Mediterranean and South Atlantic Ocean operations
Congress was launched at the Portsmouth Navy Yard on 16 August 1841 and placed in commission under Captain Philip Voorhees on 7 May 1842. Her first cruise — starting on 15 July — took her to the Mediterranean for service with the Squadron of Commodores Charles W. Morgan and Charles Morris.
In December 1843, Voorhees joined Commodore Daniel Turner's Brazil Squadron blockading Montevideo in safeguarding U.S. trade during the Uruguayan Civil War. Generally, the U.S. Navy stayed aloof from lower-South American troubles.
However, on 29 September 1844, Voorhees captured an armed Argentine schooner that delivered a mail to the Argentine commanding officer.[1] This overreaction damaged the US-Argentina relation and resulted in a court martial for Vorhees. His impetuosity resulted in a few months suspension, for Voorheees, but did little damage to his career.[2]
Congress remained active in the theatre until January 1845. She was then placed in ordinary at Norfolk, Virginia in March.
