Bath Man Helped Build the Old Frigate Constitution in 1794
A Bath man named Nathaniel Brown commanded joiner work on the Constitution during its Portsmouth building (1794 97), and may have overseen other Bath joiners. The piece notes Bath’s historical stake in the ship and mentions a 1815 letter from Brown to Commodore Hull about joiners for the seventy four gun ship New Hampshire. The context links Bath’s past to ongoing restoration led by Lieut. John A. Lord with fifteen Bath workers.
