She engaged the batteries at Sewell's Point from 10-14 May, then continued blockade duty until steaming up the Rappahannock to Smith's Island on 24 June. Operating with the Army on the James River above Newport News, Virginia on 5 July, she dispersed a body of Confederate cavalry.

She drove off Confederates attacking Union soldiers in that area on 5 October.
