Memorial links two nations through Chesapeake saga
A Plymouth England ceremony opened the “door of unity” at Pryston House near St Andrews church with a memorial to two American naval officers. It honors Capt James Lawrence of the Chesapeake, who perished after the 1813 duel with the Shannon, and notes the famous Don’t Give Up the Ship moment. The event coincided with unveiling a tablet for American POWs and features Vice Admiral Burrage and Plymouth clergy. A mill built from Chesapeake timbers stands as a lasting Anglo American memorial.
