High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Tigress (1861) was a steamer chartered by the Union Navy at the beginning of the American Civil War. Tigress was outfitted with a howitzer and ordered to patrol the Potomac River, which separated the Union capital of Washington, D.C. from the state of Virginia, which later became the capital of the Confederate States of America. Tigress -- a screw tugboat -- was chartered by the Union Navy at Baltimore, Maryland, from A. C. Hall sometime in the summer of 1861 prior to 20 August. At some now unknown date, she was purchased by the Navy. She departed Baltimore on 20 August, bound for the Washington Navy Yard.
