USS Two Sisters (1856)
USS ''Two Sisters'' (1856) was a small 54-ton captured Confederate schooner acquired by the Union Navy from the prize court during the American Civil War.
''Two Sisters'' was put into service as a gunboat and, when required, as a ship's tender, by the Union Navy to patrol navigable waterways of the Confederacy to prevent the South from trading with other countries.
== Captured and acquired by the Union Navy ==
''Two Sisters'', a schooner built in 1856 at Baltimore, Maryland, was captured on 21 September 1862 by Union steamer off the mouth of the Rio Grande while attempting to slip through the Federal blockade to Brownsville, Texas, with a cargo of 87 bales of gunny cloth needed by the Confederacy for baling cotton.
Subsequently purchased by the Navy from the Prize Court at Key West, Florida, ''Two Sisters'' was commissioned on 30 January 1863 at Key West, Acting Master William A. Arthur in command.
