Stringham, which sailed under sealed orders on the 26th of August, 1861. It was composed of the Minnesota (flagship) berland with the Minnesota following, led in toward Fort Clark. Soon the battle was on between the land and sea. Flag-Officer Stringham deserves great praise for the way he handled his small squadron; ships were kept in constant movement, and, thougpart in the action. Therefore he was rowed off to the flagship, where he gave up his sword to his former friend, Flag-Officer Stringham. Six hundred and fifteen men and officers were captured at Fort Hatteras, and twenty-five guns, all of which hfor the support of the blockading squadrons, while, at the same time, a foothold was afforded for military invasion. Stringham's fleet had now almost complete command of the most important passage to the North Carolina sounds. More than one port

On August 26, 1861, a squadron under Commodore Silas H. Stringham (afterwards rear-admiral) sailed from Hampton Roads in the first naval expedition of the war. It achieved the first victory for the Federal cause, capturing Forts Hatteras and Clark at Hatteras Inlet on August 29th.
