	Later, during the [[American Civil War]], about the time of the [[Peninsula Campaign]], [[Gas balloon\|gas-filled balloons]] were being used to perform reconnaissance on [[Confederate States of America\|Confederate]] positions. The battles turned inland into the heavily [[forest]]ed areas of the [[Virginia Peninsula]] where balloons could not travel. A [[coal]] [[barge]], the ''George Washington Parke Custis'', was cleared of all [[deck (ship)\|deck]] [[rigging]] to accommodate the [[gas generator]]s and apparatus of balloons. From this ship, professor [[Thaddeus S. C. Lowe]], Chief Aeronaut of the [[Union Army Balloon Corps]], made his first ascents over the [[Potomac River]] and [[telegraph]]ed claims of his successful aerial venture. Other barges were converted to assist with the other military balloons transported about the eastern waterways. None of these Civil War craft ever sailed on the high seas. A Confederate balloon carrier, the [[CSS Teaser]], was in service from 1861 to 1862 before being captured by the Union Navy.
