This is a very interesting sea story of a frigate named Constitution. It is a very nice tale full of seamen’s talk and terms. I like the terminology and the way it is used in the story. I would say that this book is a treasure for any sea lover. It will give the reader the taste and smell of the sea breeze. It is vivid and realistic in all the right places. It has been more than thirty years since the Declaration of Independence was signed and still English ships sail the sea about the USA. This isn’t sitting very well with those who fought so hard for their freedom. The frigate Constitution sails under Captain Hull. He is forced to exert his ship and its crew in the highest way to keep his ship from being seized by the Brits. Hull is a seaman by choice and lineage. He will not surrender his ship. His men feel the same way. They have many harrowing encounters with the British throughout the tale.
This is a great book for all those who are familiar with sailing lore. It has some use of foul language, and some of the phrases and usage of the language seemed too modern for the era this historical fiction claims to portray, but overall I really enjoyed this engaging nautical story.
