On April 11, 1861 Company C of the Third Massachusetts Regiment was assigned to duty with Col. Wardrop. The unit sailed April 17 aboard the S. R. Spaulding, reached Fortress Monroe April 20, then moved to Gosport Navy Yard to destroy rebel works. They later reinforced Hampton, endured arduous duties, and were mustered out July 22.
