USS HANNAH
The schooner Hannah was
the first vessel of the United States Navy. She
was the first armed American naval vessel of the
American Revolution, authorized by the Continental
Congress and operated by the Continental Army.
Hannah was acquired on August 24, 1775. Her first
captain was Nicholson Broughton, a captain in the Army.
She was utilized to aid George Washington in the siege
of Boston by capturing provision ships making for the
harbor from British ports. On September 7, Hannah
captured the Royal Navy sloop Unity with naval stores
and provisions.
The USS Hannah's brief
naval career ended on 10 October 1775, when she was run
aground near Beverly by the British
sloop Nautilus. After a 4 hour engagement between the
British ship and Beverly and Salem militias on the
shore, Hannah was saved from destruction. Nautilus was
badly damaged, but managed to escape. According to
the New England Chronicle dated 12 October 1775, "...no
lives were lost on our side, and the Privateer [Hannah]
was damaged little if any".
Hannah was a fishing
schooner owned by John Glover of Marblehead,
Massachusetts and was named for his daughter Hannah. The
crew was drawn largely from the town of Marblehead, with
much of the ships ammunition being stored in Glover's
warehouse.
