The capture of USS President was the result of a naval action fought at the end of the War of 1812. After running aground before the engagement, the frigate President, now severely damaged, tried to break out of New York Harbor, but was intercepted by a British squadron of four frigates and forced to surrender after a battle with HMS Endymion.
