High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Alexandria (1862) was a screw steamer captured by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used by the Union Navy as a dispatch boat in support of the Union Navy blockade of Confederate waterways. St. Mary -- a small, wooden-hulled, side-wheel steamer built at Plaquemine, Louisiana -- was presented to the Confederate government upon completion early in 1862. Protected by bales of cotton, the vessel operated on the Yazoo and Tallahatchie Rivers for the remainder of that year and into the summer of 1863. On 13 July, a Union joint Army-Navy expedition of four warships and 5,000 troops captured St. Mary at Yazoo City, Mississippi.
