	Stewart went to sea at the age of thirteen as a cabin boy and rose through the grades to become Master of Merchantman. During the Quasi-War with France, Stewart was commissioned a Lieutenant in the United States Navy on March 9 1798 and joined the Frigate UNITED STATES for a cruise in the West Indies. He took command of the Schooner EXPERIMENT on July 16 1800 and soon captured two armed French vessels and freed several captured American ships. After brief command of CHESAPEAKE in 1801 and service in [[CONSTELLATION IX 20\|USS CONSTELLATION]] in 1802, Stewart sailed to the Mediterranean in command of the Brig SIREN. There he participated in the destruction of PHILLAELPHIA after her capture by Tripoli, helped to maintain the blockade of Tripoli, and distinguished himself in assaults on the enemy in August and September 1804. After the war, he participated in a show of force at Tunis and returned home as Captain in 1806. On the outbreak of war in 1812, Stewart commanded, successively, ARGUS, HORNET, and CONSTELLATION. But, as the latter was closely blockaded in Norfolk, he took command of [[CONSTITUTION_(None) \| USS CONSTITUTION]] at Boston in 1813. He made two brilliant cruises in her between 1813 and 1815. The frigate captured HMS CYANE and HMS LEVANT on February 20 1815. Stewart's later service included command of a squadron in the Mediterranean from 1816 to 1820 and of one in the Pacific from 1820 to 1824. He served as a Naval Commissioner from 1830 to 1832 and commanded the Philadelphia Navy Yard from 1838 to 1841, in 1846, and again from 1854 to 1861. By a bill passed on March 2 1859, Congress made Stewart "Senior Flag Officer," an office created for him in recognition of his distinguished and meritorious service. He became Rear Admiral on the retired list on July 16 1862, and he died at Bordentown, N.J., on November 6 1869		Stewart went to sea at the age of thirteen as a cabin boy and rose through the grades to become Master of Merchantman.

its lifetime.

<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner).
Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date
range for covers on that page.

</ol>
<p> </p>

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a
separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. Within each set,
the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one
postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of
earliest known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
<br/> <br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.
