INTRODUCTION.

The information and data contained in the following tables have been extracted, collated, andj arranged with much care, and are derived from a variety of sources.

Among those most worthy of mention are, the files of the State and Navy Departments-theAmerican Archives and State Papers-Clark's, Goldsborough's, and Cooper's Naval Histories, andNiles's Register.

1 have not, however, confined myself to these, but have also examined and compared otherAmerican and English Histories, and contemporaneous published accounts ; besides, in a fewv in-stances, have sought information from those still living.

Among the latter I feel most indebted to Commodore Charles Stewvart, Commodore CharlesF Morris, Chief Naval Constructor 3. Lenthall, Consulting Engineer C. WV. Copeland, and Peter

Force, Esq., of Washington, D. C., each in their respective departments. To each and all ofwhomn, and to any others, who have contributed in any way to afford me information or facilities, Inowv return my sincere thanks.

{ This compilation was originally intended to embrace only the Navy proper, but to make it morecomplete and satisfactory as a work of reference, a List of all the Private armed Vessels, fitted outin the United States, from the earliest period, with their armament, captains, captures, &c., &c.,was subsequently added. Some of these were fitted out by private individuals, or companies, andothers by States; and many, it will be seen, were commanded by officers who afterwvards held com-missions in our Navy.

For similar reasons I have added tables embracing the principal Ocean Steamers of the Unitedi States, including those carrying the U. S. mail, which, under certain contingencies, may become a

portion of the Navy of the United States, Also a list of the Revenue and Coast Survey vessels in1850, which have since undergone but little change,

' Reported to have been armed with 3 long 12 pounders each, and a complement of 35 men, when captured.

At the conclusion of the war this Squadron, with the exception of two small vessels, and their prizes, (see prize list,) were disman--

tded and laid up at Erie, and all subsequently condemned, and sold ; some having been sunk, with a view to their- better preservation.

Note. Independent of the foregoing list of vessels, there has been employed in the service for brief periods, and at different times, seve-

ral small Steamers and Sailing craft, which have usually been hired or chartered for Special Service, and for the time placed in charge ofOfficers of the Navy, who have performed valuable service that does not always appear upon the annual Rlegister that is published ; amongthese, I will only mention the Brigs Advance and Rescue, that were .loaned to the Government by the Hon: Henry Grinnell, of New York,officered and manned by the Government, and despatched to the Arctic seas, from New York, in search of Sir Jbhn Franklin, on the.26th

of May, 1850, under the command of Lt. J. De Haven, U. S. N., returning to the same port, in Sept. anid Oct. of the following year.

While in command of Lieuts. Sidney Smith and J. Loomis. By the flotilla of the enemy, aided by a detachment on shore. Received araking shot, which sunk her in a few minutes. She was afterwards raised, and with her consort, 3 gun boats, and some batteaux,under Capt. T. Everard, R. N., entered Plattsburg Bay, mind destroyed the Arsenal, &c. Finally, became a part of the Englishsquadron, that was subsequently captured by Commo. Macdonough, under the names of the 1"Chtub "and " Finch."

This Squadron was principally constructed of green timber, at the head of navigation on Otter creek, and, like most of the Lake vessels,hastily put together. As an evidence of this, it is only necessary to say that the timber of which the Saratoga was built, was standingin the forest, forty days previous to her being launched. After the war, this squadron and its prizes were dismantled and laid up atWhitehall, where they were subsequently pronounced unworthy of repair, and sold at public sale. The Galley "tAllen," was incommission several years after the war.

Among the first Gun Boats employed in the Navy, were the six that were loaned to our squadron under Commodore Preble, by the

Neapolitan Government, to operate against Tripoli in 1804. These were 25 tons burthen, and each armed with a long 24 pounder. Add to

these two Bomb vessels of 30 tons, carrying each a 13 inch mortar, also borrowed from the Neapolitans ; and 3 Gun Boats, carrying each

2 brass Howitzers and a copper gun 112 feet long, that carried a ball weighing 29 lbs., subsequently captured fr om l the Torpeolias and it

will make 9 of the latter, or 11 of both, that were employed by our Navy daring this war. The first Gu ot ul o h ay, wr

transit across the Atlantic. Subsequently, this species of force was strongly recommended by President Jefferson for coast and harbor de-

fence ; and in 1807, he recommended there should be 200 built f'or this purpose. To this number, were added 57 in the recommendation of

the Secretary of the Navy, (Robert Smith,) in his report of the same year, who estimated their. average cost in building at $5,000; and, when

armed and equipped, at $11,000 each.

tector, Gov. Williams, Gov. Davie, and the Mars."

In 1814 there were 32 equipped, besides 59 building, in the different ports of the U. S. Many of these were employed on the Lakes;

and, at the conclusion of our war with Great Britain, were, like the GSun fBoats, generally disposed of at public salte. In fe 1817, Capt.R. T.

*1Was driven high and dry in a corn field on White Marsh Island. Was subsequently gotten off, and cruised on the S. coast, under Lts.M~agrath, Murdoch, Fanning, and Biddle.

) Went down in a severe gale; only two of her crew saved. Was in the Mediterranean in 1805 and '6, under Lt. R. Izard.* Where her comd'r died. Returned to Charleston in July, 1806, where the others, similarly employed, returned, and were generally laid up.

r/. This small squadron, while at anchor under the command of Lt. Jones, was attacked by 42 Launches and 3 Gigs of the enemy, underCapts. N. Lockyer, Montressor and Roberts, R. N., and finally carried by boarding, after a most obstinate and gallant resistance of onehour and twenty minutes, during which the Americans lost about 100 in killed and wounded, including among the latter, their con-manding officer; and the enemy, whose force was estimated at 42 guns and 1200 men, in their official account acknowledge 17 killed,and 77 wounded.' Nos. 5 and 23 did not surrender, until several of the enemy's boats had been sunk, and the fire of some of the cap-tured Gun boats had been turned upon them.

Sailed from the U. S. for the Mediterranean; sprung her mast; returned to New York to refit; sailed again June 20th, and was never af-terwards heard from.

