C.S. Neptune

C.S. Army Tug "Neptune" (circa 1862-1863) was a wooden tugboat taken over by the Confederate Army in about 1862 for the Texas Marine Department. She was employed as a tug, transport and lookout vessel in the vicinity of Galveston.cite web | title=Confederate Ships - C.S.

On 1 January 1863, during the Battle of Galveston, Confederate troops used her and the gunboat "Bayou City" in an effort to board and capture the USS "Harriet Lane". Though the enterprise was a success, the "Neptune" was badly damaged and sank shortly afterwards.
