Chronicles of the Frigate Macedonian: 1809-1922
ISBN: 9780393320244 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) His Majesty's Frigate Macedonian was launched at Woolwich in 1810, at the height of the wars against Napoleon; its remains, refashioned as a seaside hotel, burned in the Bronx in 1922. It is barely remembered now, but in its time the Macedonian was recognized as the most important prize ever taken by the American navy--a distinction it holds to this day. The history of this one ship, recommissioned USS Macedonian after its capture from the British in the War of 1812, is an engrossing tale filled with battles, chases, near mutiny, and an engaging cast of commanders.

The Battle of Stonington: Torpedoes, Submarines, and Rockets in the War of 1812
ISBN: 9781591142027 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the summer of 1814 a squadron of Royal Navy ships attacked the tiny Connecticut seaport of Stonington, and declared its intention of destroying the town. Over the next four days the British barraged the nearly defenseless civilian population with some fifty tons of explosives, before mysteriously upping anchor and sailing away, leaving Stonington largely intact.
