"The U. S. S. 'Ossipee' was first at
tached to the North Atlantic blockad
ing squadron, under command of Rear
Admiral Samuel P. Lee and performed
patrol and blockade duty off the coast
of the Caiolinas. The limits of this
squadron were Cape Henry, at Hamp
ton Roads on the north, thence south
along tho coast to Virginia and South
Carolina. Numerous inlets exist along
this coast which were favorable for
the passage of vessels engaged in
contraband trade, the principal port
used by the blockade runners being
Wilmingtotn, S. C. The 'Ossipee' was
later transferred to the West Gulf
Squadron, Rear Admiral David G.
Farragut, commanding. The opera
tions of this squadron were mostly
confined to blockade duty with an oc
casional skirmish with the enemy.
The duty in the gulf was harrassing
and at the same time tedious and mo
notonous. The "Ossipee' participat
ed in the battle of Mobile Bay, Aug
ust 5, 1864, the fleet capturing Fort
Morgan, Fort Gaines and the confed
erate ram, 'Tennessee,' and afterward
occupying Mobile Bay. This squad
ron performed its share of the work
East on Adams to Greenwood;
scuth of Greenwood to Washington;
west on Washington to rourth ana
disband.
