Product Description
The first volume in this new warship series features the only complete compilation of American warships from the American Revolution and quasi-war with France through U.S. actions against the Barbary coast, the War of 1812, and the Mexican War. Important details for each ship, including even the lesser known and smaller vessels of the fleet, are listed in convenient tabular format. Entries provide information on ship size, where and when it was built, and its naval service. Historical details include actions fought, campaigns, damages sustained in peace and war with number killed, prizes taken and ships sunk, dates of commissioning and length of service, names used in the merchant marine and other services, and finally the ultimate fate of each ship. This is the first time researchers will find such a variety of information in a single volume. The book also offers a section on the early steam vessels that the U.S. Navy started acquiring after 1812. The ships on Lake Champlain, Ontario, and Erie are listed separately. Additional sections cover the Revenue Cutter Service and the Texas navy. Known for his attention to detail and the accuracy of his work, the author spent years of research on this project that is certain to become a permanent addition to both personal and public libraries of early American naval history.
