Dozier, CSN, 24 August 1863, "You will be pleased to have as many boats fitted with torpedoes as you can hoist up to the davits of the Indian Chief * * *" Her first commanding officer was Lt. J. H. Ingraham, CSN. She was burned by the Confederates prior to the evacuation of Charleston on 18 February 1865.
