What is the name of the ship in the Sherlock Holmes story 'The Five Orange Pips'?

The ship in Sherlock Holmes’s “The Five Orange Pips” is the Lone Star.

The Lone Star is a barque bound for Savannah, Georgia, and commanded by Captain James Calhoun. Holmes identifies it while tracing the movements of vessels connected with the Ku Klux Klan, whose members have been sending five orange pips as a death threat to the Openshaw family.

Holmes studies Lloyd’s registers and old newspapers to follow ships that visited Pondicherry in 1883. The vessel’s name attracts his attention because “Lone Star” is associated with Texas, suggesting an American connection. He ultimately sends five orange pips to Captain Calhoun, adding the initials “S.H. for J.O.” to signal that he has understood the threat and intends to pursue the perpetrators.

The story’s ending is deliberately bleak. Holmes and Watson wait for news of the Lone Star, but instead hear that wreckage bearing the initials “L.S.” was seen in the Atlantic. The ship therefore becomes part of the story’s unresolved fate rather than a setting for an adventure. Gloria Scott is also a ship in the Holmes canon, but it belongs to a different story.
