Maritime History

America's Privateer tells the story of Lynx, a ship with two lives that sailed in two different centuries. Mr. Robinson has vividly told the tale of Lynx, both past and present, in "America's Privateer": from its life in the War of 1812 to the modern privateer with a new job to do. Today, the reimagined Lynx sails the Atlantic coasts, teaching young people about sailing a privateer and the history of the War of 1812. A respected historian and literary stylist, Mr. Robinson has written an informative and moving sea yearn for a contemporary audience. This engaging story, accompanied by over 190 photographs, maps, and paintings, is for every reader, sailor, and landlubber alike.
