Conclusion As a result of increased revenues from the colonies, huge numbers of new recruits, modernised ports, swift and summary repression of the internal problems, the relative weakness of the opposition, and victory in two key naval battles thus preventing a full scale invasion of Ireland and also greatly weakening two enemy fleets , the British Navy both psychologically and physically laid the foundations for the crucial victories of the Nile, Copenhagen and Trafalgar.

On June 27, 1807, several thousand mourners assembled in Norfolk, Virginia, to witness Robert MacDonald’s internment.

  • Hornblower's Ships
    Names of Ships from the Hornblower Books. Introduction Hornblower’s biographer, C S Forester, wrote eleven books covering the most active and dramatic episodes of the life of his subject. In addition, he also wrote a Hornblower “Companion” and the so called three “lost” short stories. There were some years and activities in Hornblower’s life that were not written about before the biographer’s death and therefore not recorded. However, the books and stories that were published describe not only what Hornblower did and thought about his life and career but also mentioned in varying levels of detail the people and the ships that he encountered. Hornblower of course served on many ships but also fought with and against them, captured them, sank them or protected them besides just being aware of them. Of all the ships mentioned, a handful of them would have been highly significant for him. The Indefatigable was the ship on which Midshipman and then Acting Lieutenant Hornblower mostly learnt and developed his skills as a seaman and as a fighting man. This learning continued with his experiences on the Renown as a lieutenant. His first commands, apart from prizes taken, were on the Hotspur and the Atropos. Later as a full captain, he took the Lydia round the Horn to the Pacific coast of South America and his first and only captaincy of a ship of the line was on the Sutherland. He first flew his own flag on the Nonsuch and sailed to the Baltic on her. In later years his ships were smaller as befitted the nature of the tasks that fell to him.

These historic handwritten volumes include close to 150,000 registrations made in 44 separate judicial dis- tricts before the copyright registration and deposit system was centralized in the Library of Congress in 1870. One of the most unusual District Court copyright entries appears on page 23 of volume 132 from the state of New York. On Dec. 22, 1813, Charles Clinton, District Court clerk for the Southern District of New York, entered a copy- right claim in the name of marine artist and cal- ligrapher George Godsell Thresher (1780–1857) for etchings of a famous naval battle fought dur- ing the War of 1812. What makes this entry unique is that, in ad- dition to the basic registration information, freehand drawings depict the copyright deposit, a work of art recording the engagement between the two great battle ships USS United States and HMS Macedonian. A notation at the bottom of the entry states that the “Above Etchings were taken from the only Drawings on board the United States, and belonging to Commodore Decatur, and approved of as being a correct and accurate representation.” The USS United States was a 44-gun frigate built in Philadelphia in 1797. It defeated the 38- gun frigate HMS Macedonian on Oct.
