no losses, some of my encounters with the enemy stand out as my proudest achievements. These legendary stories were made possible by
unmatched skill, ingenuity, courage and dedication of my Sailors. The Great Chase-July 16-19, 1812: Less than a month after the United States
declared war on Great Britain, under the command of Capt. Isaac Hull, I was en route to New York, to join Commodore John Rodgers' squadron.
At about 4 p. m. on July 16, off the coast of Egg Harbor, NJ, my crew sighted an unknown ship to the northeast, which was joined by more ships
early the next day. "One Frigate astern within about five or six miles, and a Line of Battle Ship, a Frigate, a Brig, and Schooner, about ten or
twelve miles astern all in chase of us, with a fine breeze, and coming up very fast it being nearly calm where we were," Hull wrote to the
secretary of the Navy a few days later. "Soon after Sunrise the wind entirely left us, and the Ship would not steer..." Capt. Hull ordered the crew
to lighten our load in order to give me more speed. They discharged thousands of gallons of drinking water over the side and doused my sails
with water to take full advantage of the occasional light winds. Additionally, small boats were launched for a towing operation called kedging-
carrying small anchors ahead of me to be dropped into the coastal waters, and then painstakingly using the capstan to pull me forward to the
submerged anchors. The English forces concentrated their own kedging efforts on moving a single ship closer and closer. By about 4 p. m. on
July 18, I had a 3-4 mile lead over the enemy. Hull ordered his men prepare our sails for a coming squall, and when the British ships did the
same, my sails were unfurled and I raced away at 11 knots. The Royal Navy ships gave up the chase early the next morning. 1 frigates-fast naval
