	USS Chesapeake
		In August 1811 the Shannon sailed for the coast of North America; and, had this frigate, in the excellent order in which she was kept, met the Constitution in August 1812, we verily believe- But the Shannon and the Constitution did not meet; therefore the thing was not tried.
		The Shannon immediately shifted her helm a-starboard, and shivered her mizentopsail, to keep off the wind again, and delay the boarding, probably until her guns had done a little more execution among the crew, supposed to be at least a fourth superior in number.
		The figurehead of the Chesapeake, which was captured by the Shannon, was formerly on a summer house at the top of the garden-it was a bird, perhaps an eagle, and a portion of it was said to be part of a lamp bracket in the house.

		Given the parsimonious approach to naval expenditures taken by President James Madison's administration, it is not surprising that the outbreak of war with England in June of 1812 found Chesapeake in a terrible material state.
