USS Somers (1842)
The second USS ''Somers'' was a brig in the United States Navy during the John Tyler administration which became infamous for being the only U.S. Navy ship to undergo a mutiny which led to executions.
''Somers'' was launched by the New York Navy Yard on 16 April 1842 and commissioned on 12 May 1842, with Commander Alexander Slidell Mackenzie in command.
==Initial cruise==
After a shakedown cruise in June–July to the Spanish colony of Puerto Rico and back, the new brig sailed out of New York harbor on 13 September 1842 bound for the Atlantic coast of Africa with dispatches for frigate . On this voyage, ''Somers'' was acting as an experimental schoolship for naval apprentices.
After calls at Madeira, Tenerife, and Praia, looking for ''Vandalia'', ''Somers'' arrived at Monrovia, Liberia on 10 November and learned that the frigate had already sailed for home. The next day, Cdr. Mackenzie headed for the Virgin Islands hoping to meet ''Vandalia'' at St. Thomas before returning to New York.
