Inaccurate career info
The ship was scrapped several years prior to 1789, when the US came into being. It is, as such, impossible for it to be a US vessel.
- The United States came into being in 1776 ("The Unamimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America," July 4 of that year). It was recognized by France in 1778, and Great Britain in 1783. You're thinking of the coming into force of the 1787 Constitution with the inauguration of George Washington as president. That didn't create the country; it only changed certain aspects of the government. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.111.4.51 (talk) 21:28, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
