USS ''George Washington Parke Curtis'' was a barge acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War for the purpose of using her as a balloon-launching platform in order to spy on Confederate defenses a long distance off. This initial balloon experiment by John A. Dahlgren led to intensified balloon spying during the remainder of the war. == Conversion to balloon barge by John A. Dahlgren == ''George Washington Parke Custis'', a coal barge built in the mid-1850s, was purchased by the Union Navy in August 1861; fitted out with a gas-generating apparatus developed by Thaddeus Sobieski Constantine Lowe; and modified by Dahlgren at the Washington Navy Yard for her service as a balloon barge.
