Reviews
"As with the other Osprey Publishing titles I was impressed with this book. This is a very nice reference book that contains a well written informative text, subject specific photographs and illustrations, well detailed captions and more, all detailing the history of various Revolutionary War naval ships used by the privateers." - Model Ship Wrights.com "This book is a nice introduction to an oft-neglected slice of 18th century naval history. Unfortunately, it is marred by poor documentation of sources. The twelve paintings by Paul Wright alone are worth the cost of the book." - IMPS / USA Reviews

Synopsis
In 1775, Jeremiah O'Brien's privateer Unity fired the first shots of the Revolutionary War at sea, capturing a British armed schooner with just 40 men, their guns, axes and pitchforks, and the cry "Surrender to America." Struggling for independence against the world's mightiest naval power, Congress issued almost 800 letters of marque during the war, enlisting ordinary American sailors in the battle against the British. At first, it was only fishermen and the skippers of small merchant ships who turned to privateering, with mixed results. But by the end of the war, the largest American privateers could range the oceans, and were more powerful than most warships in the fledgling US Navy. Hundreds of vital British ships and thousands of men fell prey to the privateers' campaign. This fascinating book traces the development of these remarkable ships, explains the war that they fought against British merchantmen and warships, and unveils how they played such a significant role in America's victory. Book jacket., This title explores the ships and history of the enterprising American patriots who fought the Royal Navy as privateers, and played a major part in winning the Revolutionary War at sea., During the American War of Independence (1775-83), Congress issued almost 800 letters of marque, as a way of combating Britain's overwhelming naval and mercantile superiority. At first, it was only fishermen and the skippers of small merchant ships who turned to privateering, with mixed results. Eventually though, American shipyards began to turn out specially-converted ships, while later still, the first purpose-built privateers entered the fray. These American privateers seized more than 600 British merchant ships over the course of the war, capturing thousands of British seamen. Indeed, Jeremiah O'Brien's privateer Unity fought the first sea engagement of the Revolutionary War in the Battle of Machias of 1775, managing to capture a British armed schooner with just 40 men, their guns, axes and pitchforks, and the words ' Surrender to America'. By the end of the war, some of the largest American privateers could venture as far as the British Isles, and were more powerful than most contemporary warships in the fledgling US Navy. A small number of Loyalist privateers also put to sea during the war, and preyed on the shipping of their rebel countrymen. Packed with fascinating insights into the age of privateers, this book traces the development of these remarkable ships, and explains how they made such a significant contribution to the American Revolutionary War., This title explores the ships and history of the enterprising American patriots who fought the Royal Navy as privateers, and played a major part in winning the Revolutionary War at sea.
