Cut from American movie "The Seekers" 1979.

USS Constitution vs HMS Guerriere was an action between the two ships during the War of 1812, approximately 400 miles southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. It took place shortly after war had broken out. Guerriere had been detached from a squadron which had earlier failed to capture Constitution and was proceeding to Halifax for a refit. When Guerriere encountered Constitution again, Captain James Richard Dacres engaged, confident of victory despite the American ship being larger and more heavily armed. During the exchange of broadsides, Guerriere was dismasted and reduced to a sinking condition. The Americans removed the crew and set Guerriere on fire before returning to Boston with news of the victory, which proved to be important for American morale.
