Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STEWART, CHARLES (17781869) , American naval officer, was born at Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania
 , on the 28th of July 1778, of poor Irish parents. At the age of thirteen he shipped as cabin boy on a merchant vessel, and soon commanded a ship in the India trade. He entered the United States navy in March 1798 as lieutenant on the frigate " United States," and in 1800, when in command of the " Experiment," took the French privateers " Deux Amis " and " Diane." In 18024 he served against
Tripoli
 , first as executive officer of the " Constellation " and then as
commander
  of the " Siren." In 18o6 he became a captain. From 18o8 to 1812 he was in the merchant service, but on the outbreak of hostilities against
Great
  Britain returned to the navy, and with
Commander
  William Bainbridge is said to have persuaded President Madison to send the navy to sea instead of using it only for harbour defence. Placed in the command of the " Constellation," he was closely blockaded at Norfolk, Virginia. In 1813 he was placed in command of the " Constitution," and in February 1815 captured the " Cyane " and the " Levant," though the" Levant "was retaken. Later he commanded the Mediterranean
squadron
 , the Pacific
squadron
 , the
home
  squadron and the Philadelphia navy yard. He was retired in 18J5, and became rear-admiral on the retired
list
  in 1862. He died in Bordentown, New
Jersey
 , on the 6th of November 1869. His daughter, Delia Tudor, married, in 1834, John
Henry
  Parnell, and became the mother of the Irish leader. Charles Stewart Parnell.
