Term used to refer to the fleet of vessels used in the fresh water campaigns during the Civil War, particularly on the Mississippi and its many tributaries.
It was not a glamorous job, and very dangerous, river currents, restricted maneuvering room and danger from the shore batteries made these positions less than desirable.
