USS Winnipec (1865-1869)

USS Winnipec, a 1370-ton Mohongo class iron "double-ender" gunboat, was built at Boston, Massachusetts. Completed in 1865, she served as a practice ship at the U.S. Naval Academy during 1866-67. Winnipec was decommissioned in 1868 and sold in June 1869. She subsequently became the merchant steamship South Carolina.

This page features our only view of USS Winnipec (1865-1869).
