USS Hatteras (1861) For other ships with the same name, see USS Hatteras. The very first USS Hatteras was a 1,126-ton steamer purchased by the Union Navy at the beginning of the American Civil War. She was outfitted as a gunboat and assigned to the Union blockade of the ports and waterways of the Confederate States of America.
One of Alabama's guns put shots into Hatteras' hull, which caused the gunboat to take on water and sink. Bell put up the white flag and ordered all hands to abandon ship. Causalities from the battle were light. Two of Hatteras' firemen, both recent Irish immigrants, died when one of Alabama's shots hit the engine room.
