Model of Schooner Vixen:
The schooner Vixen was designed specifically for operations in the shoal waters off the coast of North Africa. She was launched in June 1803 in Baltimore and participated in all the attacks on Tripoli in August 1804. The following month, she was re-rigged as a brig. In November 1812, Vixen was chased and captured by a British frigate. |
