CSS ''Grand Duke'', a steamer built at Jeffersonville, Indiana in 1859, was outfitted as a cotton-clad gunboat for service with the Confederate States Army in February 1863.
''Grand Duke'' transported troops to Fort Taylor, Louisiana late in February 1863. On April 14, 1863 she was in company with the steamer ''Mary T.'' and ram when they were taken under attack on the Atchafalaya River by Union vessels , , and . Her speed, turning power, and superior piloting allowed ''Grand Duke'' to escape up river.
On May 4, 1863 ''Grand Duke'' and ''Mary T.'' were taking on guns, ordnance stores, and other public property prior to the evacuation of Fort De Russy when a Union reconnaissance force that included , ''Estrella'', and ''Arizona'' hove into view. In the ensuing hour-long engagement, each of the principal contestants sustained damage, but the Union ships withdrew, allowing the Confederates to remove their materiel further up the Red River and to delay the Federal advance by obstructing the river. ''Grand Duke'' was ordered to Shreveport, Louisiana where she burned late in 1863.
