Tennessee, an iron side-wheel steamship, was originally completed in 1865 as USS Muscoota. After the Navy sold her to private owners in June 1869, she was extensively rebuilt for merchant employment and renamed Tennessee. The ship had only a short civilian career, as she was destroyed by fire near Little River, North Carolina, on 29 June 1870.
