USS Passaic, first of a ten-ship class of 1335-ton ironclad monitors, was built at Greenpoint, New York. Passaic's
combat service began on 23 February 1863, in Wassau Sound, Georgia,
where she took part in the capture of a blockade-running schooner. Passaic
was one of nine ironclads that attacked Fort Sumter, off Charleston,
South Carolina, on 7 April 1863. She received serious damage at that
time and had to go to New York for repairs. Returning to the war zone
in late July, Passaic kept busy over the next two months
bombarding Confederate fortifications at the harbor entrance. Among
other contributions, her gunfire helped to reduce Fort Wagner, on
Morris Island, facilitating its capture in early September. Passaic spent the remainder of the Civil War operating in South Carolina and Georgia waters.
After more than a decade in reserve, USS Passaic was sold in October 1899.
