The first USS Princeton was a screw steam warship of the United States Navy. Commanded by Captain Robert F. Stockton, Princeton was launched on September 5, 1843. On February 28, 1844, during a Potomac River pleasure cruise for dignitaries, one gun exploded, killing Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur and Secretary of the Navy Thomas Walker Gilmer, and injuring others, including a United States Senator and Captain Stockton. The disaster on board the Princeton killed more top U.S. government officials in a single day than any other tragedy in American history. President John Tyler, who was aboard but below decks, was not injured. The ship's reputation in the Navy never recovered.

  • La prima USS Princeton fu una nave da guerra della United States Navy con un'elica a vite azionata da un motore a vapore. Comandata dal capitano , la USS Princeton fu varata il 5 settembre 1843. La reputazione della nave nella Marina non si riprese mai da un incidente devastante all'inizio del suo servizio. Il 28 febbraio 1844, durante una crociera per dignitari sul fiume Potomac che includeva una dimostrazione dei suoi due cannoni pesanti, uno di essi esplose uccidendo sei persone, tra cui il Segretario di Stato Abel Parker Upshur, il Segretario della Marina Thomas Walker Gilmer e altri alti funzionari federali. Il Presidente John Tyler, che era a bordo ma sottocoperta, non fu ferito. (it)
