USS Curlew (1862)
USS ''Curlew'' (1862) was a Union Navy steamship purchased during the second year of the American Civil War.
''Curlew'' was a light draft vessel, capable of sailing up shallow streams. She was outfitted with eight heavy howitzers, designed for bombardment, and was assigned to the blockade of the Confederate States of America. Because of the light draft and the howitzers, she was assigned as a mortar gunboat, and she operated on Southern waterways during the course of the war.
== Built in Pennsylvania in 1862 ==
''Curlew'', a stern-wheel steamer, was built in 1862 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as ''Florence''; purchased by the United States Navy on 17 December 1862; converted to a light-draft gunboat and renamed ''Curlew''; and commissioned 16 February 1863, acting Master G. Hentig in command. She was named for the curlew, a large bird having long legs and a long, slender, downward-curved bill.
