- Established during the first year of the
Civil War to guard against secessionist attacks, the Mare Island
Navy Yard, adjacent to Vallejo in San Francisco Bay, had the
U.S.S. Independence docked in its harbor for use as a barracks
for 25 soldiers and occasional marines. The expected attacks
did not materialize and the guard was suspended after four months
in early 1862.
