USS Peoria (1863)

USS Peoria (1863)

The first USS "Peoria" was a double-ended sidewheel steamer in the United States Navy.

"Peoria" was built at the New York Navy Yard; launched October 29 1863; and commissioned December 26, 1866, Commander Oscar C. Badger in command.

Assigned to the North Atlantic station, "Peoria" got underway from New York January 6 1867 for shakedown along the southeast coast. Returning to Hampton Roads, Virginia on March 12, she sailed on April 14 for the West Indies.

Touching at the Virgin Islands, Santo Domingo, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and the Leeward Islands, she then turned north to Hampton Roads before dropping anchor at Portsmouth, New Hampshire on July 28 1867. Peoria decommissioned there September 5 1867, and was sold August 26 1868.
