The USS President was one of the "super-frigates" commissioned by the U.S. Congress, causing the British some headaches in the war of 1812. On the 15th of January 1815 the USS President was captured by the British, who were impressed enough to build a replica retaining the name 'President'.

The model shown here has her yards in the raised position since she will carry sails, however you may prefer no sails and the yards can be in lowered storm or rest position.
