Les-

You're usually quite accurate in your discussions of the War of 1812 but I'm not aware of any battle between the United States and Endymion. The United States did capture the Macedonia (October 25, 1812) and later brought her prize to Newport.

The battle was fought at relatively long range and the superiority of the United State's gunnery was quite evident. The relative balance of the two ships was similar to that of the Constiution and the Guerriere.

Perhaps you meant the battle between the President and the Endymion in 1814.

Cheerily,
