High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Oregon was a brig that served in the United States Navy from 1841 to 1845. Lieutenant Charles Wilkes purchased the American brig Thomas H. Perkins for U.S. Navy service in August 1841 at Astoria, Oregon. Wilkes, commanding the U.S. Exploring Expedition, purchased her to accommodate the officers and crew of USS Peacock, which had been wrecked on 18 July 1841. Renamed Oregon, the acquisition was taken to Fort Vancouver for alterations and fitting out for service with the expedition. Under the command of Lieutenant Overton Carr, Oregon sailed with the rest of the squadron on 1 October 1841 for San Francisco, California, then on to Honolulu, Hawaii. On 27 November 1841, Oregon and USS Porpoise were detached to explore the shoals and reefs extending west-northwest of the Hawaiian Islands, intending to rejoin the rest of the ships in Singapore. In need of general repairs, the two arrived there on 19 January 1842, almost a month before the others.
