"The Gemini IV spacecraft appears to be in good shape after being lifted aboard the aircraft carrier USS WASP after traveling over 1, 600,000 miles around the Earth in 62 revolutions in 97 hours and 56 minutes.
The red carpet treatment is given astronauts Edward H. White II and James A. McDivitt as they arrive on the flight deck of USS Wasp after their record breaking 62-revolution, 97-hour and 56-minute flight which ended in the Atlantic Ocean about 400 miles east of Cape Kennedy at 12:12 p.m. (EST). Here they are shown being welcomed by members of the crew and NASA people. White and McDivitt (center) walk on the red carpet flanked by Capt. J.W. Conger (left), commander of the ship; and Rear Adm. W.M. McCormick, commander, Carrier Division 14, Atlantic Fleet. NASA's Gemini-4 flight landed about 48 miles short of the aircraft carrier."

The Wasp and the Frolic (detail), 1820 painting by Thomas Birch (Philadelphia Museum of Art)
The 18-gun sloop of war USS Wasp set sail from Delaware on 13 October 1812. After being caught in a gale she sighted a small convoy of merchant ships escorted by a single 18-gun brig sloop, HMS Frolic. In heavy seas, the two ships battled on 18 October. Wasp prevailed and captured Frolic as her prize, but the victory was short-lived as the British ship of the line HMS Poictiers appeared and easily re-captured Frolic as well as the battered American sloop, who was unable to flee with her rigging and sails badly damaged.
