Synopsis "USCS Varina"

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USCS Varina was a schooner that served as a survey ship in the United States Coast Survey, a predecessor of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, from 1854 to 1875. Varina was built in 1854 by Fardy Brothers at Baltimore, Maryland. She entered Coast Survey service that year. On more than one occasion, Varina assisted mariners in distress. In December 1856, at the request of the American consul in Havana, Cuba, Varina called at Nassau on New Providence in the Bahama Islands to take on board the crew and steerage passengers of the American ship Julia Howard, which a short time earlier had wrecked on the Bahama Banks, leaving her crew and passengers destitute at New Providence. Varina transported Julia Howard's crew to Havana, and then took her passengers and any crew who preferred it to Pensacola, Florida.
