USS Preble (1813)

USS "Preble" (1813), sometimes called "Commodore Preble", was the first ship of the United States Navy named for Commodore Edward Preble. A sloop purchased on Lake Champlain in 1813, she was commissioned 6 August 1813, Lt. Charles Budd in command. Operating with Commodore MacDonough's squadron, she participated in the Battle of Lake Champlain, 11 September, which gave control of that lake to the Americans and forced General Prevost to retire back to Canada. Laid up after the battle, "Preble" was sold at Whitehall, New York, in July 1815.
