Joseph E. Coffee (1846) (AKA CSS Warren Winslow)
Joseph E. Coffee or J. E. Coffee, was launched in 1846 at New York City. She had been built at the B. C. Terry yard. A sidewheel steamer, Joseph E. Coffee had a tonnage of 207 tons. Her first home port was New York City, and she was used in the coastal merchant trade. The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships (DANFS) describes her as a river steamer, and notes that she had at least at one point been associated with Norfolk, Virginia. After the secession of North Carolina in May 1861, she was purchased and converted for military service in the American Civil War. The purchase took place at Norfolk. As a military vessel, she became known as Winslow or Warren Winslow.
CSS Winslow was a sidewheel steamer that was used as a gunboat in the early stages of the American Civil War. She was equipped as a military vessel by the state government of North Carolina. The vessel took part in commerce raiding against Union shipping, capturing 16 vessels from May to August 1861. In July, she was transferred from serving for the state of North Carolina to the Confederate States Navy. During the Battle of Forts Hatteras and Clark on August 28, Winslow landed reinforcements for Confederate-held Fort Hatteras, and then evacuated survivors the next day, with the Union gaining control of the position. As part of an operation to rescue the crew of the wrecked French corvette Prony, Winslow struck the wreck of a lightship on November 7. The Confederates rescued Winslow‘s crew and burned the wreck.