Blown up by a hot shot from the enemy's fort, killing her comd'r, Mid'n Dorsey, and 8 men. By some accounts this was Gun boat No. 9.*j Capsized bya squall, and sunk with 6 of her crew. Was subsequently raised, and one of the last retained in the service at N. Y., 1828.

Condemned, and Nos. 14, 16, 17, 20, and 21, reported unfit for service on that station, having been built of green timber.*Wrecked ; the commander and 9 of his crew lost.

Burnt, to prevent falling into the hands of the enemy. Was called the "Scorpion," and had been rebuilt in 1812, at Washington.Sunk in agale; had previously been condemned.

*Employed as a Tender, and unworthy of much repair.

t Dismantled and laid up; hulls reported sound; were in service as late as 1825. No. 72 not coppered.

Employed as a Tender.Captured by 8 boats from the English squadron, armed with 3 guns, and 150 men ; after at sharp resistance, and the loss of 7 wounded, andi

the oily gun disabled. The enemy lost 7 killed, and 12 wounded.Blew up by accident, killing 9 persons.Laid up, and much worm eaten.

* Struck by lightning, blew up, and all on board, but 3, perished.Hull, spars, and sails, reported in good condition. In July 26th, 1816, fired the shot that blewv up Fort Appalachicola, killing about one

j _ hundred of its inmates, who were principally Spaniards, Indians, and Negroes.Hull, spars, and sails, reported in good condition.Lost in a gale, with all on board. No armament on board.Captured by a sloop and 10 barges, under a Lieut., after it resistance of 20 minutes, and loss of 1 killed, and 3 wounded. The enemy's

loss, about 20 killed and wounded.Upset and sunk in a squall, all hands saved.it " << 19 hands drowned.Sold for $1,825, having been sunk in Port Royal Sound the year previous, by a squall, tinder the nante of the schooner Alligator.While carrying despatches, was fired into and detained by the Erebus 20, Capt. Bartholomew, but subsequently released. Was also com-

manded by Lieuts. McCall, J. Paine, &c., and was in service as late as 1823.

fetOut of the above number, there appears to have been 172 built up to 1809. These were of various dimensions, varying from 40 to 60ifein length, and from 50 to 100 tons, burthen ; usually sloop or schooner rigged; and armed with from i to 5 guns, and manned with from

20 to 50 men. The larger, frequently carrying 2 long 32 pounders, and several howitzers or swvivels ; and the smaller, one long 18 or 24pounder pivot gun.

There were doubtless some others, not mentioned in the foregoing list, that were destroyed by their own officers to prevent falling intothe hands of the enemy during the last war with Great Britain. Two or three more were lost on the Southern Coast, with more or less oftheir crews; while others, from the indifferent timber of which they were constructed, must have gone to decay ; for, as early as 1809, twowere reported as unworthy of repair. The greater number, however, remaining in service at the conclusion of the war with Great Britain,were disposed of at public sale. By the records of the Navy Department, I see that 40 were sold at New York, in 1815, for from $220 to$690 each.

SURF BOATS,To the number of 150, were ordered to be built in several of the Northern Ports of the U. S., principally for the use of our Army in landingat Vera Cruz and elsewhere. Only about 130 of these were delivered early in 1847. For the convenience of transportation to the Gulf,in ships, they were built of 3 sizes, so as to stow in nests.

The largest were 40 feet long by 12 feet beam, and 4 feet 4r inches depth, exclusive of the keel.2d size 37:9 " "11 " 4 " " '

3d "35.9" ' 10.2'' 3'' 9 iBoth ends were sharp alike; and the weight of the three, or one set, was 15,999 pounds.Their estimated cost was to average about $450 each, but owing to the unfavorable time in which they were built, (during tue month of

January, and 30 days only having been given to deliver them finished to the Government,) they considerably excceeded this sum, and fell,but little short of $600 each.

The object for which these were built, rendered them of but little service to the Navy after the Army had obtained a footing in Mexico;and am they were unsuited for the ordinary duties of our men of war, they were necessarily left more exposed to the Northers ; so but fewever returned to the U. S.

Notie.-The system of rating our ships-originally copied from the English-is calculated to mislead, inasmuch as some vessels arerated the same number of guns that they carry, while others carry from 4 to 12 guns more than their rate.; and it is notunfrequently thecase that the battery undergoes a change, white the rating remains the same. For this reason, 1 have added to the race of each ease inthe foregoing table, of the NJavy still in existence, the actual number of guns carried, with their calibre, Vic:

NOTES.

Fulton the 1st, was intended more for harbor defence than for a sea going vessel, for which she proved ill adapted on account oflher heavyhull, battery, and machinery, and her want of speed anti biuoyancy. She was built upon two bulls, between which her wheel re-volved, like some of the present New York Ferry boats. H-er outer bulwarks were shot lproof being 5 feet thick, of solid timber,and .she was originally intended to annoy the enemy with hot water, as well as shot. With a battery of 26 heavy guns, her maxi-mum draft was about 11 feet, and her speed 5 miles per hour, under steam alone.

Fulton 2d and 3d, also wanting in those buoyant qualities that 'render a vesel comfortable at sea, as well as a safe sa boat; for this,rea-son, it was found necessary to reduce their batteries to 2 guns. No. 2 had also 4 large chimneys, that very much impeded her head-way in heavy head winds. The hull, common to both, is of live oak; the boilers, as. well as the machinery of the last, are nearly allnew, and have thus far proved highly efficient, making better speed than any of the sea steamers.

The Missouri, (a twin vessel to the Mississippi,) built in New York in 1841, and burnt. at Gibraltar in 1843, was .also bark rigged, andspread 19,000 square feet of canvass. Her machinery wan designed by Engineer C. W. Copeland, and constructed-,a& -the WestPoint foundry. An experiment made by Engineer G. L. Thompson to turn her smoke into the w celhouses, proved a failure.

Water Witch No. 3, having wornt out her old boilers, they were replaced by the ".Dundonald" or "Montgomery" Patent Tubular boiler.,which, after a variety of alterations, proved failures, and were condemned by a, board of Engineers.

Water Witch No. 4, has the old engines of No. 3, with Lamb and Sumnmern~p patent boilers and feathering wheel., both weighing 22 tons;and, front an experimental trip, premises good speed.

