American Privateers in the War of 1812 - The Vessels and Their Prizes as Recorded in Niles' Weekly Register (Paperback)

During the War of 1812, the U.S. Navy numbered several dozen ships
and captured fewer than 200 British vessels. American privateers,
on the other hand, commanded more than 200 vessels and captured
more than 1,000 British ships. The privateers proved the only
American force that consistently threatened Britain throughout the
Atlantic, especially along the coasts of the British Isles.
Although privateers had a far greater impact on the British
merchant marine and the economy of Great Britain than the U.S.
Navy, they have received relatively little scholarly attention.
This welcome work addresses this shortcoming by providing an
accounting of all 241 American privateers during the war and a
comprehensive list of all captures made by American
forces--including privateers, Navy, and others--during that
conflict.
