The Maryland Naval Harbor Marines in April of 1861 supported the secessionists. If we should view them as "Confederate Marines" or as sailors is an open question.
These 75 men manned four gunboats. Their uniforms remain unknown and I am interested in hearing if anyone knows what uniforms they wore. It is possible that they were dressed like the secession surporting local Infantry units, gray Garibaldi shirts, black pants, and glazed caps. However, the Maryland Naval Harbor Marines may have worn different attire. Some kind of naval uniform? I would love to hear from anyone who knows what the wore.
