USS Flusser was a schooner captured by the Union Navy during the American Civil War.

She was used by the Union Navy as a storeship whose duty was to supply other Union Navy ships with coal, ammunition, and other necessary provisions.

Service history

Flusser—a 66 ft (20 m) schooner captured from the Confederates in 1864 but never libeled as a prize—was used as a coal hulk and to carry ordnance and stores to ships in the North Carolina sounds. Flusser was sold at Washington, D.C. on 23 September 1865.

The West Indies Anti-Piracy Operations refer to the United States Navy presence in the Antilles, and surrounding waters, which fought against pirates. Between 1817 and 1825, the American West Indies Squadron constantly pursued pirates on sea and land, primarily around Cuba and Puerto Rico. After the capture of Roberto Cofresi in 1825, acts of piracy became rare, and the operation was considered a success, although limited occurrences went on until slightly after the start of the 20th century.
