Description

Being located in the Shenandoah Valley, we don't often talk about ships and the navy. For this 4th of July, however, we thought we'd bring in our ship expert, Mark, to talk about the role of navies during the American Revolution. In this episode, we'll discuss shipbuilding, sailor impressment, and just how a small, upstart American fleet managed to mostly hold its own against the strongest navy in the world.
