USS ''Kalmia'' (1863) was a steamer acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used by the Union Navy as a tugboat in support of the Union Navy blockade of Confederate waterways. ''Kalmia'', a screw steamer, was built as ''Innes'' at Philadelphia in 1863 and purchased for the Navy by Rear Admiral Hiram Paulding 5 October from her owner, Arron Innes, Poughkeepsie, New York. Renamed ''Kalmia'' 24 April 1864, the Naval Register of 1865 lists her as assigned to the North Atlantic Blockade Squadron as a fourth-rate tug. No further record of her other naval service has been found. ''Kalmia'' was sold at public auction in New York City, New York, 25 October 1865. She was redocumented as ''F. B. Thurber'' 12 December; renamed ''James Hughes'' 8 November 1898; and destroyed by fire 15 June 1905 at Bartlett's Point, New York. == References == * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS Kalmia (1863)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
