Excerpt: USS Anacostia (1856) was a steamer, constructed as a tugboat, that was first chartered by the United States Navy for service during the Paraguay crisis of the 1850s and then commissioned as a U.S. Navy ship. She later served prominently in the Union Navy during the American Civil War. Anacostia - a screw steamer built at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1856 as M.W. Chapin - originally operated out of Middletown, Connecticut, as a merchant tug. During subsequent service as a canal boat, the vessel caught the eye of the Federal Government which chartered her sometime in September 1858quite possibly on the 13th of that monthfor its forthcoming expedition to South American waters. The historically cordial relations between Paraguay and the United States had soured in the summer and autumn of 1854 when the American consul, Edward A. Hopkins, fell out of the favor of Paraguay's Permanent President, Carlos Antonio Lope. More: Books, , United-States-Navy-Tenders~~Books-LLC, , , , , , , , , , General Books LLC<
