Tom of Baltimore Privateer Chronicle of Battles at Sea
A vivid tale follows the Tom, a Baltimore privateer, as it stalks West India men and a seventy four gun ship off Bermuda. Lieutenant Gale fires the big forty two pounder, disables a mast, and captures three merchantmen before chasing more prey along the West Indies coast. The Tom then takes a Brazilian prize, a Gambia bound brig, and a bold capture at sea leads to a romance between an American officer and a wounded English passenger's sister, culminating in later marriage.
