CSS Bombshell

CSS "Bombshell" — believed to have been an Erie Canal steamer — was a U.S. Army transport. "Bombshell" was sunk by the Confederate batteries in Albemarle Sound, North Carolina on April 18, 1864. She was raised by the Confederate forces and taken into the Confederate States Navy under the command of Lieutenant Albert Gallatin Hudgins, CSN. "Bombshell" was recaptured in Albemarle Sound by USS "Mattabesett" and USS "Sassacus" on May 5, 1864 and sent to New York.
