The first USS Columbia of the United States Navy to be commissioned was a three-masted, wooden-hulled sailing frigate , built at the Washington Navy Yard and carrying 54 guns[1] Columbia burning of Washington in 1814 whilst it was still under construction).[2] keel was laid in 1825, but as was typical of much Navy construction during this period, she was not launched until much later, on 9 March 1836.[1]
On her first cruise, from May 1838 – June 1840 with Lieutenant George A. Magruder in command, Columbia rounded the Cape of Good Hope to become flagship of Commodore George C. Read in the East India Squadron . She returned to the United States by way of Cape Horn , becoming one of the first U.S. naval ships to circumnavigate the globe.[1] Second Sumatran Expedition in response to a Maylay attack on an American merchant vessel.
Columbia served as flagship of the Home Squadron from January–May 1842; cruised on Brazil Squadron from July 1842 – February 1844 and in the Mediterranean Squadron from May–December 1844. She returned to the Brazil Squadron as flagship from November 1845 – October 1847, and was placed in ordinary at Norfolk Navy Yard upon her return home. Except for a cruise as flagship of the Home Squadron from January 1853 – March 1855, she remained at Norfolk until the outbreak of the American Civil War .[1] Columbia was scuttled and burned by Union forces to avoid her capture by Confederates upon the surrender of Norfolk Navy Yard on 21 April 1861.[3] [1]
