(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.
