High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Two Sisters (1856) was a small 54-ton captured Confederate schooner acquired by the Union Navy from the prize court during the American Civil War. Two Sisters was put into service as a gunboat and, when required, as a ship's tender, by the Union Navy to patrol navigable waterways of the Confederacy to prevent the South from trading with other countries. Two Sisters -- a schooner built in 1856 at Baltimore, Maryland -- was captured on 21 September 1862 by Union steamer Albatross off the mouth of the Rio Grande River while attempting to slip through the Federal blockade to Brownsville, Texas, with a cargo of 87 bales of gunny cloth needed by the Confederacy for baling cotton.
