She was put into service by the Union Navy to patrol navigable waterways of the Confederacy to prevent the South from trading with other countries. Donegal — a large sidewheel steamer, was built in 1860 at Wilmington, Delaware, and used as a Confederate blockade runner, occasionally carrying the name Austin. She was captured on 6 June 1864 off Mobile Bay by Metacomet; sent to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for condemnation; purchased by the Navy and fitted for sea at Philadelphia Navy Yard; and commissioned on 3 September 1864, Acting Volunteer Lieutenant W. H. West in command.
