USS Yankee (1861)
USS ''Yankee'' (1861) was a steam powered side-wheel tugboat acquired by the Union Navy just prior to the outbreak of the American Civil War.
== Provisioning Fort Sumter, evacuating Norfolk ==
The ''Yankee''—a side-wheel steamer built in 1860 at New York City—was one of three steam tugs chartered early in April 1861 at New York City for use on the expedition to provision Fort Sumter, South Carolina, the first U.S. state to declare its secession from the Union, which it had done on December 20, 1860. She departed New York on 8 April 1861 and arrived off Charleston Bar on the 15th, a few hours after Major Robert Anderson's command had evacuated the fort and embarked in Federal transport ''Baltic''. On the 20th, ''Yankee'' assisted in the evacuation of the Norfolk Navy Yard, Norfolk, Virginia, towing to safety. She then returned to the New York Navy Yard.
