USS Garland was a bark acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. The Navy planned on using her as part of the stone fleet; however, because of the Union Army's need for a supply ship, she was transferred to that service for the duration of the entire war.
Garland was a bark built at Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1815 for service as a privateer. She was rebuilt at New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1845 and purchased there by Morgan and Chappell for $3,150 for the Navy on 28 October 1861 for the " Stone Fleet." [1] However, she was not used as an obstruction but transferred to the Army Quartermaster Department at Hilton Head, South Carolina, 7 January 1862 for service as a supply ship.
