Sisson, William B.
Probably the sloop of war Erie. According to Wikipedia: After lying in ordinary at Boston from 21 Aug. 1832 to 24 June 1834, Erie served on the Brazil Station for 3 years, as flagship during the last two. During a period of revolution and other political disturbance, her squadron gave protection to Americans and their commerce, and provided vital intelligence concerning Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina.
