Fate of Famous Sea Fighter to San Francisco Museum
The Portsmouth sloop of war, a Civil War and Mexican War era ship, will be sent to San Francisco as a naval museum. Moored at Hoboken as a training ship for the New Jersey naval reserve, she will yield to the modern Tonopah, then head around Cape Horn to the Pacific. Built in 1843, she entered San Francisco harbor in 1846, participated in the seizure of Los Angeles and Monterey, and earned the nickname Black Devil after valiant actions against Chinese forts. The ship carries 22 guns, 161 crew, and 989 tons. The Tonopah will arrive soon to take her place.
