Description

The Great Lakes Warships 1812-1815 By Mark Lardas, published by Bloomsbury USA in 2012. During the War of 1812, the United States Navy and Royal Navy had limited presence on the Great Lakes. However, as hostilities began, a ship-building arms race ensued, resulting in the construction of unique warships designed for freshwater combat. This book explores the design, development, and operational use of these ships, which played a significant role in several clashes on the lakes. The vessels built during this period were distinct from their salt-water counterparts, with adaptations made to suit the challenges of operating on freshwater. The author examines the successes and failures of these warships, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of naval history.
