Welcome to Litsy!

The American naval war during the American Revolution wasn‘t fought by a navy (excluding the French Navy), but by privateers who saw profit in securing a percentage of the cargo of any British ship taken. This book details the story of those privateers, their successes and the failures. An interesting book. Signed copy.
