USS Wando (1864)
The first USS ''Wando'' was a steamer captured by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. In commission from 1864 to 1865, she was used by the United States Navy as a gunboat in support of the Union Navy blockade of Confederate waterways.
== Capture ==
''Wando'' was built as the side-wheel steamer SS ''Let Her Rip'' in 1864 at Glasgow, Scotland, for use as a Confederate blockade runner in the American Civil War. ''Let Her Rip'' sailed under British colors until May 1864 when the Chicora Import and Export Company of Charleston, South Carolina, purchased her. In July 1864, after her first blockade-running trip into Wilmington, North Carolina, she was renamed SS ''Wando''.
''Wando'' was captured at sea off Cape Romain, South Carolina, by the Union side-wheel steamer USS ''Fort Jackson'' on 21 October 1864 as she attempted to slip away from the Confederate coast laden with cotton. The U.S. Navy purchased the ship from the Boston, Massachusetts, prize court on 5 November 1864, converetd her into a gunboat, and commissioned her as USS ''Wando'' at the Boston Navy Yard on 22 December 1864, Acting Master Frederick T. King in command.
