Beschreibung
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Andrew Sterett
(January 27, 1778 - June 9, 1807) was an officer in the United States
Navy during the nation's early days. He saw combat during the Quasi-War
with France and in the Barbary Wars, commanding the schooner USS
Enterprise in both conflicts. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, he was the
son of John Sterett, a former Revolutionary War captain and a successful
shipping merchant. The fourth of ten children, Andrew Sterett
nevertheless inherited a sizable amount of money. Despite this, he
resolved to join the Navy, and was commissioned as a lieutenant on 25
March 1798. Sterett had been senior in rank to Decatur, but due to their
comparative length of service, as of 1803, Decatur was selected to be
promoted above Sterett. Sterett therefore resigned from the Navy, on 29
June 1805, to join the merchant marine. He died in Lima, Peru at the age
of twenty-nine.
