Virginia Operations
On 15 February Maumee was ordered up Cape Fear River to support Union Army operations, and 10 days later she was assigned to the James River for similar action. In March, when the Confederate capitol of Richmond, Virginia, fell, Maumee was one of the vessels assigned occupation duty along the waterfront.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
