[1st Session. |
NUMBER AND DESCRIPTION OF VESSELS-OF-WAR WHICH HAVE ARRIVED AT AND DEPARTED FROM EACH NAVAL DEPOT, NUMBER OF MEN RECRUITED AT EACH STATION, AND THE NUMBER OF VESSELS BUILT AND REPAIRED AT EACH NAVY YARD FROM 1815 TO 1832.
COMMUNICATED TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES MAY 4, 1832.
Navy Department, May 3, 1832.
Sir: In conformity to a resolution of the House of Representatives, passed March 15, 1832, I have the honor to report as follows:
Some of the information desired could be obtained only by opening a correspondence with the commanders of all our navy yards; and part of it has required long and careful examination in the office of the Fourth Auditor. But the results have been condensed, and are now submitted, under each distinct head, with all the correctness practicable, though, without doubt, subject to some unintentional mistakes.
1. "A statement of the number and description of vessels-of-war which have arrived at and departed from each of our naval depots, from January 1, 1815, to January 1, 1832," is annexed, marked A.
2. A statement of "the number of seamen recruited in the same term at each station, for the naval service, with the annual expense of transporting the same," is annexed, marked B.
3. A statement of "the number and description of vessels-of-war built and repaired since the late war, at each navy yard in the United States," is annexed, marked C.
4. A statement of such "of said vessels, during the periods above mentioned, as have arrived at any naval depots and other ports, to which they were not ordered, and the reasons thereof," is annexed, marked D.
5. A statement of "the length of time a rendezvous has been kept open, for the recruiting of seamen, at each of the said naval depots," is annexed, marked E.
6. A statement of "the difference in the expense, (if any,) which has attended the building and repairing vessels-of-war, at the several naval depots, during the periods mentioned," is annexed, marked P.
A more detailed and very full report, bearing on this last statement, (as well as other subjects,) up to A. D. 1826, was made by this Department, February 9, 1821, to the Senate of the United States. Those parts particularly applicable to this last statement will be found in tables A, B, and C, annexed to that report, printed by order of the Senate, February 12, 1827, (document No. 54.)
All which is respectfully submitted.
LEVI WOODBURY.
The Hon. Andrew Stevenson, Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The accompanying statement will give this information more in detail.
This office was established in March, 1817, and its files do not in general extend back beyond the 1st January of that year. Consequently these statements do not embrace the years 1815 and 1816.
Nor do I vouch for the entire accuracy of this information. It is necessarily collected from vouchers filed in agents', pursers', and other officers' accounts, and it is probable some items may have been overlooked.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant, AMOS KENDALL.
Hon. Levi Woodbury, Secretary of the Navy.
Note.—Since this letter was written I have seen a report of Commodore Chauncey, embracing the years 1815 and 1816, which represents the number of seamen recruited at New York, within the time specified in the resolution, to have been 14,272, which I have no doubt is very near the true number.

The only cases ascertained by the Department of any vessels, during the period from 1st January, 1815, to the 1st of January, 1832, that arrived at any naval depots, and other ports to which they were not ordered, and the reasons thereof, are as follows:
The Macedonian, frigate of 36 guns, which had sailed on the 20th September, 1818, for the Pacific ocean, put into the port of Norfolk on the 10th October, 1818, in consequence of the damage sustained from a violent gale at sea.
The frigate Constellation, on the 2d of August, 1831, was ordered to return to the United States; but not to leave the Mediterranean station until November, in case the commander of the squadron—who was in ill health—did not himself return in her. She was directed to put into Portsmouth, N. H., Boston, or New York, as the state of the weather or season, on her arrival off the coast, might render more safe or convenient. She, however, left the Mediterranean early in October, under the command of Captain Wadsworth, who came home in her, and put into the port of Norfolk, Va. From the letters of Commodore Biddle and Captain Wadsworth, it appears that the orders alluded to had not been received when she sailed.
E.
Statement of the length of time a rendezvous has been kept open for the recruiting of seamen, at each naval depot, so far as ascertained: but from the imperfect returns on file, especially before A. D. 1825, the length of time at some of the rendezvous must probably have been somewhat longer.

Navy Commissioners' Office, March 20, 1832.
Sir:
The Commissioners of the Navy duly received your letter of the 16th instant.
On the 13th instant, they had the honor of reporting "the number and description of vessels-of-war built and repaired since the late war at each navy yard in the United States;" and, as to "difference in the expenses (if any) which has attended the building and repairing vessels-of-war at the several naval depots," they would respectfully observe that, under the system pursued in procuring supplies, it would be extremely difficult, if not impracticable, to state with any precision any differences that may exist in such expenses at the different yards. If the places where vessels are built or repaired furnished all the materials and labor necessary in building or repairing, and the vessels were of the same size, constructed upon the same principle, and required the same degree of repair, then a satisfactory estimate might be
--141--
formed as to the differences in the expense of building or repairing them at the several navy yards. But when supplies are required for either of these purposes, or indeed for any other navy purpose, the practice has been to advertise for them, and to contract with the lowest bidder, without regard to his residence; hence we have never procured at any one place all the materials required in the construction or repair of any one of our vessels.
As to the labor necessary, we should greatly err were we to assume the per diem wages as the criterion by which to judge of the relative expense of building or repairing vessels at the several navy yards—so much depends upon the quantum of labor performed by each individual, and upon the different periods of the year when it is required to be done. Still, however, the labor may be estimated with more accuracy than the materials.
The ten sloops-of-war, built a few years since, cost, in materials and labor, as follows:
