High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Sweet Brier (1862) was a steamer acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. Sweet Briar was used by the Union Navy as an armed tugboat in support of the Union Navy blockade of Confederate waterways. Sweet Brier -- a wooden screw tug built at Buffalo, New York, in 1862 -- was purchased by the Union Navy at New York City on 22 September 1863; and was commissioned at the New York Navy Yard on 25 January 1864, Acting Ensign J. D. Dexter in command. The tug departed New York City on 3 February 1864, and arrived off Charleston, South Carolina, on 4 March and was assigned to blockade duty off that southern port. On 8 July, she captured blockade running schooner Pocahontas off Charleston laden with cotton. Sweet Brier continued to serve in the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron through the end of the war and sailed north on 27 June 1865.
