Spectacular US NAVY history in the 1813 newspaper. THE US NAVY Frigate USS Constitution defeats the British warship, HMS JAVA, in one of the most brilliant US NAVY victories in history!
William Bainbridge, senior to Hull, took command of \"Old Ironsides\" on 8 September and prepared her for another mission in British shipping lanes near Brazil. Sailing withHorneton 27 October, they arrived nearSão Salvadoron 13 December, sightingHMSBonne Citoyennein the harbor.Bonne Citoyennewas reportedly carrying $1,600,000 in specie to England, but her captain refused to leave the neutral harbor lest he lose his cargo.Constitutionsailed offshore in search of prizes, leavingHornetto await the departure ofBonne Citoyenne. On 29 December, she met withHMSJavaunder CaptainHenry Lambert, a frigate of the same class as theGuerriere(approximately half the displacement ofConstitution) and, at the initial hail from Bainbridge,Javaanswered with a broadside that severely damagedConstitution\'s rigging. She was able to recover, however, and returned a series of broadsides toJava. A shot fromJavadestroyedConstitution\'s helm (wheel), so Bainbridge directed the crew to steer her manually using thetillerfor the remainder of the engagement.(Bainbridge was wounded twice during the battle.) As in the battle withGuerriere,Java\'s bowsprit became entangled inConstitution\'s rigging, allowing Bainbridge to continue raking her with broadsides.Java\'s foremast collapsed, sending her fighting top crashing down through two decks below.
Bainbridge drew off to make emergency repairs and re-approachedJavaan hour later. As in the case withGuerriere,Javalay in shambles, an unmanageable wreck with a badly wounded crew. The British ship surrendered.Bainbridge determined thatJavawas far too damaged to retain as a prize and ordered her burned, but not before having her helm salvaged and installed onConstitution.[Constitutionreturned to São Salvador on 1 January 1813, where she met withHornetand that ship\'s two British prizes to disembark the prisoners ofJava. Bainbridge orderedConstitutionto sail for Boston on 5 January,being far away from a friendly port and needing extensive repairs, leavingHornetbehind to continue waiting forBonne Citoyennein the hopes that she would leave the harbor (she did not).Constitution\'s victory overJava, the third British warship in as many months to be captured by the United States, prompted the British Admiralty to order its frigates not to engage the heavier American frigates one-on-one; only British ships of the line or squadrons were permitted to come close enough to these ships to attack.Constitutionarrived in Boston on 15 February to even greater celebrations than Hull had received a few months prior.
