DESCRIPTION The first USS Essex of the United States Navy was a 32-gun sailing frigate that participated in the Quasi-War with France, the First Barbary War, and in the War of 1812. The British captured her in 1814 and she then served as HMS Essex until sold at public auction on 6 June 1837. The frigate was built by Enos Briggs, Salem, Massachusetts, at a cost of $139,362 subscribed by the people of Salem and Essex County. USS ESSEX was armed with mostly short-range carronades that could not hope to match the range of 18- and 24-pounder naval guns of other enemy ships, ,but her speed made her a leathal asset to the fleet. She was launched on 30 September 1799. On 17 December 1799 she was presented to the United States Navy and accepted by Captain Edward Preble.
