This original newspaper contains 6 columns of a list of the naval actins between the US and Great Britain in the War of 1812. The first 2 (and most important) actions are headlined: "Vessels of War", with the first US naval victory being reported as the victory of the USS Constitution over the HMS Guerriere.This is an outstanding display newspaper with a very very long and very very detailed list of the first hundereds of warship and naval actions of the WAR of 1812. USS Constitution vs HMS Guerriere was a battle between an American and British ship during the War of 1812, about 400 miles southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. It took place on the 19th of August 1812, one month after the war's first engagement between British and American forces. Guerriere was proceeding to Halifax for a refit, having been detached from a squadron which had earlier failed to capture Constitution. When the two ships encountered each other on August 19th, Guerriere's Captain James Richard Dacres engaged, confident of victory against the larger, better-armed U.S. ship. The exchange of broadsides felled Guerriere's masts and reduced the ship to a sinking condition. Constitution's crew took the British sailors on board and set Guerriere on fire, then returned to Boston with news of the victory, which proved to be important for American morale. Very good condition. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it. STEPHEN A.
