Era No. 5
''Era No. 5'' — a shallow-draft steamer built in 1860 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania — was chartered by the Confederates early in 1863 to transport corn from the Red River to Camden, Arkansas. As the steamer — laden with 4,500 bushels of corn — proceeded to her destination on 14 February 1863, she rounded a sharp bend above the mouth of the Black River, came upon and was captured by the USS ''Queen of the West''.〔(''Queen of the West'' in DANFS ).〕 After a loss of the ''Queen of the West'' the same day, her crew fled to Union positions in the ''Era No.5''.〔Spencer Tucker, ''(Blue and Gray Navies: the Civil War Afloat )'', Annapolis: Naval Institute Press, 2006. ISBN 1-59114-882-0, p.223〕 ''Era No. 5'' was then assigned to Colonel Charles R. Ellet's river fleet, fitted out with protective cotton baling and used by the Union as a dispatch boat and transport in the Mississippi River. ==Notes==
