As the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 approaches, a new
chapter in the history of the war is being opened for the first
time. Although naval battles raged on the Great Lakes, combat
between privateers and small government vessels boiled in the Bay
of Fundy and the Gulf of Maine. Three small warships -- the
Provincial sloop Brunswicker, His Majesty's schooner Bream, and His
Majesty's brig of war Boxer -- played a vital role in defending the
eastern waters of British North America in this crucial war. The
crews of these hardy ships fought both the Americans and the
elements -- winter winds, summer fog, and the fierce tidal currents
of the Bay of Fundy -- enduring the all-too-real threats of
shipwreck and possible capture and imprisonment. In peacetime,
these patrol craft enforced maritime law. In wartime, they engaged
in a guerre de course, attacking the enemy's commercial shipping
while protecting their own. Now, for the first time, Joshua Smith
tells the full story of the battle for the bay.Battle for the Bay
is volume 17 in the New Brunswick Military Heritage Series.
