USS Whitehall (1850)
USS ''Whitehall'' (1850) was a steamer acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was assigned blockade duty; however, her condition was not always considered seaworthy, and she was plagued with condition problems.
''Whitehall''—a side-wheel gunboat and converted ferry built in 1850 at Brooklyn, New York—was purchased by the Navy there on 10 October 1861 and was commissioned soon thereafter at the New York Navy Yard, Acting Master Francis P. Allen in command.
==Assigned to the South Atlantic Blockade==
Assigned to the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, ''Whitehall'' sailed for Port Royal, South Carolina; but her unseaworthy condition prevented her completing the voyage south. She put in to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in early November for emergency repairs and stopped again at Hampton Roads for the same purpose a few days later. ''Whitehall'' left Newport News, Virginia, for Port Royal on 5 November—only to be forced back to Hampton Roads by high seas on 6 November. On 7 November, carpenters examining ''Whitehall'' declared her unseaworthy. Nevertheless, she was badly needed at Port Royal and proceeded south towed by on 12 November 1861. Again ''Whitehall'' turned back, reentering Hampton Roads on 13 November 1861. That same day, she was ordered to Baltimore, Maryland, for an extensive overhaul.
