L. C. Richmond

L.C. Richmond was a whaling vessel of 341 tons, active in the Pacific by 1834.

Purchased by the Union Navy at New Bedford, Massachusetts, on 25 October, 1861 for $4,000 to be used as part of the Stone Fleet, Captain Martin Malloy. In an effort to block the southern entrance into Charleston Harbor, she was sunk along with 15 other vessels on December 20, 1861, about four miles south-southeast of Fort Sumter and three miles east-southeast of the light on Morris Island, South Carolina.
