PERSONNEL AND SHIPS' DATA BARBARY WARS

PREFACE

This Register of officers and ships of the Navy during the years 1801 through 1807 will supplement the operational material in Naval Documents related to the United States Wars with the Barbary Powers, six volumes of which have already been published. The additional data on personnel and ships should be of value not only to historians but also to genealogists, artists, model builders, and naval architects.

Part I, Personnel, endeavors to list all the commissioned, warrant, and acting officers both of the Navy and Marine Corps during the years 1801 through 1807, stating the various duty assignments of each. All the material is from official sources, but there may be omissions because of incomplete records and failure to report some changes of duty and appointments a t distant stations. The Office of Naval Records and Library will be glad to have these drawn to its attention. The initials P. E. A. mean Peace Establishment Act; and ran means deserted.

Part I has been prepared by Mrs. Alma R. Lawrence. She was assisted by Miss Loretta I. MacCrindle, ~Mrs. Fay A. King, Miss Mabel I. Welde, Miss Catherine MacDonnell, ,'Mrs. Frances M. Holmes, and Miss Georgia Freese.

Part I I , Ships' Data, has been compiled from many sources, all contemporary and authentic, but much about our early naval vessels was not known even in the Navy Department when the vessels were still in existence. Additional material will be welcomed by the Office of Naval Records and Library,

The form in which the data are presented requires definitions for those headings not self-explanatory. Cost is the total expenditure made to prepare the vessel for duty, unless otherwise noted. Agent is the individual or firm who handled the business details for the Navy Department. The builder had actual charge of constructing the vessel. I n Commission is the earliest date when the vessel is known to have been fully prepared for duty. Principal dimensions: great care has been taken to attain uniformity so that an accurate basis of size comparison is possible. Unless noted by specific wording or by an asterisk length means that of the gun deck from the fore part of the rabbit of the stem to the after part of the wing transom; b~eadth denotes the extreme width a t the widest point including both wales; depth is the measurement from the limber strake to the top of the deck beam. Since the method of calculating tonnage varied widely in different ports it has been impossible to attain any uniformity. Complement: because of frequent changes in the size of ships' crews these figures must be considered the number of men required to work and fight a given vessel. Battery: this gives the number and size of the guns in the main battery but does not include light pieces such as swivels and top howitzers. Spar dimensions: since the masting and sparring of vessels was left largely to the preferences of commanding

m

officers, changa were actual use in the year with mast beab and are omitted ss mastg generally followed a nil0 of 1 inch to 3 feet of length and yards 1 inch to about every 5 feet. Light spars such m studdingsail yards and boom ere not listed because of space limitations. The tabulation of gunboats is the first known to appear in print. There are much data missing from the Navy Archi~es about these vessels and much found there are contradictory but all data presented httve been carefully sifted and are believed to be accurate.

The lans of vessels reproduced in this volume are all taken from originai in the National Arehi ves or Library of C The photo- p p h s for i b ~ pla i~ , w= the work of Lt. ~ i e n n ~ ' b l a M o A r S and Mr. John J. Keegan, both formerly members of the staff of the Division of Photographic Archives and Research, National Archives. It is only through their skill in reproducing these badly stained and in some instances mutilated drawings that it has been possible to present facsimiles of these lans. Mutilations are indicated by a wavy line. This office is d o greatly indebted to Dr. Vemon D Tate, Dr. K Neil Franklin, and Mr. Charles L. Perry, Jr., of the National Archives for their aid in expediting the photographic work.

Part TI hae been prepared by Lieut-enant M. V. Brewington, U. S. N. R. with the assistance of Mrs. Alma R. Lawrence and Miss Mabel I. Welde in the preparation of the vessel histories.

84 REGXGTER OF BHIP8' DATA

contractors, particularly those on the Western Rivers, were potl- ticians rather than shipbuilders, the red builders are rarely known. The launching dates are in most instances unknown, but those com- pleted were usually laid u in ordinary and the few commissioned saw only patrol service. X schooner rig was given to #*I and #12, the plan of #12 being National Archives 80-7-18. A sloop rig was given to #13 through #22 with the following spar dimensions:
