and then outsailing her pursuers in the direction of Cuba.
