The fifth '''USS ''Boston''''' was a [[protected cruiser]] and one of the first steel warships of the "New Navy" of the 1880s. In some references she is combined with {{USS|Atlanta|1884|2}} as the ''Atlanta'' class, in others as the ''Boston'' class.

''Boston'' was laid down on 15 November 1883 by [[Delaware River Iron Ship Building and Engine Works]], [[Chester, Pennsylvania]], [[Ship naming and launching|launched]] on 4 December 1884, and [[ship commissioning|commissioned]] on 2 May 1887 at the [[New York Navy Yard]], Captain [[Francis Munroe Ramsay|Francis M. Ramsay]] in command.<ref name=DANFS1>{{cite DANFS |url= http://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/ship-histories/danfs/b/boston-v.html |title= Boston V (Protected Cruiser) |date= 26 June 2015 |access-date= 19 January 2016 }}</ref>

==Design and construction==
''Boston'' was ordered as part of the "ABCD" ships, the others being the cruisers {{USS|Atlanta|1884|2}} and {{USS|Chicago|1885|2}} and the [[dispatch vessel]] {{USS|Dolphin|1884|2}}. All were ordered from the same shipyard, [[John Roach & Sons]] of [[Chester, Pennsylvania]]. However, when [[Secretary of the Navy]] [[William Collins Whitney|William C. Whitney]] initially refused to accept ''Dolphin'', claiming her design was defective, the Roach yard went bankrupt and ''Boston'' was completed at the New York Navy Yard, which had little experience with steel-hulled ships.<ref name=FriedmanC>Friedman, pp. 18-22, 457</ref>

As-built armament included two [[8"/30 caliber gun|{{convert|8|in|adj=on|0}}/30]] caliber Mark 1 guns,<ref>[http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_8-30_mk1.htm DiGiulian, Tony, US 8"/30 guns at Navweaps.com]</ref> six [[6"/30 caliber gun|{{convert|6|in|adj=on|0}}/30]] caliber Mark 2 guns,<ref>[http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_6-30_mk1.htm DiGiulian, Tony, US 6"/30 and 6"/35 guns at Navweaps.com]</ref> two [[QF 6-pounder Hotchkiss#American service|6-pounder]] ({{convert|57|mm|in|2|abbr=on}}) guns, two [[QF 3-pounder Hotchkiss#US service|3-pounder]] ({{convert|47|mm|in|2|abbr=on}}) [[Hotchkiss revolving cannon]], two [[Hotchkiss gun|1-pounder]] ({{convert|37|mm|in|2|abbr=on}}) Hotchkiss revolving cannon, and two [[.45-70|.45 caliber]] (11.4 mm) [[Gatling gun]]s.<ref name=FriedmanC/> The 8-inch guns were initially in open [[barbette]]s with gun shields added later.<ref name=Conways1>Gardiner and Chesneau, p. 150</ref>

Armor protection was light, with 2-inch (50.8 mm) [[gun shield]]s and [[conning tower]], and a 1.5-inch (38.1 mm) deck extending {{convert|100|feet}} over the machinery spaces.<ref name=Register>Bauer and Roberts, p. 141</ref>

The engineering plant included eight coal-fired cylindrical [[boiler]]s producing {{convert|100|psi|lk=on|abbr=on}} steam and a horizontal [[compound engine]] producing {{convert|3500|ihp|kW|lk=on|abbr=on}} driving one shaft.<ref name=FriedmanC/><ref name=Conways1/><ref name=Register/> Like the other "ABCD" ships, ''Boston'' was built with a sail rig to increase cruising range, later removed. The ship carried up to 490 tons of coal, with a cruising range as built of {{convert|3390|nmi|lk=on|abbr=on}} at {{convert|10|kn|abbr=on}}.<ref name=FriedmanC/><ref name=Gibbons>Gibbons, pp. 232</ref>

===Refits===
In 1900–01 ''Boston'' was rebuilt and the 6-inch guns were converted to [[quick-firing gun|rapid firing]] with brass case ammunition replacing powder bags. During her service with the [[Oregon Naval Militia]] 1911-16 she retained her original pair of 8"/30 guns and three of the 6"/30 guns, with a single [[4"/40 caliber gun|{{convert|4|in|adj=on|0}}/40]] caliber gun added.<ref name=FriedmanC/><ref>[http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_4-40_mk1.htm DiGiulian, Tony, US 4"/40 guns at Navweaps.com]</ref> All armament was removed prior to her conversion to a freighter in 1917.<ref name=Register/>

==Service history==

''Boston'', being the second cruiser of the New Navy completed, was not ready for active service until 1888. She then made a cruise to [[Guatemala]] and [[Haiti]] to protect American citizens.<ref name="Buffalo Courier 1888">{{cite news |title=Probably a mistake |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/?spot=23034679 |access-date=22 August 2018 |agency=Buffalo Courier (Buffalo, New York) |date=21 November 1888 |page=2 |quote=The Navy department has no information of the reported surrender to the commander of the United States steamship ''Boston'' of the steamer ''Haytian Republic'' by the authorities of Hayti. The only report received from Capt. Ramsey (and this was received by mail), stated that the Haytian officials had released the American schooner ''William Jones'', which had been seized on suspicion of engaging in filibustering after an investigation which established her innocence.}}</ref> She joined the [[Squadron of Evolution]] on 30 September 1889 and cruised to the [[Mediterranean]] and [[South America]] from 7 December 1889 to 29 July 1890, and along the east coast in 1891. ''Boston'' departed [[New York City|New York]] on 24 October 1891 for the [[Pacific]] via [[Cape Horn]], arriving at [[San Francisco]] on 2 May 1892. Except for a prospective [[Pacific Squadron]] commanding officer's cruise to the [[Hawaiian Islands]] from 11 August 1892 to 10 October 1893 (in which she provided a shore party in January 1893 that bolstered the [[overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii|overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy]]), she remained on the [[United States West Coast|West Coast]] until laid up at [[Mare Island Navy Yard]] on 4 November 1893.<ref name=DANFS1/>

