Post-war
Winnebago returned to Mobile Bay at the end of the Civil War. Laid up across from New Orleans, on the Algiers side of the Mississippi, on 27 September 1865, Winnebago remained there into the early 1870s. She was renamed twice during that time: the first to Tornado on 15 June 1869; and then given back her original name Winnebago on 10 August 1869. She was sold at auction, at New Orleans, on 12 September 1874.

Famous quotes containing the word post-war:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
