High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Commodore Morris (1862) was a ferryboat acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. Ferryboats were of great value, since — because of their flat bottom and shallow draft — they could navigate streams and shallow waters that other ships could not. Commodore Morris — an armed, side-wheel ferryboat — was built in 1862 at New York City; purchased by the Navy on 5 August 1862; fitted out at New York Navy Yard; and commissioned on 19 November 1862, Lieutenant Commander J. H. Gillis in command.
