USS Britannia (1862)
USS ''Britannia'' (1862) was a steamer captured by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used by the Union Navy as a gunboat and patrol vessel in support of the Union Navy blockade of Confederate waterways.
== ''Britannia'' constructed in England to run the Union blockade ==
In 1862, speculators in the British Isles constructed the iron-hulled, side-wheel steamer ''Britannia'' at Leith, Scotland, to run through the Union Navy's blockade of the Confederate coast during the American Civil War.
After three successful voyages carrying munitions and supplies to the beleaguered South, ''Britannia'' departed Charleston, South Carolina, on June 21, 1863 and headed for Nassau, New Providence, with a cargo of cotton.
