OLD WAR SL0OP FOR SALE
The Jamestown Once Considered
Fastest Boat in Her Glass.
the Rostun Advertise,

From the Boston Advertiser
The old sloop of war Jamestown, the
companion of the Portsmouth. is for sale
by the government. The ship is now being
used as quarantine vessel by the marine
hospital service, but she is becoming too
antiquated for that service. and like the
old famous racehorse celebrated for many
a victorious run at last reaches the mar
ket place marked for sale.
She Is now at Hampton roads, where
she has become familiar to all visitors to
Old Point Comfort, but even the Marine
Corps has found the ship no longer
serviceable. and as a hospital ship her
place has been taken by the old revenue
cutter Chase.
In her day the jamestown was con-
sidered one Of the fastest ships of her
type. The jamestown and the Ports
mouth were both sloops of war specially
used in breaking up the slave traffic.
They were three masters, square rugged.
and looked most impressive in their
spread of canvas.
Both had many an exciting race and
seldom did their quarry escape Both had
speed as is shown by the fact that the
Portsmouth made the distance from San
Francisco to Washington in 40 days, re-
markably short time for those days.
The jamestown was built In 1916, and
so saw considerable service in the civil
war besides that of chasing down slave
traders Her length is 1631a feet, her
beam 361a feet and she is Is feet deep in
the hold all told making considerable
vessel for service in humble way in
present seagoing traffic. OF course, the
navy has no use for such vessels now.
and to tie her to 'dock for the inspec-
ton of the curious would use up much
valuable space. The navy cannot afford
to become a mere museum.
