Title: USS Malvern
Description: (1863-1865) Watercolor by Erik Heyl, 1952, painted for use in his book Early American Steamers, Volume I. Originally built in 1860 as the steamship William G. Hewes, this steamer was the blockade runner Ella and Annie when captured in November 1863 and served for the rest of the Civil War as USS Malvern. After sale to civilian owners late in 1865 she again was named William G. Hewes and kept that name until wrecked in 1895. Courtesy of Erik Heyl. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
