Guide To The American Revolutionary War At Sea eBook

The Guide to the American Revolutionary War at Sea and Overseas chronicles more than 10,500 actions -- far more than other naval histories. Vol. 2 documents 1496 of them which occurred in 1777. It includes the actions of the Continental and state navies, the French and British navies, the actions of American and British privateers and those of their allies.

 In addition to the engagements in the Atlantic Ocean, along the American and European coasts and in the West Indies, there are accounts of actions in the South Pacific, the Mediterranean and North Seas and the Indian Ocean.

The accounts are arranged chronologically and are drawn from ship’s logs, prize lists, Admiralty court and auction records, newspaper accounts, letters, diaries, personal journals and pension applications.
