    bark rigged screw sloop - USS Enterprise

    I found this old photo in my stack-o-stuff . I believe it's the 5th USS enterprise , built in 1874 , Kittery Maine . I wonder what it's fate was ? All I can find is that it was last used as a Naval training vessel , and finally sold in 1909 .

    From the US navy histroy site:

    USS Enterprise was sold in October 1909 and subsequently broken up.

    The last photo the ship is square rigged. The first photo appears to be sloop rigged.
