Our Cover:

The last capture of a ship (an American slaver) by the frigate USS Constitution--the two-hundredth anniversary of whose launching, and 199th of whose first underway period, are being observed this summer. For a great deal more information about the ship and about this issue's cover painting by William Gilkerson, see Mr. Gilkerson's and Cdr. Tyrone Martin's essay in our "Set and Drift" department.
