		There is an interesting side story to this battle that concerns a barrel of molasses on board the Guerriere's deck, which may have contributed to the victory.

		The Constitution's gunners destroyed the barrel, spilling slippery molasses all about the Guerriere's deck, thus making it nearly impossible for the British to keep their footing and maneuver their vessel.
