During the American Civil War, on August 18, 1864, the Confederate ship CSS Tallahassee under the command of John Taylor Wood sailed into Halifax harbour for supplies, coal and to make repairs to her mainmast.
Wood served for a time aboard the USS Ohio alongside William Hall and later supported Hall's US Navy pension claim.
