USS Harvard off Santiago, Cuba. The ship was named Harvard and was chartered and commissioned by the Navy on 26 APR 1898. Originally the ship was employed as a scout cruiser. When no longer needed as a scout in the Caribbean, Harvard was sent back to the United States. On 10 July 1898, she was temporarily turned over to the War Department, and returned to Santiago de Cuba to transport troops back to the United States. Harvard arrived back at New York 27 August and decommissioned 2 September 1898 at New York Navy Yard..
