Broke of the Shannon : and the war of 1812 /edited by Tim Voelcker. Captain Broke's victory in 1813 over Captain Lawrence of USS Chesapeake, which was to have far reaching influence on the future of North America, did much to restore the morale of the Royal Navy, shattered by three successive defeats in single-ship duels with US frigates, and stunned the American nation which had come to expect success. Both Britain and the USA claim to have won the war but only Canada, the third country heavily involved, can fully claim to have done so, for the peace that followed established her as an independent nation. Leading historians from all three countries have joined to give their sometimes conflicting views on different aspects in a way to interest and entertain general readers, as well as challenge academics. It is a tale of political and military blunders, courage and cowardice in battle, a bloody ship-to-ship fight, and technical innovation in the hitherto crude methods of naval gunnery. It also tells the human story of Broke's determination to achieve victory so he could return to his wife and children after seven lonely years at sea. The near-fatal wound Broke received in hand-to-hand fighting as he boarded the Chesapeake meant that he never served again at sea, but his work on naval gunnery, paid for out of his own pocket, transformed Admiralty thinking and led to the establishment of the British naval school of gunnery, HMS Excellent. 2013. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92BROKE
Frigate commander / by Tom Wareham. Based on the previously unpublished private journal of Admiral Sir Graham Moore (1764-1843), this work primarily focuses on Moore's career as a frigate commander beginning with his service in the Perseus, Dido and Adamant. Commanding first the Orestes and the sloop Bonetta in 1790, Moore was promoted to post captain in 1794 with command of the Syren, his first frigate command. His later commands included the larger frigates Melampus and Indefatigable which he commanded until 1805 when ill-health forced him to relinquish the command and ended Moore's career as a frigate commander. However, his naval career continued with commands of the Marlborough and Chatham. Moore was promoted first to the rank of rear admiral and commander-in-chief in the Baltic in 1812, and then in 1819 to vice admiral when he was given command of the Mediterranean station. Moore was promoted in 1837 to full admiral and commander-in-chief Plymouth, but his health continued to deteriorate and he died in 1843. 2004. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92MOORE, GRAHAM
