The Revolutionary War brig Fair
American is based on Model No. 60 in the Henry
Huddleston Rogers ship model collection now on exhibit
at the U.S. Naval Academy Museum in Annapolis, MD.
The model was made by the British Admiralty after the
vessel's capture to study her fine hull form and
enormous rig.
The Fair American participated in the General
Monk - Hyder Ally engagement of April, 1782. At
the time of the engagement, the brig was under English
colors, having been captured from the revolutionaries a
year before. She was retaken by the Americans
in the course of pursuing the Hyder Ally's convoy up the
Delaware river. The Rogers model is an
important example of her period.
