OLD NIPSIC IS AN ICEBOx
Warship That Survived Samoa Storm
Turned to Commercial Uses by
Canning Company.

Washington. Converted into q 81
gantic floating icebox for salmon, the
old United States cruiser Nipsic lies
off the San Juan islands, near ltelling-
ham. Wash, being now useful piece
of property OF canning company.
The interior of the old warship. which
is of wood, has been made over into
a row OF great bins, into which the
salmon, brought from the fishing
ground are dumped through a long
funnel at the bow and iced. The proc
ess will not freeze the fish, but will
keep them in cold storage until they
can be canned. Frozen fish may be
sold for table use, but are not thought
good for canning.
The Nipsic has had an interesting
history, though never in battle. Built
in 1873 at Washington, she was long
attached to the Pacific fleet. She was
one OF the American warships that
were overwhelmed by the hurricane
at Samoa in 1855 with vessels of the
English and German navies. All but
the English cruiser Calliope went
ashore, but the Nipsic fortunately
went on a sandy beach The crew OF
the Nipsic performed heroic deeds in
saving seamen from other vessels.
After being hauled of and repaired
the Nipsic became a receiving ship at
Bremerton. and was later turned into
a prison ship. Last spring she was
sold as no longer Of any use to the
navy
