Description

Most of the critical naval fighting throughout the War of 1812 took place, not at the high seas, but at the inland lakes of North The united states: the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. Carrying between 12 and 22 cannon, the British and American sloops-of-war were ship-rigged, brig-rigged or schooner-rigged vessels with their guns on a single deck. Actions steadily involved two ships facing each and every other broadside to broadside, the most efficient example of which was once the battle of Lake Erie in 1813 where HMS Detroit led a Royal Navy squadron against the usLawrence-led US Navy.

Featuring full-color artwork, this energetic study investigates the prolonged struggle between British and US sloops-of-war, highlighting the differences between the war at the lakes and the war at the oceans throughout the Age of Fighting Sail. It reveals the circumstances under which these ships were built, how they were armed, and the human story in the back of their construction and use in battle.
