Hogan 196kSeaman Daniel Hogan entered the Navy on board the schooner Revenge at Boston, Mass., in 1811 and transferred to frigate Constitution 18 February 1812. During the War of 1812 he won distinction on board Constitution in an engagement with the British frigate HMS Guerriere. When Constitution's flag was shot away from the main topgallant masthead, Hogan climbed the rigging and lashed the colors to the masthead. In later action the Constitution defeated and destroyed HMS Java off the coast of Brazil on 29 December 1812. Hogan was severely wounded, losing the fingers of both hands. He died 1 September 1818.
