PREFACE The following memoir was intended for the series of American Biography edited by- President Sparks. Owing to the suspension of that valuable work, and at the suggestion of its accomplished editor, the present sketch appears in a separate volume. In preparing it, I have been actuated by a desire to ren- der justice to a highly efficient and patriotic American officer, and, at the same time, to preserve some of the incidents and corre- spondence which belong to that period of our country's annals, to which the flight of time only adds new significance and interest. There has been manifest, until within a few 1* VI PREFACE. years, a singular indifference to the histori- cal and biographical details of our revolu- tionary era ; and an absence of that cordial recognition of individual merit in some of the chief actors of that great drama, which confirm, not only the proverbial charge of ingratitude against republics, but justify De Tocqueville's theory with regard to their exclusive devotion to the immediate, and their peculiar insensibility to the lessons of the past. The difficulty experienced in ob- taining many of the facts in this brief and imperfect sketch, as well as the original documents requisite to authenticate them, is sufficient evidence of the forgetfulness and neglect to which the records of American public characters are liable.

Biographical Sketch James Sever was one of the six founding captains of the U.S. Navy, and the first captain of the frigate USS Congress. Sever was born in Kingston, Massachusetts in 1761. He graduated from Harvard College in 1781 and was commissioned an ensign in the Continental Army that year. He rose to the rank of lieutenant, serving until 1794. After the American Revolution, Sever worked as a merchant ship captain, but he had no previous naval experience when he was appointed in 1794 as construction superintendent and future captain of USS Congress in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He lost the position when construction on USS Congress was suspended in 1796, following peace with Algiers. In 1798, as the Quasi-War with France was heating up, Sever was recalled and appointed to command the 20-gun ship USS Herald. When construction of USS Congress was 1 USS Constitution Museum Finding Aid completed and the ship was launched in August 1799, Sever was returned to command of that frigate.

  • CORIOLIS Volume 6, Number 1, 2016 Page 1 America's Unwitting Pirate
    America’s Unwitting Pirate: The Adventures and Misfortunes of a Continental Navy Captain Louis Arthur Norton Introduction After the onset of the American Revolutionary War, Patriot leaders realized that an American maritime harassment of British commercial shipping close-to-home and British seaside communities was likely to produce shock — if not awe. This "asymmetric” battle strategy, sometimes-called irregular warfare, uses unconventional tactics to exploit the vulnerabilities of the stronger opponent. Several Continental Navy captains were adept at attacking the British near their coastal waters. The most celebrated and skillful self-promoter was John Paul Jones. His exploits as Captain of Ranger and Bonhomme Richard earned him the title of “pirate” in the eyes of the His Majesty’s government. Lambert Wickes was also successfully operated close to the British Isles, but unfortunately Wickes, along with his ship Reprisal, was lost at sea in September 1777. Since this tragedy occurred relatively early in the war away from American shores, his fame ebbed like an outgoing Atlantic tide. A third captain, Gustavus Conyngham, also engaged in this asymmetric naval warfare and was credited with 31 ships apprehended, but suffered multiple physical and financial misfortunes.

  • USS Constitution's Small Boats
    USS Constitution’s Small Boats As early as 1798, a pinnace & yawl are mentioned as part of USS Constitution‟s small boat complement. Captain Silas Talbot, second commander of USS Constitution, accomplished the first “underway replenishment” of a US Navy vessel between December 31, 1799 and January 1, 1800 when he orchestrated an at-sea transfer of provisions between Constitution and a cargo vessel. The tons of supplies included: 260 barrels of bread, 75 barrels of beef, 75 barrels of pork, 15 barrels of Indian meal, 10 barrels of flour, 30 barrels of potatoes, 4 tierces of rice, 8 barrels of cheese, 1 tierce of peas, 1 cask peas, and 6 kegs of butter1. The replenishment took place over 28 hours, transferring the goods via Constitution‟s small boats. By the end of the cruise, Captain Talbot had been able to keep the ship on her assigned mission for 347 out of 366 days – quite a feat. In May, 1803, as Constitution was being readied for her first Mediterranean sojourn in the Barbary War, the following small boats were to be constructed: 30‟x7‟x2.5‟ lapstrake barge 30‟x8.5‟x3‟ lapstrake cutter 22‟x5.66‟x2.25‟ lapstrake jolly boat2. In July, 1804, as Constitution was being prepared for the bombardment of Tripoli the small boats were armed: cutter – an iron 4-pd carronade & a brass 4-pd long gun; barge – brass 4-pdr; pinnace & “small cutter” each carried brass 1 ½ pounders; and the jolly boat – an iron 4-pd carronade3. By the War of 1812, Constitution was outfitted with 8 different small boats.

  • The Quasi War Cases-And Their Presidential War Powers
    THE QUASI WAR CASES-AND THEIR RELEVANCE TO WHETHER "LETTERS OF MARQUE AND REPRISAL" CONSTRAIN PRESIDENTIAL WAR POWERS J. GREGORY SIDAK* I. INTRODUCTION Constitutional scholars cite three Supreme Court decisions arising from the undeclared Quasi War with France in 1798-1800 as support for the proposition that Congress may authorize war of any magnitude, and that, except in case of sudden or imminent attack on the United States, this congressional authority displaces any right of the President to use military force of even modest magnitude without prior congressional authorization. The textual hook claimed by these scholars for so reading Bas v. Tingy,1 Talbot v. Seeman,2 and Little v. Barreme3 is the phrase in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution that immediately follows the grant to Congress of the power "To declare War"-namely, the power to "grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water."A These additional words, it is argued, are placed in the War Clause because the Framers intended that Congress, and Congress alone, have the power to authorize not only "general" or "perfect" war through a formal declaration of war, but also "limited" or "imperfect" war. It is further argued that the temporal proximity of the three Quasi War * Visiting Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center; F.K.
