About the Item

Battle Of The USS Constitution - Original Oil On Canvas Original oil painting depicting the battle of USS Constitution and HMS Guerriere. The two ships can be seen out at sea with fire ablaze. Signed "Hoffman" lower right. Presented in a giltwood frame. Frame: 13"H x 15"W Image: 7.5"H x 9.5"W USS Constitution vs HMS Guerriere was a battle between an American and British ship during the War of 1812, about 400 miles (640 km) southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. It took place on the 19th of August 1812, one month after the war's first engagement between British and American forces. Guerriere was proceeding to Halifax for a refit, having been detached from a squadron which had earlier failed to capture Constitution. When the two ships encountered each other on August 19th, Guerriere's Captain James Richard Dacres engaged, confident of victory despite facing a bigger, stronger-manned, and better-armed U.S. ship. However, in the exchange of broadsides, Guerriere's masts were felled, and the ship reduced to a sinking condition. Constitution's crew took the British sailors on board and set Guerriere on fire, then returned to Boston with news of the victory, which proved to be important for American morale.
