CONWAYS: THE 32-GUN FRIGATE ESSEX: Anatomy of the Ship

On the sucessful competion of the War of Independence, the Amerian navy was disbanded, and it was not until the late 1790s that a regular naval force was reconstituted.Provoked by the need to protect American merchant shipping from the belligerent European nations and the piratical Barbary powers, Congress decided on a programme of frigate building, which included the 32-gun frigate Essex.Designed by William Hackett, Essex was a typical medium frigate of her time. Working from both US and British soures, the author has reconstructed many previously undetermined details of the ship and in passing has rehabilitiated the reputation of the designer as one who was responsible for one of the best balanced frigates of that generation.
