Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei:
I timata te Pakanga o Veracruz i te Poutu-te-rangi 22, 1847. I te rā i mua, ka huri te kapa i whakaritea ai a "Potomac" ki te whakahau a Commodore Matthew Perry. I te Poutu-te-rangi 23, i whakahaua e Perry etahi waahanga moana ki te takutai ki te whakatu i nga papahiko takutai. I whakawhiwhia a Parker ki te papahiko takutai mai i te "Potomac" me nga papahiko katoa i raro i te whakahau a Kapene Alexander Slidell Mackenzie. Ko te rangatira hononga a te ope taua ki te Naval Shore Battery ko Kapene Robert E. Lee.