Home squadron and Brazil in 1852, Ctapt. J. C. Long; carriedlout the Brazilian Minister. Her frame is of live oak, andher performance thus fir is very creditable. Spreads 1I;,501)sqr. feet of canvass. Returned to Pensacola from Rio, F~eb.8, 1853, and on her passage round to Norfolk, struck on ashoal oll'Savannah.*

Sister vessel to the Susquehanna. Left Norfolk for New York,Sept. 15, 1852, and the latter for Ha~vana, Oct. 1II, underCapt. Win. Mervine, as the flag ship of Comnmo. 3. TV. New-ton, returning to Norfolk on the 26 of Nov. following, witha cracked shaft, and sailed again Feb. 13, 1853, under Capt.W. J. McCluney, to join the Japan sq~uadron.Built on the same model as the Saranac, with a dilrerent motive

power to test the relative merits of the hide wheel, and pro-peller. On her trial trip from New York to Norfolk, inJanuary,.1852, encountered severe weather, which disabledone of her engines. March 3d, sailed on her 1st cruise tothe Mediterranean, under Capt. T. Crabbe, rand returned toPhiladelphia in Jutly, 1853, requiring many repairs andi alter-ations in her mtachintery.

Hlas her p~ropeller fitted so as to unshtip rand trice uip by machi-nary, when not required; her topmiasts are fitted abaft herlower masts, and top gallant masts atbaft the topmast. Shespreads 3833 yards of canvass, anid has been employed prin-cipally as a Transport, on the Coast of California, under Lt.S. Knox and others. Returned to Norfolk, under Lt. 3. C.Carter, March 15, 1853.

Built for a Tank and Tug boat. Employed as a Practice vesselfor the midshipmen at Annapolis in 1851, under Lt. 'V. TV.Craven. Subsequently sent to the West Inidica under Lt. ..W. Livingston, and has since ,been lengthened and refittedfor the Japan expedition, under Lt. J. Rodgers.

The 1st. Propeller built for the U. S. Navy, under the auspicesof Captain R. F. Stockton, IT. S. N., who subsequentlycommanded her. See previous table o1' vessels no longer inthe service.

Performed remarkably well under steam or canvass, but pitchedheavily ins a head sea.

Madte a trial trip in Nov. 1852, under Comidr S. S. Lee, whenliar boilers proved a failure, and, after undergoing several al-terations in Norfolk, has since made a trial trip to Port's,under Comdr Eagle, with but little better stuccess; after nin-dergoing further alterations hare, departed July 24, 1853, forthe fishing banks as the flagship of Commo. W. Ia. Shubrick.Of the above steamers the Michigan, Water Witch, Nos. 1,2, and 3, and the Alleghany are Iroin, and all have low preniess- riia nin aerWth adJhHlancoc had non-condensing engines.

NOTES.Alleghany No. 2. Old iron hull, with new machinery and boilers, the latter of Lamb & Summers's patent, are now being modified, owingtooa failure of similar boilers on board of the Princeton. Pirsson's patent condenser is to be used.Vixen. Like the Water Witch, has undergone frequent alterations and repairs, principally in machinery. The Montgomery boilers, thatwere substituted in place of the old one. by Engineer Haswell in 1850, foiled, and Lamb & Summers's boilers now Supply theirp lace. Makes poor headway under sail alone.Susquehanna. Spreads 21,230 square feet of canvas, and under sail alone, with paddles removed, with a faqir andi moderate wind, and adraft of 181} feet, averaged 7.323 knots per hour, for 3 consecutive days. And with the same draft, under all sail, wind ftair at mod-erate sea, and with only steam'enough to turn the wheels, averaged 8.234 knots for 20 consecutive days. During this time tae aver-age pressure of steam was about.7 pounds, and consumption of Bituminous coal about 19 tons per 24 hours.San Jscinto. The original p ropeller, designed for this vessel by Engineer Haswell, was rejected by a board of engineers consisting gofMessrs. Williamson, Sewell,and Hunt, and one of less weight, (4 blades instead of G,) adopted. The engines were also reportedunfavorably of. Under sail talon has averaged 7 knots per hour for several days, dragting her propeller.John Hancock.: Cut in two, and lengtened S8afeet;, using the old enines, with a new propeller weighiung 3000 pounds, designed by EngineerIsherwood, and boilers by Engineer 0. Martin, with Pireson's patent condenser.Princeton lsaL Was built of white oakh, shp riged, and spread 14,413 square feet, of canvass.' Her 1st propeller weighed 1000pounds; Oid do. 15,970 pounds, and wit thelItershe obtained about 12 per cent. increase of speed. Had a single Telescopic smokestack that could be housed below the bulwarks.Piceton i3. Built of live oak, ship rigged; some. of t old spars used, and new boilers have been fitted.

No~t.-The table of Nominal Horse Power is estimated upon Mr. Watt'es rule, given in Bourne's Treatise on the Steams Engine ; and

in ost every instance, falls far short of the actual power that the engines work up to, say from 1-3d, to 6.10th.

Noe.-The crews of the Liverpool and New York, or Collins's line of Steamers, average about 130 each. Their Hull weigh about

1,380 tons; and, at mean draught, displace about 3,724 tons each. By a comparison of the above data, with the messb u cwu of

the Arctic, in twelve voyages across the Atlantic, osieahway, as per article in the Franklin Institute Journal, byEin eer B.

F. Isherwood, U. S. N., it appears, that the average hourly consumption of (A.) coal was 7,978 lb.., or 85j tospr2 ours; and the

average pressure of steam 15.85, cutting off at 4.4, number of revolutions 14,028, developing 2,290 horses power, and making a

The voyage frontNow York to Liverpool requiring, on an average, 7,738 less revolutions, and 31J. tons less of coal than in coming from Liverpool toNew York ; while the consumption of coal in the Easterly passage is actually. greater, by 2211. lbs. per hour, than in thc Wcstcraa. A dif-ference that is no doubt owing to the action of the Gulf Stream, and the prevailing westerly wrids.The crews of the Chagres and New York (Georgia) line of Steamers, average about 112 cacha.The crews of the N.

