Old Modern Handicrafts USS Constellation Collectible Dimenssion: L: 38 W: 12 H: 34 InchesHistory: On 27 March 1794, the United States Congress passed the Naval Act of 1794, which provided for building the US Navy its first new ships: the frigates Chesapeake, Congress, Constellation, Constitution, President, and United States. Constellation was the first to be commissioned. Constellation was built at Harris Creek Shipyard in Baltimores Fells Point and launched on 7 September 1797, just as the United States entered the Quasi-War with France. In February 1800 Constellation fought a night encounter with the frigate La Vengeance of 54 guns. Constellation was victorious after a five-hour battle. Since the encounter, the Constellations incredible speed and power inspired the French to nickname her the \Yankee Racehorse.
