A Most Fortunate Ship: A Narrative History of Old Ironsides. Revised Edition.

Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, Maryland, 1997, revised edition, 3rd printing.. 421 pp, small 4to (10 1/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 1557505888 B&w photographs, reproductions, maps. "After seventeen years of additional research and study, Tyrone G. Martin - captain of the USS Constitution during the nation's bicent ennial celebrations - offers this revised and expanded edition of his famous ship's story, called 'definitive' when the book first appeared in 1980. This new update commemorates the ship's own bicentennial: Constitution was launched in 1797 i n B o s t on Harbor, where she is now preseved as a museum. In this edition the author confirms for the first time that the innovative diagonal riders that ensured the frigate's long life were present at the ship's launching. And he provides de ta il s a bo ut t he ship's participation in battles that have long been ignored or glossed over in official reports. Pictorial battle diagrams based on new research have also been added. The book not only tells Constitution's complete story, bu t a lso p res ent s a pi cture of life in the U.S. Navy during the nineteenth century - its proud moments and those that caused concern. The atuhor includes some fascinating details on the organization, care, feeding, and disciplining of a crew, as w ell as abou t ev ents ser ious, humorous, and tragic that involved such famous names in American history as Edward Preble and Stephen Decatur."
