USS Mystic - Steamship Mount Savage (1853-1857).
Served as USS Memphis in 1858-1859 and as USS Mystic in 1859-1865.
Was also named Memphis in 1857-1859 and General Custer in 1865-1868

Mount Savage, a 452-ton (burden) screw steamship, was built in 1853 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was renamed Memphis in 1857. Chartered by the Navy in September 1858, she served as USS Memphis during the Paraguay expedition of late 1858 and early 1859. The steamer was purchased by the Navy in May 1859 and renamed Mystic a few weeks later. In June and July 1860, while operating off Africa, she captured two slave ships.

During the first part of the Civil War, Mystic served in the blockade of the Confederacy's Atlantic Coast. She assisted in the capture or destruction of four blockade runners off North Carolina in June-September 1862, among them the steamers Emma and Sunbeam. While in the process of taking the latter, on 28 September, she was damaged in collision with USS State of Georgia. Mystic was employed in the Chesapeake Bay region from late 1862 until the war's end. In May 1863 she supported the Army during an expedition up the York River and in September of that year seized a sailing vessel off Yorktown. USS Mystic was sold to private owners in June 1865. Renamed General Custer, she disappeared from merchant vessel registers in 1868.

This page features the the only view of the steamship Mount Savage (1853-1868), which was  the USS Mystic in 1859-1865.

The Mystic - Built in 1877
 
In all aspects of the 19th century New England Fisheries, probably the most distinctive and colorful was the Gloucester mackerel purse seiner with its specialized gear, its exacting and carefully-timed techniques. Fast handsome schooners were built specially for seasonal work. Speed was of the greatest importance since you need to clean and salt the catch quickly due to fast spoilage. For these reasons the ship had to get the the fish to market in the fastest time.
 
The Schooner Mystic was built in 1877 and confined her activities to mackerel fishing. In the winter she stayed laid up.
