About the book
"The War of 1812 saw the Royal Navy wreak havoc on Chesapeake Bay, nearly destroying the region's economy. An American naval force was scraped together. Capt. Joshua Barney's Chesapeake Flotilla, with great gallantry, challenged the better-equipped British. Although it was ultimately defeated, its efforts were not in vain. Marine archaeologist Shomette, who directed excavation of the flotilla's flagship, here revises a book he originally published in 1981 and includes further information on the officers, crew, and boats making up the flotilla and on the region's experience of war. This is detailed history for serious readers on the subject."--Library Journal.
