USS Portsmouth (1798)

USS Portsmouth (1798)

The first USS "Portsmouth" was a small warship that served in the United States Navy from 1798 to 1801.

"Portsmouth" was built for the new United States Navy in 1798 by James K. Hackett, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with funds contributed by the citizens of Portsmouth.

Commanded by Captain Daniel McNeil, "Portsmouth" operated in the West Indies during the Quasi-War with France in the squadron commanded by Commodore John Barry.

In 1800, she sailed to France to bring back the United States envoys who had concluded peace negotiations with France.

After a second cruise in the Caribbean, "Portsmouth" was sold at Baltimore, Maryland, in 1801.
