USS Princeton (1851)
USS ''Princeton'' (1851) was a large 1,370-ton steamer with powerful guns, some of whose timbers were those from the first , the U.S. Navy’s first screw steam warship.
''Princeton'' was originally assigned to sail with Admiral Matthew C. Perry’s squadron to Japan, but broke down due to boiler problems just as the voyage was to start. She was laid up prior to the start of the American Civil War, but, when that war broke out, she was reactivated as a receiving ship at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
== Built at the Boston Navy Yard in 1851 ==
The second Navy ship to be so named, ''Princeton'', a clipper-built ship, was laid down in June 1851 at Boston Navy Yard; launched in October 1851; sponsored by Lt. Edward R. Thompson; and commissioned 18 May 1852 at Boston, Massachusetts, Comdr. Sidney Smith Lee in command.
Some of the usable timbers of the first ''Princeton'' were incorporated in the new hull of the second ''Princeton''. Upon completion of the hull at Boston, ''Princeton'' proceeded 19 May 1852 to Baltimore, Maryland, where her machinery was installed at Vulcan Iron Works. New boilers and propellers were added but the original engines of “Ericsson semi-cylinder” design were retained. She remained at Baltimore until 18 November when she departed for Norfolk, Virginia, arriving the same day.
