The cost to the nation for building this
ship was $685. GOO.
Commodore Charles Stewart C"Old
Ironsides''j was ordered to equip the
Pennsylvania and take her to Norfolk.
Va. 10 be sheathed with copper. This
order Of the Secretary of the Navy to
transfer the ship to another city to be
coppered produced a deep and universal
dissatisfaction among the citizens of
Philadelphia. and indeed the whole
State. Large and spirited meetings
were convened TO demonstrate against
the measure and TO urge upon the Exec
utive the necessity for having her com
pleted in the yard where her keel had
been laid.
In this Commodore Stewart warmly
participated. but the determination OF
the department was iTreversibIe and he
yielded with regret TO the fiat of the
department which took from the State
OF Pennsylvania the honor of giving the
finishing stroke TO the noble ship that
bore her own name
The old Pennsylvania never went on
q protracted cruise In fact. she al
ways remained near Norfolk. and was
said 10 be somewhat topheavy She fin
ally became a receiving ship. and was
destroyed by fire az the abandonment OF
