"In 1794, President Washington signed legislation authorizing the construction of six heavy frigates. (The frigate, smaller than a battleship and larger than a sloop, represented a unique combination of power, speed, and tactical versatility. In any navy, the frigates were sent on the most daring missions, and they fought the most dramatic single-ship actions of the Napoleonic era.) The American frigates were to be built at six major seaports: Portsmouth, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Norfolk. Entirely new domestic industries would be created, relying heavily on the extraction of natural resources - hemp, jute, flax, ore, softwoods, and hardwoods - from the backwoods of Maine to the uninhabiated coastal islands of Georgia. It was the first great appropriation of federal money and the first demonstration of the power of the new central government."--BOOK JACKET.

The story of the tall frigates spans one of the most exciting eras of American history. As the first vessels of the United States Navy, these brave sailing ships defended the interests of the new nation on waters around the world. In dramatic duels against the French, the English, the North African corsairs, such men of war as The Constitution, Constellation, Essex, Philadelphia, United States, President and Congress, under the command of intrepid skippers like Truxton, Preble, Talbot, Dale, Lawrence, Bainbridge, Decatur, Barron, Rogers, Hull and Porter, challenged the great sea powers and showed that the rights of the infant country could not be abused.
