Image description

United States Frigate 'President', captained by Stephen Decatur, is pursued by a British HMS Endymion, a 40-gun frigate, Jan. 15, 1815. President's artillery was hindered by a damaged hull. Eventually the Endymion caught up to Decatur, who managed to shoot into her rigging. When two other ships of the British squadron came into cannon range, Decatur surrendered the President. This very detailed painting depicts 22 sailors working to repair the sails
