CSS Hampton

CSS Hampton was a wooden gunboat of the Confederate States Navy, one of the few "Hampton" class gunboats to be built.
"Hampton" was built at Norfolk Navy Yard in 1862 and based there until May 1862, when the yard was abandoned and the fleet moved up the James River. With Lieutenant John Herndon Maury, CSN, in command, "Hampton" participated in significant river actions including the battle at Dutch Gap on August 13, 1864; operations against Fort Harrison on September 29-October 1; and the engagement at Chaffin's Bluff on October 22.
"Hampton" was burned by the Confederates as they evacuated Richmond, Virginia on April 3, 1865.
