Ordered on a cruise intended to last at least six months, the USS Constitution USS Constitution sailed on 30 December 1813, with 485 men provisioned as follows border 1 Quantity 76,234 pounds 34,579 kg of bread 51,969 pounds 23,573 kg of beef 39,840 pounds 18,071 kg of pork 12,544 pounds 5,690 kg of flour 2,174 pounds 986 kg of cheese 1765.5 pounds 801 kg of butter 360 pounds 163 kg of raisins 1286.4 gallons 4,869.6 l of peas beans 1316.9 gallons 4,985 l of rice 870 gallons 3,293.3 l of molasses 796.6 gallons 3,015.5 l of vinegar 800 gallons 3,028.3 l of crout sic 5,074.1 gallons 19,207.6 l of spirits 47,265 gallons 178,917.5 l of water Beef was stowed on the Port nautical larboard side and pork to starboard flour, rice, and peas beans in the wings.
