USS Shepherd Knapp (1861)
USS ''Shepherd Knapp'' (1861) was a large (838-ton) ship with eight guns, purchased by the Union Navy during the beginning of the American Civil War.
With her eight guns and a crew of 93, she was employed by the Union Navy as a heavy gunship outfitted to pursue major Confederate States of America blockade runners, especially Confederate Captain Raphael Semmes. Her limited ability as a sailing ship in pursuit of steam powered adversaries was eventually recognised and a different strategy adopted. She became a decoy, disguised as an unarmed merchant ship sailing in areas where Confederate raiders were known to operate.
During the course of her fruitless searches for Semmes, she ran aground on a reef near Haiti and was abandoned.
== Purchased at New York City in 1861 ==
''Shepherd Knapp'' — a ship-rigged sailing vessel — was purchased at New York City on 28 August 1861 from Laurence Giles & Co.
