USS Julia (1863)

USS "Julia" (1863) was a sloop captured by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used by the Union Navy as a tender ship in support of the Union Navy.

"Julia" was an English sloop operating out of Nassau, Bahamas, captured by Union gunboat "Sagamore" 8 January 1863. When taken some 10 miles north of Jupiter Inlet, Florida, she was attempting to slip through the Union blockade laden with salt badly needed by the Confederacy. She was taken to Key West, Florida, where she was condemned by a prize court and sold to the U.S. Navy.

She was place in service 15 February, Acting Master's Mate L. C. Coggeshall in charge, and used as a tender to Northern blockaders along the coast. "Tahoma", "Pursuit", and "Eugenie" were among the ships she assisted during the war.

On 20 February, she shared in the capture of bark "Stonewall".

"Julia" was broken up and sold at Key West, Florida, in 1865.
