S wuty 7 2 'Tfavtf After her commissioning on 27 November 1876 in Wilmington, Delaware, the U.S.S. RANGER proceeded to the Far East where she protected American merchant vessels as a unit of the Asiatic fleet and investigated the coolie traffic from China. Following an extensive overhaul in the Mare Island Navy yard in 1881, she began her career as a survey vessel and provided the Hydrographic Office with many of the original American charts of lower California, Mexico and Central America. The job of protecting American interests abroad kept her cruising between the Hawaiian Islands and Samoa from 1890 to 1892. The presence of fur seal poachers in the Bering Sea brought the U.S.S. RANGER from the sunny south to the Bering Sea, Alaskan waters and Puget Sound, where she protected the seals from poachers as well as protecting the settlers from marauding indians until 1895. She was then sent to Central America to protect American interests in that area. After an extensive overhaul in the Mare Island Navy yard, she returned to the area for more duty as a survey vessel, finishing these duties in 1903. The Bremerton Navy yard was her next berth for two years while she was being fitted out for the Far East. Leaving the Pacific Northwest for the last time, she cruised from the Hawaiian Islands to the Philippines by way of Guam, and finally circling the globe by going around the Cape of Good Hope on her way to Boston where she was turned over to the Massachusetts Maritime Academy on 26 April 1909. It was through the pioneering work of the U.S.S. RANGER and her sisterships, with the methods they developed for marine surveying, that we may safely navigate the oceans of the world today.
