The Savannah steamship and Naval Heroic Tales
A compact excerpt traces early steamship Savannah’s transatlantic crossing from Georgia to Liverpool, highlighting Rogers and Vail’s American enterprise, plus British reactions and praise. It also recounts naval exploits of Macdonough and Decatur in the Mediterranean during the early U.S. naval war era, detailing bold actions at Tripoli and Algiers, and Napoleon’s Moscow fire’s dreadful spectacle as Mordier and Napoleon witness a city scorched by a hurricane of flame.
