America's Anchor articulates the naval history of the Delaware
River and Bay, spanning the three centuries from discovery to the
end of the Second World War. Offering a narrative tale of ships,
and the men from the Delaware Valley who sailed them, it weaves the
story of shipbuilders, and marine infrastructure from a waterway
that was a surprisingly active estuary of marine conflict. From
Philadelphia to the Delaware Capes, the story of the nascent United
States Navy emerges into full maturity from these shores as the
nation's defender. The author provides a broad historical context
as his canvas, upon which he limns a compelling narrative of naval
growth and expansion in peace and war. His story is highlighted by
selected quotes and personal thoughts of the colorful actors in his
tale. From pirates to pilots, navigators to notable commanders,
Wiggins' describes the arc of nautical history of the Delaware
estuary for the first time, between the covers of one volume. He
brings to life an under-appreciated history of a familiar place.
This tale of the sea and its able seamen is illustrated with 88
historic images and supplemented by four appendices.
