High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Ben Morgan (1826) was a schooner acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used by the Union Navy as a hospital ship in support of the Union Navy blockade of Confederate waterways. Mediator — a ship rigged, sailing vessel launched at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1826 — was purchased at New York City by the Navy on 27 May 1861 and renamed Ben Morgan soon thereafter. No logs for this ship have survived, and no record of her commissioning ceremony — if any indeed occurred — has been found. Nevertheless, Ben Morgan was fitted out as a hospital ship and was sent to Hampton Roads, Virginia, to take over the role of the Norfolk Naval Hospital which had fallen into Confederate hands when Union forces evacuated Norfolk, Virginia, on 20 April 1861, three days after the Virginia convention had voted for secession.
