CSS Baltic was an iron and cottonclad sidewheeler ship built in 1860 in Philadelphia as a river tow boat belonging to the Southern Steamship Co. She was purchased by the State of Alabama, converted to an armored ram, and turned over to the Confederate States Navy in the middle of 1862. Her first commanding officer was Lieutenant James D. Johnston. The Baltic was captured at Nanna Hubba Bluff, Tombigbee River, Alabama, on 10 May 1865 and sold on 31 December 1865.
