Part of Perry Expedition to open Japan to the west.
Served on the USS Vincennes/SC US Navy
Died in Okinawa (Lew Chew) Japan, Buried at the International Cemetery, Tomari Port, Naha Japan,
Home Squadron service in the Caribbean area occupied Vincennes until mid-1844. Nearly a year later she left the East Coast for another trip, this time eastbound, to Asian waters. In July 1846, in company with the ship-of-the-line Columbus, she attempted to pay a diplomatic call on Japan, but the effort was rebuffed by Japanese authorities. After further duty on the China Station, Vincennes came back to New York in April 1847. Her next cruise, beginning in late 1849, took her back to the Pacific for operations along the west coasts of South and North America and a visit to Hawaii. Repaired at New York between September 1852 and March 1853, soon thereafter the sloop began another three years of exploration work, this time involving surveys in the western and northern Pacific.
