Transport ship used by the Confederates and captured during the Civil War. From the same sockmaster that brought us CSS Ida ( AfD discussion) and CSS Manassas (clipper) ( AfD discussion). A sock was responsible for CSS Jeff Davis (1863 steamship) ( AfD discussion). As it is, we have no context for this vessel except for the three sentences taken from DANFS. Silverstone's Warships of the Civil War Navies devotes a single sentence to this vessel. Lytle's "Merchant Steam Vessels of the United States 1807-1868" lists 5 White Clouds and a White Cloud No. 2; this is apparently a different White Cloud as that one was in Union service during the 1862 Ft. Donelson campaign but this one was not captured from the CSA until 1863. There's so little to work with her that I think expansion would be almost impossible due to the inability to distinguish this ship from others with the same name.
