The Constitution and Java Battle at sea in bold terms
The Constitution matched the Java in seamen and outspeed the English vessel, forcing a fierce exchange. Bainbridge refused to quit after wounds, closing to ruin the Java with raking fire. The Java’s masts fell, its ensign stayed, then fell as the Constitution pressed the fight. The action shifted to two subsequent engagements with British ships Crane and Levant, with Stewart leading bold maneuvers until both foes struck. The Constitution later served as a naval schoolship before being broken up amid public protest led by Wendell Holmes.
