Torrent was an American three-mast wooden barque that shipwrecked off the coast of Alaska on 15 July 1868 while transporting a company of United States Army artillerymen to Cook Inlet.

To protect the American interests, the United States Army sent an artillery company to construct a new fort near the mouth of the Kenai River on Cook Inlet.

The transported provisions were intended to last six months, and a second vessel, Milan, commanded by Captain Joseph Snow, followed carrying 267,000 board feet (630 m3) of lumber and 300 tons of coal.

After conferring with the captain and others knowledgeable about the area, McGilvray decided to establish a temporary fort at Port Graham, about 20 miles (32 km) south.

On the morning of 15 July, the mate sailed Torrent to the harbor but couldn't avoid a long, rocky reef that extends from the shore about a 1.5 miles (2.4 km).

An Army officer and some of the sailors attempted to reach Fort Kodiak in one of the lifeboats, but were forced to return.

Discovered on the wreck were guns, cannons, shoes and plates, as well as brass, copper and bronze objects.

Divers also located a toilet, two anchors, sections of hull and heavy bronze rudder hinges weighing at least 100 pounds (45 kg).
