1896 Summer Olympics[edit]

Pierre de Coubertin writes in his book Souvenirs d’Amérique et de Grèce that the crew of the USS San Francisco attended to the opening ceremony of the first Olympics on April 12 1896. USS San Francisco was at the time in the Piraeus harbour. However the article says that the San Francisco went back to the US in March 1896. What is right ?

Tout en haut, massés sur les derniers gradins, des matelots se lèvent en agitant leurs bérets et en poussant de frénétiques hourrahs ; c’est l’équipage du croiseur fédéral San Francisco, en ce moment ancré dans le port du Pirée.
— Pierre de Coubertin, Souvenirs d’Amérique et de Grèce, Page 150
