Next morning, by Dormer's advice, I exercised my men at their guns, and in tacking and veering, and we continued this sort of practice every day, and also manoeuvred the ship in every way that could possibly occur in action. We also saw all our boarding nettings properly fitted, and toggled our lifts and braces, snaked all our stays and backstays, and, in short, did all that experience could devise to make the Black Prince perfectly ready to meet any foe. We also made arrangements in case of fire, and taught our black sail-trimmers how to act in case any necessity might arise for their services being required to extinguish flames in action. All these things took time, and soon after passing the Scillys we met a south-west wind that at first we were able to beat against, but which soon forced us to shorten sail, and after a time we could neither tack nor veer, and had to furl our square-sails, and try under fore and main stay-sails, and to house our jibboom and top gallant-masts, and get the spritsail yard fore and aft. After four days, during which we were unable to open the hatches or light a fire, the gale moderated and the wind drew round to the north-west, so that we were again able to lie our course, and I intended that we should keep well for Finisterre, in order to get a departure; but we had been driven so far to the westward of what I thought, that we were embayed in the Bay of Biscay, and sighted the north coast of Spain some thirty leagues to the eastward of that point. I brought the ship to the wind on the port tack, to make a leg to the northward, and had hardly made above four leagues on that course when the look-out man reported a sail on our lee bow. "Where away?" "Just under the black cloud, sir. She is not...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liza is the nine-year-old daughter of Joseph Barss Jr., captain of the privateer schooner Liverpool Packet. Her father promised she could sail with him sometime, but he won’t take her when he’s privateering, chasing and capturing American merchant ships during the War of 1812. Boys her age go to sea on sailing ships, but everyone says it’s not for girls. Liza’s determination to find a way to sail on a merchant ship may get her into a lot of trouble. Will she risk the danger for the thrill of sailing? During the War of 1812, privateer ships sailing out of Liverpool were licensed by the governor of Nova Scotia to capture American merchant ships along the North Atlantic coast. The privateers helped defend the coast, provided information for the Royal Navy, and disrupted the Americans’ supply line by capturing their merchant ships. The captured ships were brought to Halifax, where the ship and its cargo were auctioned off. In A Privateer's Promise, family life in the early nineteenth century is described through the eyes of a privateer’s young daughter. When privateers were on voyages for months at a time, their families managed the challenges of daily living, while always thinking of the men at sea and hoping for their safe return.
Download or read book The War of 1812 written by Bud Hannings and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-09-03 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the American Revolution ended in 1783, tensions between the United States and Britain over disruptions to American trade, the impressment of American merchant sailors by British ships, and British support of Native American resistance to American expansion erupted in another military conflict nearly three decades later. Scarcely remembered in England today, the War of 1812 stood as a veritable "second war of independence" to the victorious Americans and ushered in an extended period of peaceful relations and trade between the United States and Britain. This major reference work offers a comprehensive day-by-day chronology of the War of 1812, including its slow build-up and aftermath, and provides detailed biographies of the generals who made their marks.

Download or read book The Confederate Privateers written by William Morrison Robinson and published by . This book was released on 1928 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Confederate privateers is a book of action and adventure filled with stories of the Confederacy's privately armed ships and their sea battles with the Union. Called 'pirates' by the North, the South preferred to call them 'gentlemen adventurers', justly boasting of their exploits. Using Naval War records and other archives, the author provides readers with an authentic description of the privateers, their cruises and prizes, their successes and failures, and their ultimate fates. In fact, this is the first narrative history of privateer cruises aboard the Jefferson Davis, the Dixie, the Sally, and the pygmy submarine Pioneer.
