A mutiny attempt on the frigate Congress?



Item # 702803

April 28, 1800

THE CONNECTICUT COURANT, Hartford, April 28, 1800  Page 3 has an interesting report headed: "Mutiny - On Road the Congress Frigate" with the text beginning: "On the 4th inst. a most serious & alarming mutiny broke out on board the Congress frigate, of 36 runs, lying at Craney Island..." with more detail. It appears an all-out mutiny was averted. We can find nothing about this event online.
Four pages, damp staining to the top portion, good condition.

Item from our most recent catalog - #361, released for December, 2025