The first vessel of war taken in this coaltest. Wsatthis time in search of the U1. S. S. Hornet. r ,ewoverboard her Guns, and sent her to St. Johnswtprisoners, under Lieut. WVihnier. '

Was completely disinasted, and !,nrnt at sea. Was call-tured from the French, in 1806(,'vy the Blanche Frigate,after an action of 45 minutes. She then mounted 50Gunds, with a complement of 317 men ; her loss, onl thatoccasion, being 20 killed, and 30 wounded. f

Was dismasted; and both vessels were capttired theCame day, by the Poictiers, 74, Capt. Bereslord, and.carried into L.ermuda.

A new Ship, and fist sailer. Mizenl mast, fore and maintop mast shot away, and 100 round shot in the Dull.Carried to New York, through Long.lslandc Sound, byLieut. Win. 11. Allen, accompanied by the U. States.

Was formerly the French Prigate "t.Thnomin e."' Cap-tured off !Madagascar, May 14, 1811, by the BritishFrigate Plitchbe, 36, after an action of several Lours,killed; whnc the former sustained a loss of 93, in

kildadwounded, out of a crew of 470, including,among the former, her gallant Captain, M. Roquebert.Slic weas completely dismasted in this enlgagelnent, andwas soon after blown up. Her comlmandnr was amongthose mortally wounded, and survived a few days. Wasbound to Bombay, with Lt. Gen'l 1Iisiop, and stan;, aspassengers, and several supernumeraries.

Sunk in 5~ fathoms water, carrying :downr 9 of her crew,and 3 of the 1-lornlet's, who were employed removingthe wounded. Four of her men escaped in hae sterniboat. Capt. Peake was among thle killed.

Both commanders killed early ini the action. The E. hadhut 1 18-pdr. shot in her hull ; the 13. had 18 do., andseveral of her gunis dismounted. Hers Coloirs were nailedto the mast. Lieut. E. Rt. McCall carried the prize intoPortland.

2 long 24's, 1 do. 18, 6 do. 12's, 8 9's, .. 24-1pdr. car., antd.1 I8-pdr". car. Total', 19 Guns.

All, but the Flunter, carrying a pivot Gutn. While, inthe American) squadron, all thme Gunls, excepting taosein the Lawrence and Niagara, were pivot Guns, andlthe vessels carrying them were without, bulwarks.

One Gun, onl board of the Ariel, burst early itn the action,and the carronade on board otf the Chlcdlonia turned asomnerset down the hatchway.

The American squadron had the weather gage ; and, tfleawind being light, the Lawrence, which led, sufferedseverely from thme enemy's fire before she closed, suf-ficiently to use her carronades ; and after she becameunmanageable, Commo. Perry went on board the N i v ''L&ii and, for the first time brought her into closeaction; soon after 'vmich the enemy suerendaredl. Atthme time of going into ;Action, there were lid :tell inithe-American squadron on the sick list. Tile numberof killed and wounded of the enemy are takenu fromtheir own returns.

Was decoyed by the President's accidentally hoisting theEnglish private signal of the day. Was finally sold ttauction, for $1 1,000.

'The British and American accounts of this affair do not dliffer materially; but in. many of the more important ;actions, that (ow,,t4euanrs reater discrepancies; the British accounts, in nearly every instance, overrating, the American force engaged, and undlerratimstheir oval carrying out the- same principle in reg'ard to the number of killed and wounded, the duration of the action, &c. To t ndeavo&is masop these conflicting statements, or even to quota all the authorities I have examined upon eaehi subject introduced, would beeoatupar tp ~the original design in publishing these Tables.t dufsw sa hehlrst Frigate action during this 'War, and for this reason, perhaps, thme subject of'asore vairi:d: comment And cs'iti. i

These embrace a few more captures than I find any where upon record, but perhaps not all. independently of which may be added a:number of places that have been taken in the South Seas, East Indies, and elsewhere, at different periods by our men of war, in self degfence, or to punishilawless aggressions, in which either Pirates or Savages have generally been the principal sufferers. If to these are ad*ded the captures which have at various times been made of vessels employed in the slave trade, (which by our law is declared piirwp,) itwill be seen that our small Niavy has, in peace as well as war, performed valuable services, and is entitled to all the gratitude that the coua-try has bestowed upon it.

* The piratical band subject to thc control of the notorious pirate, Jcan Lafitte, was supposed to have numbered about 1000 men, withsome 16 vessels.

In 1813, Gov. Claiborne offered a reward of 05,000 for Lafitte's head, which the Rover responded to by offering $50,000 for that ofttheGovernor.

Both the Americans and English were repulsed in their first attacks upon them at their rendezvous on B3arataria Island, before their Analdefeat and dispersion by the force under Commodore Patterson.

Capt. W. H. Percy, of H. B. M. ship Hermes, and Lt..Col. E~d. Nicholls, commlandinj [I. B. M. forces in b lorida,. had addressedletters to Lafitte in August, 1814, urging him to place himself under the protection of Great Bitain, offering him a fkee paron, the rank ofcaptain in the English service, and land for himself and followers at the conclusion of the war, bbt all to nb effect.

Supposed to have becn the same partythat had previously gained some advantages over an armed English force, and that had finally boarded and cap-tured an Austrian Brig of war of 10 guns.

