a light had gone out above Bainbridge's portrait at the USSCM and paired with the trophy sizes it created quite the funny scene

It was my day off today and I was supposed to be working on Charles Stewart鈥檚 birthday picture to put on queue in case I don鈥檛 have time when I take my vacation. Procrastinated most of the day and still no motivation.

a funny thing about having a Problematic Blorbo is that you'll periodically come across a post along the lines of "um let's not forget that [Blorbo] is a bad person..." listing their various crimes, and if you have a modicum of intellectual honesty you find yourself nodding along and saying yeah it's true... but it's the greyness of their character that makes them so compelling... At the same time though you have a little Saul Goodman in your ear going "your honor in their defense: who cares like omfgggg who caresssssss like come onnnnnn"

Remember the Chesapeake!



Meet Preble鈥檚 Boys William M. Crane and Charles Gordon. They were so appalled about the Chesapeake- Leopard Affair that Charles Gordon especially faced multiple duels as he was the flag captain of the Chesapeake and had a major hand in convicting Commodore James Barron. One particular duel, William M. Crane was Gordon鈥檚 second in a duel against a Dr. Stark.
During the duel, Stark was shot in the arm by Lt. Crane because allegedly the dr. shot his pistol before getting the command to do so. As a result, Gordon dueled the dr.鈥檚 second. This duel like any duel was utterly ridiculous and multiple rounds happened.
Fast forward to the War of 1812. The same British squadron that chased Isaac Hull in the Constitution for 3 days captured Lt. William M. Crane in the Nautilus within 24 hours of him sailing out of New York. He was sent to Halifax and didn鈥檛 return until September 11th during a prisoner exchange. His ship was the first U.S. navy vessel captured during the war. (I seen many conflicting days of the capture like the 6th of July, 15th, 17th. Which was it people???)
The Chesapeake Bay was facing a blockade and the USS Constellation was moored up in Hampton Roads Virginia. Captain Charles Stewart who was originally in command of the Constellation was ordered to the Constitution so left Master Commandant Joseph Tarbell in charge but Charles Gordon was vital in defending the Constellation. Gordon would work together with brigadier general Robert B. Taylor of the Virginia Militia against the British resulting in an American victory on Craney Island. However that was one of a few within the Chesapeake region against the raids that happened.
