End of famed warship Saratoga marked for future use
The old frigate Saratoga, tied at League Island, may be used as a receiving ship after a 1889 transfer to the Pennsylvania nautical school. An assessment found much of her bow structure beyond repair, with the warped bow blamed for seaworthy problems shown during a 190 miles north of Bermuda voyage that nearly tore the ship apart.
