	USS Vesuvius (1846) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		USS Vesuvius, the second ship of the United States Navy named for the Italian volcano, was a coastal cargoman built in 1845 at Brooklyn, New York, as Saint Mary.
		She was acquired by the Navy at New York City in 1846 for use with the blockading squadrons in the Gulf of Mexico.
		She was probably refitted at New York, as records indicate that, under the command of Commander George A. Magruder, she departed from that port towards the end of the winter of 1846 and 1847, arriving at Laguna del Carmen, Mexico, on 7 March 1847, for blockade duty.
