This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charlestown Navy Yard: Boston National Historical Park, Massachusetts Even allowing for Bainbridge's penchant for the dramatic, his description was accu rate. The buildings were too few, too small, and in need of repair. The timber needed to complete the repair of the frigate Chesapeake was decayed beyond use. But most pressing was the need for a large stone wharf and building slip. Here was a naval shipyard that could not service a Sloop-of-war, let alone build a large frigate or ship-of-the-line. Small vessels could tie up at the modest wooden wharf, but the yard had to rent private wharves for repairing warships. Chesapeake had been languishing since 1809 in a rented berth at $1500 a year.
