The USS Jamestown,Commissioned in 1844, the USS Jamestown was a US Navy sloop that certainly saw an interesting career on her world travels which included Africa, South American, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, Alaska, Tahiti, Fiji, and the Hawaiian Islands. Originally, she was one of the first navy ships tasked with interdicting illegal slave traders from Africa.  Later she was tasked with the humanitarian mission of supplying food to Ireland during the Irish Potato Famine.  During the Civil War she served as a blockage runner and was responsible for the capture of 5 Confederate supply ships.  After the Civil War she was sent to the Pacific as a supply vessel, suppling US Navy ports as far north as Sitka, Alaska and patrolling as far west as Tahiti and Fiji.  The USS Jamestown ended her career as a training vessel and later a Marine hospital.  She was destroyed by fire in 1913. -- source link
