Captain Elisha Hopewell and the Powder Carrying Whale
In July 1781 Captain Elisha Hopewell of the brig Mary Ann plans a risky voyage with a powder cargo bound for Wilmington.

The whale disrupts the British boat, the Mary Ann escapes, and the cargo is delivered to aid Patriot forces at Eutaw Springs.