[[File:USS Boston, port stern view during speed trials (25757287950).jpg|left|thumb|''Boston'' during speed trials]]
Recommissioned on 15 November 1895, ''Boston'' joined the [[Asiatic Squadron]] at [[Yokohama]], [[Japan]] on 25 February 1896. She remained in East Asia protecting American interests for the next four years and during the [[Spanish–American War]] took part in the [[Battle of Manila Bay]] on 1 May 1898 and the capture of [[Manila]] on 13 August 1898. From 4 October to 23 December, ''Boston'' and other ships deployed to Taku in [[China]] to protect American interests in the wake of a ''[[coup d'etat]]'' by the [[Empress Dowager Cixi]]. Following this, ''Boston'' remained in the [[Philippines]] assisting in [[Philippine–American War|their pacification]] until 8 June 1899.<ref name=DANFS1 /> Sometime during this overseas deployment, ''Boston''{{'}}s distinctive sail rig was removed. This is evidence by a photograph taken in 1899 of ''Boston'' in the Philippines with pole masts but no cross rigging.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://navsource.org/archives/04/boston/boston.htm|title = Cruiser Photo Index Protected Cruiser/IX-2 USS BOSTON/DESPATCH - Navsource - Photographic History of the U.S. Navy}}</ref>

''Boston'' returned to San Francisco on 9 August 1899 and went out of commission at Mare Island Navy Yard on 15 September 1899. She remained out of commission until 11 August 1902 and then rejoined the Pacific Squadron. On 7 November 1903, ''Boston'' was the first ship of the Pacific Squadron to arrive near [[Panama]] to support that country's [[separation of Panama from Colombia|newly declared independence]]; a key event in the creation of the [[Panama Canal]]. She then cruised in South America, Hawaii, and the US West Coast. From 16 to 25 June 1905, she helped represent the Navy at the [[Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition]] at [[Portland, Oregon]], and from 23 April – 10 May 1906 she helped care for the victims of the [[1906 San Francisco earthquake|San Francisco earthquake]] and fire. In April 1907 she carried a Honduran peace delegation that ended the [[Honduras|Honduran]]–[[Nicaragua]]n War. She went out of commission again at [[Puget Sound Navy Yard]] on 10 June 1907. From 15 June 1911 to September 1916, she served as a training vessel with the Oregon Naval Militia.<ref name=DANFS1 />

With the United States declaration of war on Germany in April 1917, ''Boston'' was loaned to the [[United States Shipping Board]] from 24 May 1917 – June 1918. ''Boston'' was converted to a freighter by [[Seattle Construction and Drydock Company|Seattle Construction & Drydock]] in 1917–1918. Her guns were most likely removed when she was laid up at [[Bremerton Navy Yard|Bremerton]] between September 1916 and March 1917. On 18 June 1918, she was recommissioned at Mare Island Navy Yard as a [[receiving ship]] and towed to [[Yerba Buena Island]], [[California]], where she served as a receiving ship until 1940. She was renamed '''''Despatch''''', the sixth U.S. Navy ship to bear that name, on 9 August 1940, thus freeing her original name for use on the new [[heavy cruiser]] {{USS|Boston|CA-69|3}}.  From 1940 to October 1945, she was used as a radio school. The old ship was redesignated '''IX-2''' on 17 February 1941. ''Despatch'' was towed to sea and sunk off San Francisco on 7 April 1946.<ref name=DANFS1/>

==Legacy==
[[File:Guns from USS Boston in Hamlin Park, Shoreline, WA 01 (cropped).jpg|thumb|The two 8-Inch, 30-Caliber guns, mounted in [[Hamlin Park]], 2020.]]

Both of ''Boston''{{'}}s 8-inch (203-mm) guns were placed at the new Seattle Naval Hospital in 1942. After the hospital closed, the guns went with the site to the new Firlands Sanitarium owned by King County in 1947. At some point after 1952, the guns were moved to Hamlin Park, in [[Shoreline, Washington]].<ref>[http://www.navsource.org/archives/04/boston/boston.htm Photos of ''Boston''{{'}}s guns at NavSource.org]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://thesunbreak.com/2013/06/08/7-odd-things-to-see-in-seattle-parks-north-end-edition/ |title=Photos of ''Boston''{{'}}s guns at The SunBreak.com |access-date=20 January 2016 |archive-date=12 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151112205255/http://thesunbreak.com/2013/06/08/7-odd-things-to-see-in-seattle-parks-north-end-edition/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> However, county records do not indicate when the guns were placed in the park or why it was done.<ref>[http://www.seattlepi.com/archives/1986/8601190046.asp Seattle Post-Intelligencer Archives (dead link 2015-05-12)]</ref> Of the two guns displayed at Hamlin Park, the easternmost gun bears a plaque which states that the gun fired the first shot of the Battle of Manila Bay.  The other bears a plaque crediting the gun with the dismounting of three guns at the Spanish fort of Cavite.
