In Boston, Captrain Isaac Hull takes Constitution to sea, intending to cruise off Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Ship's Surgeon Amos Evans records in his journal: "Got under weigh [sic] at 5 o'clock A.M. and passed the light house about 6. Stood N.E., wind S. & W. and pleasant. Saw at one time 50 sail of vessels, most of them small. Lost sight of land in the afternoon. Spoke a ship from Ireland with passengers."
