USS Pontoosuc was a double-ender Union Navy gunboat
in the American Civil War. She was commissioned at Portland,
Maine on 10 May 1864. During August 1864, the
gunboat participated in the search for the
Confederate raider Tallahassee. Late in that year,
and in January 1865, USS Pontoosuc was one of the
large fleet that bombarded Fort Fisher during the
two assaults that ultimately seized that strategic
position and eliminated Wilmington, North Carolina,
as a blockade running port.
