About This Item
[The Mediterranean], January to May, 1827.. [20]pp. Folio. Contemporary paper wrappers, stitched. Light wear and soiling to covers. Internally clean. Very good. A detailed record of consumable requirements of the U.S.S. North Carolina's four major departments during part of her time with the Mediterranean squadron. The North Carolina was laid down in Philadelphia in 1818 and fitted out in 1820. Carrying seventy-four guns, she was the most powerful ship of her day, and for a decade was the symbol of American naval might. In the Mediterranean she served as the flagship for Commodore John Rodgers from 1825 to 1827. Matthew Perry as "Captain, U.S. Mediterranean Fleet" has signed each of the twenty-eight entries, certifying them. A few entries may be signed by the respective department heads; however, most signatures other than that of Perry are in a clerk's hand.
