ISBN: 9780764338182 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For many, the Chesapeake Bay has an aura of historical romance and high adventure.

On April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson issued a national call to arms against Imperial Germany. What followed in the United States was a frenzied effort to build hundreds of merchant ships to replace those being destroyed in Germany's campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare. The newly created U.S. Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation embarked on a course that, in the span of a few pivotal years in American history, came to exhibit mankind's genius, ignorance, avarice, drive--and folly--for the largest portion of that fleet came to rest on the muddy floor of Mallows Bay. In Ghost...

Pirates on the Chesapeake: Being a True History of Pirates, Picaroons, and Raiders on the Chesapeake Bay, 1610-1807
ISBN: 9780870336072 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A dazzling array of swashbuckling pirates, picaroons, and sea rovers are pitted against the often feckless representatives of an outpost government authority in the Chesapeake Bay region.

In between lies a full panoply of violent and bizarre buccaneering incidents that one is hard pressed to imagine from the vantage point of the twenty-first century. Documented by impressive...
