Reinburg, Louis C., Masters Mate, USN, Civil War
Obituary - Reinburg, Louis C.
The Evening Star, October 17, 1903 Funeral of Louis Reinburg Naval Veteran's Remains Escorted to Grave by Marines
The funeral of Louis Reinburg, a naval veteran of the war, took place from St. Peter's Church this morning. It was largely attended by members of Kit Carson Post, No. 2, of the Grand Army of the Republic of which he was a member, and also by the employees of the division of the pension office, where Mr. Reinberg had served. Mr. Reinburg served in the navy from 1856, when he entered as a "boy," to 1866 when he was discharged as master's mate. The crowning event f his naval career was when, in February 1864, while an officer on the United States steamer Sabine, under the gallant Commodore Ringgold, he took pat in the rescue of a battalion of marines from the line-of-battle ship Vermont, disabled in a gale, for which act of gallantry he, together with the officers and crew of his ship, received the special thanks of Congress by joint resolution, March 7, 1864. On this account the general commanding the marine corps tendered the deceased the unusual honor of an escort of a detachment of marines, who fired three volleys over the grave in the Congressional cemetery.
The first USS Sabine was a sailing frigate built by the United States Navy in 1855. The ship was among the first ships to see action in the American Civil War. In 1862, a large portion of the Monitor crew were volunteers from the Sabine.
She was built at the New York Navy Yard. Her keel was laid in 1822, but she was not launched until 3 February 1855. During this period, she underwent various alterations, the most extensive being a lengthening of her hull by twenty feet. Built essentially from Brandywine plans, she was commissioned on 23 August 1858, Capt. Henry A. Adams in command
Civil War, 1861–1865
Through July and August, she was out of commission at Portsmouth Navy Yard. Recommissioning on 30 August, she was ordered to join the Atlantic Blockading Squadron on 9 September.
During the Civil War, Sabine was actively employed along the east coast searching for Confederate raiders. She participated in the relief and reinforcement of Fort Pickens, Florida, in April 1861, under command of Capt. Adams; the rescue of 500 marines and the crew of chartered troop transport Governor during a violent storm off South Carolina on 2 and 3 November 1861; the search for Vermont in March 1862, after the ship-of-the-line had been badly damaged by a storm while sailing to Port Royal, South Carolina; and the hunt for CSS Alabama in October 1862 and CSS Tacony in June 1863.
Sabine returned to New York for blockade duty with the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron until ordered in August 1864 to Norfolk, Virginia as a training ship for Navy apprentices and landsmen.
