The ship was sold at auction and continued for at least a decade as a merchantman. However, six US Navy ships would eventually carry the name. ==Battle== On 5 September 1813, the USS ''Enterprise'' with fourteen 18-pound carronades and two-9 pound long guns and 102 men sighted HMS ''Boxer'' with twelve 18-pound carronades and two 9 pound long guns and 66 men off Pemaquid Point, Maine, and closed on the enemy brig. Local tradition holds that the ensuing battle was visible from the rooftop of a house on Metinic Island. Interestingly, ''Boxer'' was in the area having for a fee escorted an American merchantman with Swedish papers from New Brunswick to the Kennebec River. British Commander Samuel Blyth prepared for a fight to the finish, nailing one's flag to the foremast. In the ''Enterprise'', Lieutenant William Burrows demonstrated similar resolve. He moved one of his two long 9-pounders from the bow to a stern port, declaring: " We are going to fight both ends and both sides of this ship as long as the ends and the sides hold together." The two brigs opened fire, and Blyth was killed during the initial fusillade, and Burrows suffered a mortal wound moments later. The fierce contest ended in 30 minutes with HMS ''Boxer'' in ruins. Command of the ''Enterprise'' passed to Lieutenant Edward McCall, while Lieutenant David McGrery assumed command of the battered HMS ''Boxer''. The dying Lieutenant Burrows declined to accept Commander Blyth's sword, directing it be sent to the family of the dead British captain. "I am satisfied, I die contented," Lieutenant Burrows exclaimed. McCall went into nearby Portland, Maine with the two ships and the casualties. A court martial later found that a number of British seamen had deserted their quarters during the action.〔Lohnes (1973), p.326.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Capture of HMS Boxer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
