    Default Guerriere -- Constitution Battle Anniversary

    August 19, 1812 the USS Constitution engaged and defeated the HMS Guerriere. Here are links from the USS Constitution Museum to a) historian at home video commentary on the battle (complete with models!), b) objects in the museum collection from and about the battle, and c) historical information on the battle. Enjoy!

    Very interesting to see the encounter played out rather than just reading am account Bill.Thanks for posting this one. It was very similar to many single ship battles we have played, though far more dramatic.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
