Garonne

[Transcriber: A river in France.]


(Sch: t. 14; a. none)

Garonne was a small wooden schooner captured by Santee off Galveston, Tex., 30 December 1861. She was apparently used as a lighter in the Gulf Blockading Squadron before being sunk as an obstruction in Petit Bois Channel on the Gulf coast.
