was destroyed in the Delaware in 177T
to prevent its capture by the British.
The present Independence was the
first of the "A gun battleships built for
service against the fleets of Great Brit
ain in the second war with that coun
try. It's keel was laid in the year 1872
and it was launched in 1914. In Janu-
airy of the following year it sailed on
its maiden cruise for the Mediterranean
sea, bearing the flag of Commodore
cambridge.
The independence sailed in company
with the frigates United States, Con-
gress, sloop of war Erie, the briggs
Boxer. Chifferna, Firefy, Saranae and
several smaller craft At Gibraltar
was found the squadron Of Commodore
Decatur, consisting of the frigates
Guerrero, Macedonian and Conslella-
ton.
With the Joining of these two squad
rons-the first formidable fleet ever
gathered in foreign waters by the
United States. and coming so soon after
hostilities with England-was sub
ject of considerable chagrln to the
british officers. The latter had circu-
lated the report that the Americans
were not allowed to build ships of the
line, and the lordly proportions of the
Independence were sufficient contradic-
ton.
War had been declared against AL
geria and the Independence took part
with the other vessels of the American
Navy in blockading the ports of that
power and bringing the war to a sue
cessful close.
The only vessels left Of this great
feet are the Independence and Con-
stellation, which is being used as a re-
| cruiting ship at Newport, R. |.
Upon the return of the Independence
| from foreign waters it acted as guard
! ship to Boston harbor until 1919. In
! 1886 it was reduced from three decks
to two, carrying 81 guns, and sailed
! for Europe as the flagship of Commo-
! dOre Nicholson, with George Dallas,
! who was the minister to Russia from
| the United States, on board On this
! trip all records for speed were broken
/ between New York and Cronstadt.
| In 1916, with Commodore Shubrick in
command, the independence sailed for
! the Pacific Coast and after spending
/ three years in Pacific waters and par
ticipating in the capture of Guaymas
/ and Mazatlan, the warship returned
to the Atlantic Coast and later sailed
for the Mediterranean as the flagship
/ of the United States squadron.
] In 1854 the Independence was re
fitted in the New York navy yard and
/ again sent to the Pacific Coast for the
last time, and was made guardship to
San Francisco Bay, lying off Third
street. In 1858 the Independence was
converted into a receiving ship for the
United States Navy at Mare Island.

More than seventy have so far been
