(SwStr: t. 419) Thirty-fifth Parallel, also known as Parallel,
was constructed at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1859, and operated out
of New Orleans. She was outfitted with protective cotton-baling,
and taken into Confederate army service in the Tallahatchie and
Mississippi Rivers. In March 1863 Comdr. I. N. Brown, CSN, took
her 70 miles up the Tallahatchie where he transferred to the
steamer St. Mary's to make observations. Thirty-fifth Parallel
proceeded ahead into Federal territory and, encountering an
extremely narrow stream, was disabled, run ashore, and burned to
prevent capture by advancing Union forces in Chillicothe and
Baron DeKalb.
