The Union Navy placed Stonewall in service as a ship’s tender, a role she played during the rest of the war.

Stonewall was a Southern pilot boat captured by Union screw gunboat USS Tahoma on, or sometime shortly before, 24 February 1863.

The highlight of her career came on 24 January 1864 when she captured Southern sloop Josephine of Tampa, Florida, bound for Havana, Cuba, with seven bales of cotton.

In October 1864, Stonewall was transferred to blockade duty, still as a tender, between St. Marks and Cedar Keys, Florida, and she served in that area through the end of the Civil War.