With a valuable cargo, and sent to Baltimore. Condemned and sold for $7,650.

of their fidelity and courage on that occasion, that they were honorably noticed by General Jackson, and received a full pardon from Pre-sident Madison on the 6th of February following.About 3 years subsequently to the battle of New Orleans, Lafitte turned pirate again, making Galveston Island, on thc coast of Texas,his rendezvous, and the Gulf of' Mexico the scene or his operations. Soon after he was overtaken by a severe gale, and many of his vessclsfoundered. One was wrecked on our coast, and another, (a schooner of 2 guns and 50 men, commanded by one of his accomplices by thename of Lafage, with a prize in company,) was captured by the U. S. Revenue Cutter Alabama, after a sharp resistance, and carried intoBayo St. John, where the survivors were tried, condemned, and executed.Lafitte, who had heretofore warred principally against the Spanish flag, became exasperated by these reverses, and concentrating hisenergies for a final struggle, next put to sea in 1821, in the "Pride," a large Brigantine, armed with 16 gnadane ih11me, t

waer against the world.One account states that, a few days subsequently he encountered ann English sloop of war; a desperate action ensued, in which it wast reported thaat both Commanders Mire killed, and only 16 left alive on board'of the Pirate, which was finally carried by boarding, and after-wards taken to Jamaica, whorea the remaining 16 were tried, condemned, and 10 of them executed, and the remaining 6 pardoned. Thiswas probably one of his accomplices; for from another more recent, and apparently authentic account, it appears that after having~ aband-oned his rendezvous at Galveston early in 1821, agreeably to the desire of our Government, (as expressed through its agent, Lt.. L. Kear-ney, ia the U. 8. Brig ;enterprise,) he shifted his cruising ground to the southern coast of the Gulf, made the Island of Margarita, near theOronoco, a place of rendezvous, and finally ended his days in Sisal, Yucatan, in 1826.

CAPACITY, GENERAL QUALITIES, &C.

Sailed from, &c.

Stored and provisioned -for a cruise, drew 24.4 feet water, leaving the sills of her mid-(ship lower gun-deck ports only 3 feet above water. General qualities reported goodby Commo. Bainbridge, who superintended her building.

Razeed in 1836. The first 74 razeed in the U. S. Navy.

Is reported to sail best when from 6 to 20 inches by the stern; retaining her originalspars, her lower masts are unusually taunt. Under favorable circumstances haslogged 10 knots on a wind, and 1:3 knots free: '' Behaves well, is a good sea boat,and sails fast, 1837." During her last cruise in the Pacific averaged 140 knots perI24 hours, for 400 consecutive days. Was beaten by the St. Lawrence and Cum-.berland in the Mediterranean. " Is sure in stays, stiff under canvass, inclined togripe, and is hard on her cables: 1849 and '52." It has been recommended to dis-pense with 10 tons of ballast, the poop and topgallant forecastle ; to shorten thelower masts, and to dispense with a tiller oa the gun deck, which interferes withthe working of stern guns.

Launching draft, with bowsprit in, 13.6 forward, and 17.2 aft; when equipped forsea her lower deck midship ports within 4 feet of the water. Reportedly to sail best,when trimmed 16 inches by the stern. Acquiired a fair reputation during her first,cruise in the Mediterranean, where her model was very much admired.

Stows her water and provisions well, and when full or botlh, and equipped for sea,has a maximum draft of 25.8; beat sailing trim from 22 to 24 inches by the stern."INot very good, makes great lee way': 18f21." Second cruise reported "fair, canhold her way with the Prcble.". Third cruise; "good, sails well under all circum-stances, 11 knots on a wired,.and.12.4 free; is easy on her spars, and stand; up wellunder canvass; but with the wind on the quarter, and under a press. df'.iI steerswildly : 1848." Her original tiller was 22 feet long, and shipping on the lowergun deck interfered with the working of stern guns.

shrouds than is now obtained in our modern frigates. The Tatter cause, combinedwith sharpness of vessel, heavy live oak frame, heavy battery, and too much bal-last, (which has since been reduced to 7 tons, with a recommendation from hercommander, Capt. Percival, that this also be dispensed with,) has generally ren-dered her wet and uncomfortable in a seaway, hard on her cables, and no doubtwas the principal cause of her laboring so much as to roll or pitch one of her long24 pounders out of her forecastle port, when on her passage to France in 1835,when she was reported to have labored very heavily, parting several of her chainplates, &c. ".On her passage round Cape Horn labored beyond every thing I hadever witnessed, and gave me a hivel y idea of what sailors understand by ' workinglike a basket:' 1839." "Under all circumstances no ship of her class better;'rolls deep and easy ; but at anchor, in a seaway, is hard on her cables." Was 495days at sea during this cruise, and sailed 52,379 miles. Capt. P. recommends thather fore and main masts be placed three-fourths their diameter further aft, and thatall ballast be dispensed with: 1846. "'Excellent, very weatherly, works quick,rolls deep, but easy; stands up well under canvas, but not very dry in a seaway:1849." Maximum draft 231 feet; best sailing trim varying from 16 to 24 inchesby the stern. " Works within I I points of the wind; steers, works, sails, scuds, andlies to well; rolls deep and easy, and sailing close hauled has beaten every thingsailed with;: 1851w"

Maximum draft 23a feet; best sailing trim varying from 20 to 30 inches by thestern.

Injured] hcr false keel and rudder braces when first launched inJuly, 1797, and was obliged to be hove down for repairs.'

May, 1813, in Long Island sound, was struck by lightning, which passed down themainmast, and into the wvard room, without serious injury to any one.

In a trial trip with the United States Frigate Congress, (the latter's 1st cruise on theCoast ot Brazil in 1843,) tbere was scarcely any perceptible difference in the sail-ing of the two ships on a wind, butin going dead before the wind the United Stateshad the advantage. Reported to have beaten all of the British fleet on N1 wind inthe Mediterranean in 1834.

In hicr last cruise' in the Pacific in 1844, Comdir. Stribling reports that she is one ofthe most weatherly ships, and the best sea boat, that he has ever sailed in-rollingdecp but easy, and with very little strain on the masts and rigging.

And during her last cruise, 1846 to 1849, she is reported "slow but sure in stays;steers and sails well;- rolls easy, (75 tons of ballast only;) but rides heavy at heranchors." Capt. Gregory, in comparing her performance in 1816 and 1847 withthat of the Raritan from 1843 to 1845, says, there is no material differences in thetwo ships, excepting in heavy weather; and when lying to, &-c., the latter is notso wcathcrly.

Maximum draft 22; best sailing .trim varying from 18 to 26 inches by the stern.Performed renriarkably well on her let. cruise, particularly after being relieved of

some of her ballast; sailing 10 knots, on a bowline and 12 free, with ease. Rc.turning to the U. S. the steps of her masts were altered, since which she has nev-er sailed so well. On her Ist cruise to the WVest Indies, and 2d to the. Mediterra-nean, with iron tanks, and about 140 tons of ballast, she was regarded as a fairsailer, but not wcatherly; rolled dcep, but easy; pitched heavily in a head sea, andwas vcry hard upon her helm, which 4 men could not always control, aided bythe usual purchase of wheel ropes.

