looking at bump's dates/days, unfairly High Resolution threads transverse from page 1 to page 10 on average 3 days... 2 days if the celebrity clowns are playing games... so >>2850044 probably Op became upset and didn't fully understand why some people simply bump good threads ...and didn't have the resources to post "Artistic Renditions of Ships" as requested by bingus

I'd taken this thread for dead after it got no replies in three days. I only saw it again when I was on the frontpage today, to my very pleasant surprise. My heart goes out to the gentle anon who had the kindness in his heart to bump this thread.
above....deck is the series of four paintings hanging in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass. depicting the action between HMS Guerriere and USS Constitution at the beginning of the War of 1812
In December, 1812, off the coast of Brazil, HMS Java, thirty-eight guns, was on her way to the East Indies, carrying over four hundred officers and seamen to be stationed there, the newly appointed governor of Bombay and his staff, and dispatches for every British port in the Indian and Chinese Seas. Java’s crew was inexperienced, having had only a single day’s gunnery drill. Bainbridge’s crew on Constitution was well trained, and when the two frigates engaged, Java was cut to pieces. A lucky shot took out the helm (wheel) on Constitution, and Bainbridge himself was twice wounded. After the surrender, Java’s helm was used to replace that on the Constitution, and while some say it has since been replaced in some subsequent refitting, there are others who claim it remains to this day. Java was burned and sunk. The celebrations in Boston in February 1813 when Constitution arrived in port were even greater than when Hull arrived with the news of Guerriere.
