Wiscasset-native William Long first served aboard USS Constitution as an able seaman during the War of 1812. After sustaining a disabling wound in battle, he re-enlisted as the ship's cook. The cook had more of a supervisory role and did not actually make original meals from scratch. Instead, he oversaw the steep tub where salt meat soaked, tended the fire in the camboose, and oversaw the scouring of the copper boilers in which the crew's rations were prepared.
