George Schutt (c. 1833 – unknown) was a Union Navy sailor in the American Civil War and a recipient of the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions at the Battle of Natural Bridge.
Born in about 1833 in Ireland, Schutt joined the U.S. Navy from the state of New York.
On that day and the next, he accompanied a Union Army force during the Battle of Natural Bridge near St. Marks, Florida.
[2][3] Schutt's official Medal of Honor citation reads: As coxswain on board the U.S.S.
Serving with the army in charge of Navy howitzers during the attack on St. Marks and throughout the fierce engagement, Schutt made remarkable efforts in assisting transport of the gun, and his coolness and determination in courageously remaining by his gun while under the heavy fire of the enemy were a credit to the service to which he belonged.
