High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Sorrel (1864) was a small 68-ton steamer purchased by the Union Navy towards the end of the American Civil War. The Navy placed Sorrel in service as a Philadelphia tugboat, a role she maintained through the end of the Civil War and for a short period afterwards. Sorrel -- a wooden-hulled steam tug -- was purchased by the Navy at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, under the name W. S. Hancock on 1 August 1864 from Hillman and Streaker. The small steamer apparently served as a general purpose tug at the Philadelphia Navy Yard throughout her naval career.
