USS Enterprise (1799 schooner)

The USS Enterprise was a sailing vessel from the planet Earth. She was the third American schooner named Enterprise, but the first to serve the United States Navy. She operated early in the 19th century.

History
Enterprise was in service for a quarter of a century. She was 85 feet long and was known as the "Lucky Little Enterprise." She saw action in an undeclared war with France and during the War of 1812. 

Enterprise was commanded by Stephen Decatur in the 19th century. The vessel fought pirates in Tripoli.

The original, hand-painted wooden figurehead from Enterprise, in the shape of a dolphin’s head, was aboard James T. Kirk's USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) in 2275.
