The Warren whalers were the last vessels of the class owned in Rhode Island. At one time the fleet numbered about thirty. The ship-yards of the town in other days turned out some very remarkable vessels. The United States frigate " General Greene, " of 600 tons burden, was launched from the yard of Cromwell & Child. Her cost, when completed and fitted for sea, was $105, - 492. 32. She sailed from the port in 1799. In 1814 she happened to be lying at the Washington Navy Yard when that city was a...ttacked by the British, and was destroyed, to prevent her from fall- ing into their hands. The United States sloop-of-war " Chippewa " was built by Capt. Caleb Carr. Captain Carr contracted with the Government to build this vessel in the shortest time possible. Fifty- seven days after her keel was laid he delivered her to Com. O. H. Perry, ready for her rigging and armament. From Captain Carr's yard was also launched the famous Bristol privateer, "Macdonough, " of 300 tons burden. The " Macdonough " was celebrated for her wonderful speed.