During her last cruise, with only 90 tons of ballast, she was reported "stiff, steerswell, stays badly, wears quickly. In smooth water, and sailing within 6Q pointsof the ind, makes fully point leeway." And in sailing was beaten by the St.Louis and Perry.

I-er maximum draft selom exceeded 22 feet, sailing best (10 knots per hour bythe wind, and 12 do. frec,) when from 10 to 22 inches by the stern, varying ac-cording to the load draft. Reported "stiff, fore-reaches and holds her wsy ivell+in stays; stcers and works wvell; requires all hier ballast; rolls deep, but easy on herspars and rigging, and is in every respect a remarkably fine ship.-1844:"

With this single exception, the latter reports: "Shtepossesses the finest qualities of any ship 1 ever sailed in; rolls as easy as a cradle,and stands up under her canvass like a church ; sails very fast, and could dispense Iwith 15 tons of ballast." Also recommends. -that her mainmast be shifted 3 or 4Ifeet further aft. - -1

Maximum draught 18 feet; best sailing trim varying from 6 to 18 inches by thestern. Reported to have sailed '11 knots per hour on a wind, and 13cree. "Ex-cellent under almost every variety of sail and weather,* but wanting a little morestability.-1S46.1" In a trial trip with the Portsmouithi this cruise, thte generalsailing qualitieR of the two ships were very much the same;. both beating theSoutlhampton, Yorktown,, and Truxtun with ease.. On her passage with suppliesto [relandt, experienced severe gales, and behaved remarkably well. -6Veryweatherly; works well; rolls easy, but pitches fearfully; inclines to' pipe;,requires a odbreze adlow sai -1481 Duigti cruise the masts wqreupright, (having previously raked aft;) several alterations recommended; sad,previous to departing on her last cruise, her astls and yi Ws were reiluced.

ALBANY, 20 .........

GERMANTOWN, 20..

Sailed on her first cruise without ballast, and took on board 15 tons at Malta, which,

on her second cruise, was reduced to 7 tons. Maximum draft 18 feet ; best

sailing trim varying from 16 to 22 inches by the stern. Reported to sail 10 knots

per hour on a wind, and 12 free. "Sails, works, and steers well ; 'rolls quick and

easy, and rides easy at her anchors in a sea way.-18 4 8." "1Lies to and stands

up well under canvass; steers and works well Irolls deep, but without strain

upon her spars and rigging, and rides very easy at her anchors in a sea-way.465 days at sea this cruise.-1851."

Maximum draft 17 feet; and sails best when trimmed about 28 inches by the

stern. "Sails, steers, and works well; is very easy on her spars, rigging, and Icables.-1846:' "Makes bad stowage, on account of the size of her tanks.-

1847." "Sails indifferently well; steers easily, but rolls and works badly, and

stands up well under canvass.-1850." Was 420 days at sea during her last

cruise in the East Indies and Pacific. Her commander reported her "remarkablyI

weatherly, and a fine sea boat.", In other respects, speaks as favorably of her

general qualities as the report of her first cruise.

1.

Maximum draft 1711 feet; best sailing trim varying from 15 to 30 inches by the

stern on her first and' second cruise. "S.teers and works readily, rolls easy, and

pitches heavily, and is very easy on her cables.-1847." "1Steers well, but sailsI

and works badly, and makes a great deal of'lee way ; on a wind, under the most

favorable circumstances, never makes more than 8 knots per hour; rolls andI

squats dreadfully, and requires low sail. Her best trim for sailing is probably

by the head.-1849."1 Previous to this cruise, her lower toast had been shortened

several feet. Carried the same sail on the fore that she did on her mainmast,

previous to this cruise. Has since undergone some alterations; and, by last re-ports, performs equallyy well, with at difference of from 20 inches to feet byl

the stern, aid without any ballast on board. Steers and lies to well, and works

as well as the average of ships.; stands up well under her sails; rolls deep, with-out straining her hull or rigging. She heas logged 10 knots per hour on a wind,

and 13 free. Beat the Decatur in a trial on the wind. I do not regard the Albany

as very weatherly, but, under all circumstances' in which I have seen her, (236

days at sea in the West Indies,) as superior to most ships.-1852."

Maximum draft 17.2, best sailing trim about 16 inches by thie stern.Maximum speed on a wind 11 knots per hour, and 12 do. going free.

''Very d; sters, works, and sails well ; rolls deep but easy ; requires all her bal-la od; e.2 ste Is weatherly and wet in. ausea way-1848 to 1850-338 day.

Maximum draft 16l' feet; best sailing trim varying from 14 inches by the stern whenlight, to 24 inches when full; baa Fogged from 91 to 101 knots per hour on a wind,and 11 free. "Excellent under reduced sail on a wind ; in a head sea, and with astrong breeze, can compete with any vessel. Lies to, steers and works well, andis easy on her spars and cables"-1828, With alight battery and spar deck in theExploring Expedition, her performance was very much as above. Rode at singleanchor one night on San Francisco Bar in a, heavy sea that~broke over the spardeck of tesip. With a battery of 4 8-inch guns and 16 329, (her spar deckhaving been taken off,) during her last cruise in the Pacific, in which she was 586days at sea, and sailed 62,520 miles, her commander' reports that she had behavedwell under all circumstances; was a good sea boat; not very, weatherly, and ex-ceedingly wet when close-hauled in a fresh breeze; he thinks her battery too heavyfor her, causing her to work and leak about one inch per. hour in heavy weather,and that she requires no ballast. She has since been given a spar deck again,and a battery of 4 8-inch guns, 4 329, 1 24, and 2 brass 12s, howitzers, to accom-modate her to the service upon which she is employed.

Maximtin draft, speed, and sailing trim very much the same as the Vincenanes."Has all the properties which can-be desired in aship-1832.""Sails well under all circumstances (no ballast,) and l think. there can be no better

sea boat--1834.""Very stiff (only 7 tons of ballast) and works well, but uncommonly wet and labor.'

