USS Pilgrim (1864)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

While I would say that the vast vast majority of ACW naval ships have accrued enough coverage to be notable, I don't think this one has or ever will. The DANFS entry is incredibly short, Gaines' Encylopedia of Civil War Shipwrecks provides a very small amount of information specifically about this ship in a short section lumping 12 different vessels together, the USS Pilgrim in Silverstone's Warships of the Civil War Navies is really USS Pilgrim (tugboat), etc. The best coverage I can find is this from the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies, but as the ORN is essentially just a reprinted collection of primary source naval records, I don't think we can hang an article solely on that. It should be noted that the subject of our Stone Fleet article is a specific attempt unrelated to this vessel, and that this one is just a knock-off. Hog Farm Talk 16:30, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
