United States Revenue Cutter Commodore Perry (1884) was an iron-hulled revenue cutter built in 1884 for revenue service on the Great Lakes, where she served for nine years. In December 1893, she was transferred to the West Coast of the United States, for service in the Pacific Northwest and Alaskan waters, where she served until wrecked near the Pribilof Islands on 27 July 1910.[1] HistoryThe Perry was built at Union Drydock Company, Buffalo, New York, for a cost of $83,000 (${{formatprice|{{Inflation|US|83000|1885|r=1}}}} in present-day terms). Like her namesake she replaced, the 1865 {{USRC|Commodore Perry|1865|6}}, she was assigned to Lake Erie for duty and her assigned cruising grounds were the entire lake. She was placed out of commission each winter at the close of the shipping season, typically in mid-November, and her crew released. She was placed back in commission at the start of the shipping season, typically during May of each year.[1] On 23 September 1893, Commodore Perry was ordered to New York to be fitted out for a cruise to the Pacific. She arrived at New York on 20 October 1893 where she carried out "temporary duty" in New York waters. After fitting out, she was ordered to sail to San Francisco, via the Straits of Magellan, on 7 December 1894.[1] Arriving in Callao, Peru, on 24 March 1895, the ship's captain met with the United States Ambassador to Peru, James McKenzie, to discuss providing additional protection during the Peruvian civil war. Officers and 25 men were detailed with arms and one rapid-fire gun to protect the legation until the situation calmed by 29 March, when they left port. She arrived at San Diego on 22 April 1895, for refueling,[2] and arrived at San Francisco three days later. She was then assigned to duty with the Bering Sea Patrol.[1] The Commodore Perry, originally designed for short operating distances of the Great Lakes, was ill-fitted for her new duty in the open sea. Vessels on duty in Alaskan waters required ample food storage room, enough to hold six months' stores and provisions, and enough coal-bunker space to cruise actively for at least two weeks. The Perry was designed to carry only 90 tons. Making room for more coal required stores and provisions to be stored on the deck. Most often, her cruising radius was limited to about 1,500 miles, insufficient to meet the duties demanded of her.[3] Spanish–American WarOn 9 April 1898 she was ordered to "cooperate" with the Navy during the Spanish–American War and was ordered to report to the commandant of the Puget Sound Naval Station. She was returned to Treasury Department control on 15 August 1898.[1] FateWhile conducting anti-poaching patrols on 27 July 1910, during dense fog, she ran aground off Tonki Point, St. Paul Island in the Pribilof Islands.[1] The ship began taking on water almost immediately. As there was no salvage capability in the Pribilof Islands at that time, the Bearing Sea fleet's commanding officer, Captain Daniel Patrick Foley, ordered her stripped and abandoned. At the time of the incident, there were about 50 officers and men aboard. All were saved and distributed amongst the other vessels in the fleet. Expected to go to pieces during the next major storm,[4] the wreck remained visible for the next few years and slowly deteriorated.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 {{cite web|title=Perry (Commodore Perry), 1884|url=https://www.uscg.mil/history/webcutters/Perry1884.pdf|website=U.S. Coast Guard History Program|publisher=U.S. Department of Homeland Security|accessdate=18 April 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Commodore Perry}}2. ^{{cite news|title=Aid from the Perry|url=http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn90059522/1895-04-23/ed-1/seq-1/|access-date=18 April 2017|work=St. Paul Daily Globe |date=23 April 1895|location=Saint Paul, Minnesota|page=1}} 3. ^{{cite journal|title=Construction of Four Revenue Cutters|journal=House Reports (Public)|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=A6UqAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA2-PA65|date=1912|volume=5|issue=6133|publisher=Government Printing Office|location=Washington, DC}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Cutter Perry Abandoned|url=http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1910-08-03/ed-1/seq-4/|accessdate=18 April 2017|work=New-York Tribune|date=3 August 1910|location=New York, NY|page=4}} 4 : 1884 ships|Ships of the United States Revenue Cutter Service|Steamships of the United States|Ships built in New York (state) |
