High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Sarah and Caroline (1861) was a schooner captured by the Union Navy during the beginning of the American Civil War. She served the Union Navy during the blockade of ports and waterways of the Confederate States of America as a ship's tender. While on blockade duty on the afternoon of 11 December 1861, Union side wheel steamer, Bienville, sighted two sails and immediately gave chase. She succeeded in driving one ship aground in the breakers at the mouth of the St. Johns River, and she captured the other, a small pilot-boat schooner, named Sarah and Caroline. The prize had slipped out of Jacksonville, Florida, and was bound for Nassau, New Providence, in the Bahamas, carrying 60 barrels of turpentine. The dangers of the Atlantic Ocean in winter precluded sending the frail schooner north for adjudication, so she was kept at Port Royal, South Carolina.
