USS Eutaw

USS Eutaw was a 1173 LT Sassacus-class "double-ender" steam gunboat built at Baltimore, Maryland by J. J. Abrahams. It was commissioned on 2 July 1863, Lieutenant Commander Homer C. Blake in command.

Service history
Assigned to the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, USS Eutaw spent most of the American Civil War operating on the Potomac and James Rivers and along the Atlantic coast. On 4–5 May 1864, she covered the Army as it landed below City Point, Virginia; and on 14 July and 17 July, bombarded the Confederates at Malvern Hill. On 5 July, with USS Augusta (1853), she towed the ill-fated monitor USS Tecumseh (1863) from Hampton Roads to the Gulf of Mexico, returning to the James River on 22 August.

In 1865, with the war nearly at an end, Eutaw went to New York City on 26 April, where she was decommissioned on 8 May and sold on October 15, 1867.