Maximum draft 16 feet; on her 3d cruise, left port 5 inches by the head, when shewas reported to have worked and sailed well ; subsequently, and during the samecruise, all of her ballast was landed in the Pacific, when she drew 14 feet on aneven keel, and was reported to have "sufficient stability; very weatherly, and inall respects a very safe and comfortable ship, sailing 10 knots per hour on a wind,and 12 free." During this cruise the foremast was raked more aft than. usual."Good under most circumstances, but a very dull sailer before the wind, rollingdeep but easy ; bears her canvass well, and is at comfortable sea boat-1843."

"Will make a better store ship than cruiser--1852."1 This remark is applicable tosome others.

Maxilum draft 16 1 feet, and best sailing trim about 9 feet by the stern. "'Sailsand. works badly; easy in her motion and upon her cables; generally carries alee helm, and is not weatherly.

Reported as salina besttwhen about 9 inches by the stern. +"Steers easily, stays quiekly,,weara lowly,is very weatherly, would be stiff enough without ballast; perforule remark'hlwell under all circumstances, but in a sea way pitches heavily and is very wet:s1852."

In other particulars not differing materially from the Dolphin. Performed remarka-bly well, under all circumstances, with a light battery, while attached to the Ex-ploring Expedition for four years.

Reports since are less favorable. "Does not work well in a sea way-S47." "Is,very stiff, steers well, and is easy in her motion, except when riding at anchor ina sea way-18 49." "As above; generally getting stern board in stays, and not hold-ing her way very well in a squadron-1 85 0."

Maximum draft 13.2 feet; do. speed 9 knots per hour on awn, ad1 o reSailing best when trimmed about 2 feet by the stern.

Was not considered altogether a safe vessel on her first cruise. Lost 4 of her boats,and threw overboard 2 of her guns, before reaching the East Indies. Was subse-quently, in 1846, driven on shore on the Florida coast during a violent hurricane,and dismasted. "Very fast, (except in light winds,) and weatherly; steers andworks to perfection; rolls deep and easy; is also easy at her anchors, excepting ina short sea, when she drops heavily aft; will carry her top-gallant sails with anyIfrigate in the Navy; requires alt her ballast; 300 days at sea-1849." Next Icruise sailed 40,486 miles.

Purchased for special service. Employed from December, 1842 to A pril, 1843, as.a Receiving vessel in Charleston, B. C., under Lieuts. L. B. Newell and ..Shubrick.

Maximum draft 74 feet; do. speed 10 knots per hour under the most favorable cir-cumstances. Reported "a bad sea boat, and unsafe vessel, 1843."1

Nora.-The official reports and log books have furnished most of the data-contained in these tables. As might be eltpectecl, from avariety of conflicting causes, the reports of different cruises seldom agree in every particular in regard to the same 'tessel; I have, thereforein all cases where. there is a discrepancy, given the result of each, with the date annexed. Neither from the reports nor log book. hav'eibeen able to trace a full and continuous history of any one vessel in the Navy ; consequently I have been unable to indicate every changethat has taken place, which, in itself, may have effected tihe general qualities of the vessel. Besides a thorough overhauling and repairwhich most vessels undergo after a long cruise, it is well understood that an active cruiser requires a complete renovation about every a fhtyears, if built of white oak, and 12 years, if built of live oak, when a variety of changes usually follow, sometimes in the quantity, andaothers in mode of stowing the ballast, water, provisions, stores, &c., &c. The battery is frequently, changed; a poop deck or topgallantforecastle, frequently. added or suhatracted; spars lengthened or shortened; stayed forward or aft; sails increased or daiis~ied,ie,dany one of whictf changes may materials afict the sailing qualities of a vessel as al sailors know. Among these ehanges I will furthermention that of substituting chain for hemp cables, and the general. introduction of iron tanks in the plae of wooden casks, for carryingwater, &c. ;which has had the effect of increasing thestability of the ship and rendering less ballst neowsry.

CAPTURE, &C.

Date of commission or bond-1778.}Probably the same vessel recommisuioned.

A brig of this name, of 16 guns and 100 men, comn-mnanded by Capt. Hallet, of Massachusetts, be-longed to the squadron of Commo. Saltonstall,and with others was burnt in the Penobscot onthe 14th of August, 1779, to prevent falling in-to the hands of the enemy.

Captured the Privateer Mercury, Capt. Campbell,of 8 guns, after a slight resistance.

SCaptured.

In 3une;1776, a party of American soldiers fromBoston captured a brig~ off the harbor; beat offthe tender to the Nautilus man of war, and car-ried their prize into Bedford.

Note.-The claseification, &ec., of vessels con-tained in these tables, have, in nearly every in-stance, been copied from official documents.Nevertheless, I suspect that a sloop has some-times been called a ship, or a brig a schooner,and that the swivels have sometimes been in-cluded in the number of guns given; but in theabsence of positive proof, I have felt bound toconfine myself to the record.

The enemy claim to have captured a vesefel ofthis name and force just previous to the wit ofIndepeelce.

AD MINISTRATION

OF

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT

THlE FIRST LEGISLATION OF CONGRESS IN REGARD TO THE NAVY,

1775, Oct, 13, directed that one vessel of 10 guns, and another of 14 guns, be equipped as national

cruisers. At the same time a law was passed establishing a " Marine Committee," consisting

of Messrs. John Adams, John Langdon, and Silas Dean--the place of Mr. Adams being after-

wards supplied by Mr. Gadsden. This Committee was chosen by Congress from their own

members, and given control of all Naval matters.

Several changes and modifications followed, and in

1776, Nov., a « Continental Navy Board," consisting of three competent 'persons, was appointed

subordinate to the above Committee. The latter wvas subscquiently divided into an "Eastern

Board," and " Board of the Middle District."'

1779, Oct. 28. A " Board of Admiralty " wvas established, consisting-.of three comimisiorers, who

were not in Congress, and two that were, who were given .control 'of all Naval and Marine af-

fairs.

1781, Feb. 7th. Alexander McDougall, a Major General, who had been a'Seaman in his youth,

was appointed "cSecretary of Marine," with all the duties and powers previously confided- to

the Board of Admiralty.

