History of the USS Hannah<\/em><\/h2>

The fishing schooner, Hannah<\/em>, owned by John Glover of Marblehead, Massachusetts, was named for Glover\u2019s daughter.\u00a0 General George Washington commissioned Nicholson Broughton to command the hired Hannah<\/em> as the first vessel in service of the American Continental Army.<\/p>

Sailing on 5 September 1775, Hannah took shelter in the harbor of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and was in pursuit of the HMS Lively<\/em> and a second British vessel two days later.\u00a0 Hannah captured HMS Unity<\/em> leaving Gloucester Harbor.<\/p>

Hannah\u2019s<\/em> brief naval career ended on October 10, 1775, when she was run aground under the guns of a small American fort near Beverly by the British sloop Nautilus<\/em>. After an engagement between the British ship and townspeople on the shore, Hannah<\/em> was saved from destruction and capture, but was soon decommissioned as General Washington found more suitable ships for his cruisers.<\/p>

History remembers the Hannah<\/em> and her port in Marblehead, Mass. as the birth place of the United States Navy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
