SUMMARY:Archival Adventures: Trip to Union Occupied New Orleans | USS Dacotah Engineer's Journal Part 4
DESCRIPTION:It's time for an adventure! This week we continue our series on 
 the Phillip Peltz Journal and the USS Dacotah\, picking up in mid-May 1862 
 as the ship sets out on a round trip to Union Occupied New Orleans. The USS 
 Dacotah was a steam powered sloop commissioned by the United States Navy. 
 It launched on March 23\, 1859\, from Norfolk Navy Yard and served in both 
 the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. On March 9\, 1862\, Dacotah joined the 
 Union blockade of the North Atlantic. It was stationed near Hampton Roads\, 
 Virginia\, through September 1862 and then patrolled the Atlantic seaboard 
 throughout the rest of the war. Learn more about Peltz’s journal in the

 the mob in check at New Orleans” by artist Charles Stanley Reinhart. The 
 drawing is done with brown ink and brown wash over pencil on off-white 
 woven paper. It depicts Benjamin Franklin Butler\, Civil War Union army 
 Major General\, standing on the portico of a marble building with the 
 American flag waving overhead. He has a stern expression and arms folded\, 
 and is positioned before a mob of angry\, violent men clenching their fists 
 and brandishing weapons. Image is from The Caroline and Erwin Swann