1781, Aug. An " Agent of Marine " wvas appointed to supersede all Agents, Boards, or Com-

mittees, previously established by lawv. The duties of this oAce subsequently devolved on the

"9Superintendent of Finances," who was the celebrated Robert Morris.

Legislation here closed upon this branch of the service, until

1789, Aug. 7, when a law was passed placing -the Navy under the control of the Secretary of War,

where it remained until

1798, April 30, when a Navty Department was established at the Seat of tdovemament, with a

"Secretary of the Navy," (Benjamin Stoddert,) at its head ; to whichwas added;

1815, Feb. 7, a «Board of Commissioners," composed of Captains of the Navy, subject t6

appointment by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate of the United

States. In the place of this Board, the law of

1842, Aug. 31, established the following Bureaus, to be attached to the Navy Depatent:

W, <.k,

ADMINISTRATION- OF THE NAVY DEPARTMENT. 205

ORGANIZATION OF 1842.

1. A Bureau of Navy Yards and Docks.2. A Bureau of Construction, Equipment, and Repair.3.' A Bureau of Provisions and Clothing.

4. A Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography.

.5. A Bureau of Medicine and. Surgery.For. the Chiefa of these Bureaus the law specified that a Captain in the Navy should be ap-

pointed to the Ist and 4th ; a skilful Naval Constructor to the 2d ; a Surgeon in the Navy to the5th,; and the 3d was left open, with a proviso that the incumbent should receive a salary of $3,000per annum. In regard to the 2d*, Secretary Upshiur remarks : " In providing a Chief forthe Bureau of Construction, Equipment, and Repair, the alternative wvas between a Naval Captainqualified to equip, and a Naval Constructor qualified to build and repair ;" and adds, "I did nothesitate to prefer the former, and the place is filled by a member of the late Board of Navy Corn-mnissioners

An officer of this grade continued at the head of this Bureau, with a Naval Constructor andChief Engineer attached to the same, until the let of Ju~ly, 1853, when a subsequent law took effect,disqualifying a Captain for this position, and leaving it open for the Secretary of the Navy again toselect from any other grade or position, "a skilful Naval Constructor." The result has finally beena selection of an old experienced Naval Constructor.

The 3d, or Bureau of Provisions and Clothring, was originally given to a Civilian, the formerSecretary, of the Board of Navy. Commissioners ; and at his death, to a Captain in the Navy ; subse-quently to a Citizen; -and finally to a Purser in the Navy, who is the present incumbent.

*Two Bureaus, in a spirit of economy,-having been merged into one, without altering the original wording of the bill con-templating a division into two, has created the legislation and change that has followed.

HISTORICAL AND COMPARATIVE.

History informs us that vessels were built, fleets organized, and naval battles fought for thesupremacy of Empire sixc hundred years before our Saviour's advent upon earth.

Vessels, however, at this early period, and for the thousand years that followed, are representedas open boats or undecked vessels, varying from one to fifty tons, the larger only fitted with a mast,yard, and sail, which was used when the wind was fair; at other times they, like the smaller,were propelled by oars and paddles; one of the latter usually serving in the place of the modernrudder to guide or steer the vessel.

Without going farther back than our ancestors whlo peopled Albion during the Anglo Saxonperiod, we find that vessels were then classed as "Ships," "Ceols," "<Hulks," "Ascs," and "Boats,"which, to the number of several thousands, sometimes constituted the Navy of Great Britain. Andas early as A. D. 875, was commanded in person by King Alfred, the "Sailor King," who led tovictory against the Danes.

So early did Great Britain feel her supremacy upon the Ocean, (wvhich to the present time shtehas enjoyed with but few checks,) that Canute, "who was elected King by the fleet" in 1014, seat-ing himself upon the sea, shore, and addressing the flowing tide with an air of aulhlority, said: "Thou,0 sea, art subject to mre, as is the land on which I sit; nor is there any one therein who dare resistmy commands."

Likewise, during the subsequent reign of King John, who is now, I believe, regarded as theactual founder of the British Navy, this idea of supremacy was confirmed by a law, passed A. D.1200, enjoining every ship that met the King's fleet at sea to lower her sails; a cu~stomi that haes notentirely gone out of fashion to this day.

During this period vessels were classed as "Great Ships," "(Long Ships," "Galleys," "S8or.necks," "Nascellas, or Navaculas," icPasserettes," "Coqs," and "Barges." And although the large.est of these in the English Navy had but one mast, it appears that, but nine years previous, KingRichard, while at the head of his fleet, and crossing the Mediterranean to Palestine, encountered.

A,

208 ADMINISTRATION OF THE NAVY DEPARTMENT..

captured, and sunk a large Turkish ship of three masts, whose enormous dimensions very much

excited the wonder and admiration of the English, some of whom called her a "Droman," andothers a "Buss," and all agreed that she was not only a "marvellous ship," but, the "Queen of

ships." And inasmuch as she is represented to have had on board 1500 souls,, she must have ap.

proached nearer to the size of modern built vessels than any that were constructed in England for

many years subsequent.

Of the varied changes that have since taken place in the size, construction, rig, and classifica.

tion of vessels, it is not intended here to discuss nor exemplify, further than has been demonstrated

by these tables for a very brief period. Suffice it to say, that from the period last mentioned on to

the present, ships have gone on increasing in size and perfection; their batteries, or number and call.

bre of their guns, keeping pace with their increased dimensions, and their models varying to suit the

prevailing opinion of the age, until, by way of comparison, a line of battle ship at the present day

may be regarded as superior in force to any of the ancient fleets.

And yet it would be presumption in any of the present generation to suppose that we have yet

arrived at any thing like perfection in the art of ship building; for it will hardly be questioned, that,

(luring the comparatively brief period embraced in this compilation, in which we claim to have had

a Navy, the greatest changes in ship building have been witnessed; while those who regard

steam power as in its infancy, are looking forward to still greater changes in the next fifty years.

Already it is proposed to build a steam vessel in New York that shall be 500 feet long by S0 feet

beam, that will attain a speed of 30 miles per hour.
