[1] On 7 November 1798, Constitution, under the command of Lieutenant John Whiston, was among the vessels that participated in the capture of Minorca.
[5] When Unicorn captured the French brig St Antoine, on 9 June 1799, Constitution, was entitled to share in the proceeds.
She had been on a voyage from Havana to Hamburg with a cargo of sugar, coffee, indigo, and cotton, supposedly Spanish property, when Constitution detained her.
[7] Constitution and the hired armed cutter Penelope shared in the proceeds of the capture of the Danish brig Neptunus.
Immortalite, Harpy, Adder, and Constitution attacked a French flotilla of 60 brigs and luggers off Cape Gris Nez.
[13] Constitution was chasing a gun-brig, of 12 guns, and two lugger-rigged yachts, painted with white bottoms and green sides, and richly gilt, supposedly carrying some important officers.
When Constitution got close enough to fire grapeshot from her carronades, the luggers lowered their sails and masts, and their crews rowed as fast as possible for the shore.
Water started coming in faster than the pumps could handle and her crew abandoned her; the other vessels in the squadron rescued them.
