Accession: 2014.063 Congressional Medal, Obverse Silver Commodore Isaac Hull of Derby, Connecticut, was serving as commander of the U.S. frigate Constitution when she engaged HMS Guerriere in the Atlantic Ocean on 19 August 1812. For his actions in that fight, the Congressional Gold Medal citation states, “Soon after the vessels fell apart, Guerriere’s main-mast fell into the sea, bringing down the fore-mast, and an enormous weight of yards and rigging. Captain [James] Dacres reluctantly surrendered and [Guerriere] was too badly injured to be saved. Guerriere was set on fire and blown up after her men were removed.” In this way, Commodore Hull stood the watch for our country. Silver medals were sometimes awarded to officers serving under the commanders. It is unclear due to a lack of provenance whether this medal was one of those awarded or if it is a silver restrike of the medal. Collection of Curator Branch: Naval History and Heritage Command. |
