  • Copper Sheathing, Industrial Espionage and an Eminent American Entrepreneur
    Copper Sheathing, Industrial Espionage and an Eminent American Entrepreneur Louis Arthur Norton For millennia wooden ships that plied the world’s oceans were plagued by biological problems. These were a multifaceted result of water temperature, salinity, levels of sunlight and the quantity of nutrients in the water. Vessel hulls, in time, collected seaweed affecting their speed and maneuverability. The ship’s longevity was impacted by infestations of two marine borers: the shipworm, a wormlike clam and tiny crustaceans known as gribbles. Combined they largely destroyed the integrity of marine timber structures, often working together to bore tunnels in wood to make it spongy and friable. Countless schemes were tried over time to solve sea flora and wood-rot problems. Some produced limited success until, in the eighteenth century, a relatively simple and practical solution was found, one that would shape maritime history. The evolution of that discovery ultimately affected two American icons, one a storied ship, the other a patriot, entrepreneur and an industrial opportunist. Of weeds, quasi-worms and “lice” Continuous attack by saltwater flora meant that seaweed and barnacles had to be laboriously and mechanically scraped off from a careened ship1. In a procedure called “graving,” a graving compound, a mixture of tar, tallow and sulfur, was smeared on the cleaned hull. It was effective against seaweed for several years (though not against borers), but had to be refreshed frequently at great labor costs. This process helped with the weed problem, but it did not affect shipworm infestations, a far more complex, problematic conundrum.2 The term “shipworms,” is a misnomer.

HOLLIS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PEEFACE The history of the Frigate Constitution is un- dertaken in order to bring within the pages of one volume all the events which go to make a long and interesting career upon the sea. It is the outgrowth of a short article for the " Atlantic Monthly " to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the vessel's launch. She has so long been a favorite topic for stoiytellers and writers that nothing new remains to be told. It is rather a case for recall- ing much that has been forgotten. As the forma- tion and service of the sailing navy supply the background which brings our ship into stronger perspective, all the circumstances which had an in- fluence upon her design, construction, and employ- ment are given. WhUe, therefore, in no sense a history of the Navy, it forms* a reasonably con- nected narrative of naval events, and particularly of our good old frigate.

Jrrftttt When nearing the completion of a work of this character the writer cannot help but refer to its inception. One hundred years ago a young New Englander by birth came to Philadelphia to earn his living and if possible make his fortune. He was eager, ambitious and patriotic. His father was dead, and also both grandfathers, but he knew how unselfishly they had served their country; one as a major in the Continental Line, and the other as the commander of a ten-gun privateer. His respect for his male progenitors and his love for his mother led him to carefully transcribe the genealogical lines of both families. These records made by John William Claghorn& have been handed to us, and with the assistance of Surgeon Charles E. Banks, Captain George Cleghorn Tancred, Charles Claghorn, and John W. Claghorn, 3d, and many others directly and indirectly connected with the family have completed this volume. Let us continue these records and pass to each succeeding gen­ eration with the same interest in their preservation and exten­ sion that has been shown in their compilation. 7 IDl}r C!!luglrnru 1Jtatttily.

  • Constitution 1
    UNITED STATES SHIP CONSTITUTION 1 - Aft by EMign John looch, USN. ,"-, -.-.~..":--~~~~ .......- - _. ~ Welcome aboard USS CONSTITUTION. the oldest fully com- missioned warship in.the world and still a part of the U.S. Navy. She is tangible evidence of America's proud naval heritage and maritime traditions. In 1794. when CONSTITUTION and five other frigates were authorized. the new United States of America had been without a Navy for nine years. During those years. the young nation'seconomy depended upon. and was nurtured by. seaborne commerce with peoples around the world. Those of our merchants who traded in the Mediterranean found it increasingly more difficult to conduct busi- ness because of the attacks of the Barbary (North African) pirates. who knew there was no U.S. Navy to stop them. Finally, on March 27. 1794. Congress passed a bill to establish the U:S. Navy that we know today. CONSTITUTION. laid down that same year, was designed by Joshua Humphreys and Josiah Fox to be powerful enough to defeat any enemy about the same size and fast enough to outsail a stronger opponent. Built by Colonel George Claghorn at Edmond Ham's shipyard in Boston, the live oak. red cedar. white oak. pitch pine and locust, of which she was constructed. came from states ranging from Maine to South Carolina and Georgi •.. The live oak. which grows only along our southeastern coast. came from the sea islands off Georgia. Her masts came from Unity. Maine and South Carolina furnished the pinefor her decks. Some of the canvas came from Rhode Island and New Jersey provided the keel and cannon balls.

First and foremost I would like to offer my most sincere gratitude to my major professor, Dr. Rafe Blaufarb. Most assuredly, Dr. Blaufarb will never fully comprehend the impact he had on me throughout my academic career. Accepting me into the graduate program at Florida State University opened doors that I presumed would remain closed forever. I would also like to thank my PhD committee members, Drs. Jonathan Grant, Maxine Jones, Nathan Stoltzfus, and Candace Ward for taking the time to read the first draft of my dissertation and give valuable insight into raising the level of my writing.
