Boston was built by public subscription in Boston under the Act of 30 June 1798. She was launched on 20 May 1799 by Edmund Hartt, Boston, Massachusetts, and commissioned soon afterwards, Captain George Little in command. Boston cruised in the West Indies (July 1799–June 1800) protecting American commerce against French privateers. Returning to Boston 25 June 1800, she cruised along the American coast until September when she sailed to the Guadeloupe Station in the West Indies.
