No ship-wright ever build a ship with the intention of it being used as a pirate ship. (excepting the military of course). Figure-heads use to be a common feature of most ships as an appeasement to the spirits of the sea, sea Gods, ect.

What were the original intentions and actual results of Jefferson's embargo?

Jefferson instituted the embargo of 1807 in response to the impressment of American sailors by Britain. Outraged, Americans called for a war with Britain. The embargo was enacted as a chastisement of Britain and France to force them to respect American neutrality, cease impressment and end the attacks on American ships. The result, however, was an economic disaster for the United States, which resulted in great wins by the opposing Federalist party.

Which president fought a war with pirates?

The Barbary Pirates were North Africans who captured, looted and sank American merchant ships. In order for the ships to get by the merchant ships had been paying a tribute to them, but Jefferson was elected President in 1800 and declared he would not pay one penny as tribute to the pirates. Therefore, he sent a battleship to end the blockade. However, the ship was sunk and another ship was captured. Jefferson payed $60,000 in ransom for the ship and its crew and signed a peace treaty with the pirates. This ordeal humiliated the United States but also made Jefferson realize the need for a naval force.
