	The USS Preble presently lies on the bottom of Pensacola Bay, about twenty five feet below the surface of the water
		The Preble’s career shows that she was called on to perform a wide variety of duties and provided for the US Navy a ship that was relied upon time and again without fail.
		The only records that have been located of the Preble that pertain to her stations from 1840 to 1845 are general, and indicate that she sailed from Labrador after commissioning, and in 1843 cruised in the Mediterranean for a year and a half (Washington Press 1970).
		The design of the Preble represents a unique class of sloops that were the last of their kind in the history of US Naval war vessels -- she was built as one of the last class of sailing vessels before the dominance of steam powered vessels replaced the use of sail.
