“Dissolute and Immoral Practices” the Court Martial of James T. Leonard
“Dissolute and Immoral Practices” The Court Martial of James T. Leonard Gary M. Gibson Had she been Captain Leonard’s wife her conduct would have been proper.1 n 1812 there were only three sea officer ranks in the United States Navy: lieutenant, master I commandant and captain.2 With Congress repeatedly refusing to create the rank of admiral, a captain had only a promotion to the honorary title of commodore to look forward to. That title was awarded by the Navy Department to a captain commanding a squadron and convention allowed him to fly a special flag called a broad pendant.3 This flag was also used to denote the senior naval officer present on a station. The right to fly a broad pendant was a privilege jealously guarded and disagreements between officers over that right often left a residue of bad feelings. One such occurred on 14 July 1812 when the commandant of the New York Navy Yard, Captain Isaac Chauncey, watched a flotilla of gunboats arrive in New York Harbor with one boat, that of Master Commandant James T. Leonard, flying a broad pendant.4 That annoyed Chauncey. As senior officer, he felt Leonard was out of line and he confronted him about the matter. Leonard told Chauncey that his was a separate command, not subordinate to Chauncey, and therefore he was authorized by the Navy Department to fly a broad pendant.
