John Collins Long

LONG, John Collins, naval officer, born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1795; died in North Conway, New Hampshire, 2 September, 1865. He entered the navy as midshipman, 18 June, 1812, and served in the "Constitution" in her action with the "Java." He was promoted lieutenant, 5 March, 1817, commander, 25 February, 1838, captain, 2 March, 1849, and commodore on the retired list, 16 July, 1862. He was assigned the duty of bringing Louis Kossuth to this country, but would not allow him to deliver revolutionary harangues at Marseilles, which so annoyed the Hungarian patriot that he left the ship at Gibraltar. Commodore Long was fifty-three years in the service.
