USS Stephen Young (1861)

USS Stephen Young (1861)

The USS "Stephen Young" was one of the ships of the Stone Fleet, sunk in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina as a blockade during the American Civil War.

The 200 ton merchant brig was purchased by the Union Navy on 27 November 1861 in Boston, Massachusetts. She sailed from Boston on 10 December 1861, and was sunk in Maffitt's Channel of Charleston harbor on January 25 or 26, 1862.

This "Stephen Young" may be the merchantman cargo ship "Stephen J. Young", which was previously captained by Isaac D. Seyburn, a Union naval officer who later helped maintain the blockade in this area.
