NAVY'S LAST WOODEN SHIP
Relic of the Old Type of War Vessel
Passes to New Jerseys
Naval Militia.

The Adams, the last of the old
wooden ships of the United States
navy, which from 1908 until last fall
was the training ship of the Pennsyl-
vania State Nautical school, has been
turned over to the New Jersey naval
militia for their cruise off the Maine
coast, we read in the Philadelphia
Ledger.
This relic of the "old navy" Is one
of the most picturesque ships now
afloat. Bark rugged, with her tow
ering masts and high black topsides
and the guns peering through her
ports, she is an object of admiration
and curiosity in every part she visits.
She was built in 1874. Until June,
1889, when she went to Samoa, she
had an uneventful existence. During
the controversy with Germany she
was the sole defender OF the Amerf-
can flag in that territory. She then
was sent to the Pacific coast, and In
1894 went ashore in Boring strait.
She was fioated, repaired and brought
back to the United States. She then
went out of commission, until 1908,
when she was turned over to the
Pennsylvania State Nautical board.
