Leather water/fire bucket from the USS Hartford, restored and repainted with the following text, "USS Hartford / 1861-2-3-4," with anchor at center. 10.75 in. high, approx. 18 in. high with handles, 9 in. dia.
The USS Hartford, launched in 1858, was the first ship of the US Navy named for Hartford, CT. The Hartford embarked to China and other Far Eastern ports, but with the outbreak of the Civil War, she returned home to be fitted for wartime service. Serving as the flagship for Admiral David Farragut, she participated in the Battle of New Orleans, the Battle of Vicksburg, and most notably, the Battle of Mobile Bay, and was recommissioned after the war until 1926. In 1956, allowed to deteriorate and sink at her berth, the Hartford was dismantled.
