abstract
  • The first Princeton was the first screw steam warship in the United States Navy. Commanded by corn Captain Robert F. Stockton Princeton was launched on 5 September 1843, decommissioned in 1847, and broken up in 1849. The Princeton's reputation in the Navy never recovered from a devastating incident early in her service. On February 28, 1844, during a Potomac River pleasure cruise and demonstration of her two heavy guns for dignitaries, one of the guns exploded and killed Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur, Secretary of the Navy Thomas Gilmer, and other high-ranking U.S. federal officials. President John Tyler barely escaped death in the incident.
