Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Frigate Constitution: The Central Figure of the Navy Under Sail The history of the Frigate Constitution is undertaken in order to bring within the pages of one volume all the events which go to make a long and interesting career upon the sea. It is the outgrowth of a short article for the "Atlantic Monthly" to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the vessel´s launch. She has so long been a favorite topic for storytellers and writers that nothing new remains to be told. It is rather a case for recalling much that has been forgotten. As the formation and service of the sailing navy supply the background which brings our ship into stronger perspective, all the circumstances which had an influence upon her design, construction, and employment are given. While, therefore, in no sense a history of the Navy, it forms a reasonably connected narrative of naval events, and particularly of our good old frigate.
