James Lawrence's command, spoken as his final fighting words in the
historic 1813 battle between the USS Chesapeake and the HMS
Shannon, would endure as the motto of the U.S. Navy. He lost the
battle, however, and a large portion of the Chesapeake was recycled
by the ship breakers of Portsmouth, England, until her timbers gave
form and size to a new water mill in the village of Wickham. Almost
two hundred years later, the old mill sat derelict, an eyesore.
What was it made of? Where had it come from? Why should it be
preserved? It was then that the sails of a long-forgotten fighting
ship were seemingly unfurled along the Meon River in the County of
Hampshire, and the old navy frigate having crossed the waters of
America, Canada and England set off on the third century of her
enduring journey.
