Summary of Civil War Deck Logs
Available at the National Archives.
Vessels, A-M.
by Terry Foenander.
By the time of the Civil War, vessels of the United States Navy were required to complete officially printed blank deck logs and forward them to the Navy Department. Entries consisted of descriptions of the weather, personnel taken on board ship, records of the daily occurrences aboard ship, and other such details. A summary of the instructions on what information was required to be filled in is included on a separate page (under construction).
National Archives and Records Service Special List 44: List of Logbooks of U.S. Navy Ships, Stations, and Miscellaneous Units, 1801 - 1947, compiled by Claudia Bradley, Michael Kutz, Rebecca Livingston, Timothy Mulligan, Muriel Parseghian, Paul Vanderveer and James Yale, and published in 1978, is a list of the available log books held by that source, for almost all the vessels of the United States Navy during that period. The entries include name of vessel, date span of the deck logs available, and the number of log books for that date span.
The following transcribed lists only include those vessels which operated during the Civil War years. Where the logs of a vessel continue well past the end of the war, I have made a note against the number of logbooks, indicating this fact. For those vessels that were in commission before the Civil War, I have only indicated when the logs commenced, and then included the date span for the period of the war. It is to be noted that not all logbooks, of vessels that were in operation during the Civil War, are available, as was noted by the author, when he attempted to obtain copies from the deck log of the USS Arizona. Some of these log books may have been lost when a vessel was lost, either through hostile action, or through an accident, such as the fire that destroyed the USS Arizona in early 1865. Some deck logs may be held at other localities. The majority, however, survived. Gaps between dates shown usually indicate that the vessel was decommissioned for repairs, etc., or were not filled out for some other reason. A large number of the vessels were decommissioned at the end of the war, or shortly after, and this is shown by the cessation of the logs. It is not known why some dates overlap each other, as in the date spans shown for the USS Currituck and the USS Henry James.
The genealogist researching his or her Civil War naval ancestor is strongly advised to search the pages of the deck logs, if the name of the vessel, on which their ancestor served, is known, as the logs included battle accounts, as well as many trivial activities, such as detachments, misdemeanors, and other such activities, usually naming those involved.
Copies from the pages of the deck logs can be purchased on microfilm from the National Archives, in Washington, D.C.
