Names Of Civil War Steamers.

There are a lot of people looking for their ancestors boats that may have been in the civil war.  Their ancestor may have been a owner of one or may have been a captain or just a member of the crew.

There were hundreds if not thousands of steamers on the rivers of America at the time of the civil war.  Many of these ships names were lost to history and some ships names were changed.  I tried to pick names that were not so famous.  I was looking for the lesser known names.  Although I know some of this names are of battle ships, but mostly they are of Hospital ships, Mail Carriers and Troop Transporters.

Some families may already know the name of their ancestors ship but don't know what it was doing in the civil war now is your chance to find out.  There are some reports on these ships however these reports are mostly of troop moverments.  You may request a look up and I will see what I can find.

Note.  There are a 105 names on this list.  These names were put down as they were found so they are not in any alphabetical order.

Note to Author.  Look in the Iowa Regiments.
