Description
Niles' Weekly Register, 13 May 1826 Splendid ships. The beautiful 64 gun ship, built by Mr. Beacham, for the "South American market," (supposed Brazil), was launched at Baltimore on Thursday last [May 11], without accident or injury. She "sits like a duck" on the water, and is said to be as fine a vessel of her class ever floated. A 64 gun ship, built on the same model, at New York, and also a very superior vessel, has sailed for Carthagena, and it may happen that these fine vessels shall be placed in opposition to one another. The day was fine, and it is thought that nearly 40,000 people were present to witness the launch, which took place within 12 minutes of the time appointed.
