I like it, but there was a sail only warship that was in service only 70 years ago.

The USS Constellation, which was launched in 1854, commissioned in 1855, and remained in various active and training roles until it was decommissioned in 1955.

Of course the ship itself was a hundred years old by then. Pretty incredible.
