STEPHEN DECATUR
Stephen Decatur was the most con-
spicuous figure in the Naval history
of the United States during the hun
dred years between John Paul Jones
and Farragut. In at least three of
our early wars he was the hero of
half a dozen adventurous engage
ments, any of which would have given
him place among his new country's
immortals.
Born at Sinepuxent, Worcester
County, Maryland, in ITO, whence
his father had migrated during the
British occupation of Philadelphia,
he made his first sea voyage to Bor'
deaux when only eight years old. His
early training was in his fathers ship
building business and he actually
worked at getting out the keel pieces
of what was to become the famous
frigate UNITED STATES, ship Of
the line Boosting A guns. AS Com
modore in the American Navy at 80
he was to transfer his flag to this
same ship, after having served il
