Leipzig, Pfeil, and Schwalbe shelled Saadani on 6 June and sent men ashore to attack rebels there. Pfeil was the first steel-hulled, unrigged warship ever sent by Germany to its African colonies, though her steel hull rendered her unsuitable to long-term deployments to the tropics, and she was detached on 29 September to return home.

A check of vessels abandoned, wrecked or unrigged, numbered but not documented, in that register failed to show either the number or name. The number and name do appear in the Index of Managing Owners under the Saco River Towing Company, Biddeford, Maine, in that register and registers in subsequent years show different managing owners. Exactly why a vessel would remain in the registers only under managing owners into the 1960s while not otherwise being listed is not clear. On 15 April 1923 the steamer Annahuac ran onto Fortune's Rocks and was salvaged by tugs A. G. Prentiss, Cumberland and the revenue cutter Ossipee.

In mid-June, 1910, passengers arriving at Yaquina City for transport to Newport averaged over 50 daily, an unusually high number for that time of the year. Captain Jacobson, of the Newport, reported this to have been the heaviest June travel in his experience. Plans were being made for special railroad excursions for Independence Day celebrations in Newport. During peak travel times, generally during the summer vacation seasons, the passenger carrying capacity of Newport was augmented by lashing up alongside the steamer an unpowered barge, the Elk or the Julia. Elk, a scow with a cabin, was built in 1905 at Toledo, Oregon, was registered as an “unrigged vessel”, of 97 gross and 94 net tons, with the official merchant registry number 162693.

Battleship Riachuelo circa 1907 When the Republic of Brazil was declared in 1889, Riachuelo escorted the Brazilian Imperial Family to exile in Europe. Riachuelo and Aquidabã, the two most powerful vessels in the Brazilian Navy, were both in dock for repairs in 1891 during the first Revolta da Armada (mutiny of the Brazilian Navy), led by Custódio José de Mello, which eventually forced the dictatorial President, Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca, to resign in favour of Marshal Floriano Peixoto. Riachuelo was modernised and rearmed in Toulon in 1893–94, where structural alterations included the replacement of the three rigged masts with two unrigged fighting masts. Riachuelo returned to active service in 1896, and led the so-called "White Squadron" of President Campos Sales on his official visit to Argentina in 1900, accompanied by the cruisers and .

William Camden (1551–1623) described Chatham dockyard as > ...stored for the finest fleet the sun ever beheld, and ready at a minute’s > warning, built lately by our most gracious sovereign Elizabeth at great > expense for the security of her subjects and the terror of her enemies, with > a fort on the shore for its defence.Brayley and Britton, p. 667 Daniel Defoe, visiting the yard in 1705, also spoke of its achievements with an almost incredulous enthusiasm: > So great is the order and application there, that a first-rate vessel of war > of 106 guns, ordered to be commissioned by Sir Cloudesley Shovell, was ready > in three days. At the time the order was given the vessel was entirely > unrigged; yet the masts were raised, sails bent, anchors and cables on > board, in that time.
