Footner Accounts for ‘Our’ War, and Perfidious Adm Monthly Publication of the Fell’s Point Citizens on Patrol 8 March 2014 4HHEE&ELLSS0OIINTERNTER Volume 16 Number 3 Footner Accounts for ‘Our’ War, And Perfidious Adm. Cochrane Just in time for this summer’s climactic cel- ebrations of the 200th anniversary of Baltimore’s War, Fell’s Point maritime historian Geoffrey Foot- ner has delivered “A Bungled Affair: Britain’s War in the United States--The Final Years 1814-1815.” It delivers as much about this neighborhood’s role in the conflict as us new-age readers are apt to absorb. And as a bonus, it offers a devastatingly detailed account of how His Majesty’s command- ing admiral on the Chesapeake not only failed to subdue this city but brought shame to the Royal Navy--by dealing freed American slaves in Carib- bean flesh markets instead of devastating New Orleans as ordered. Along the way, the curmudgeon of Fell St. covers the Canadian theater and walks us through the Treaty of Ghent diplomacy. But he is saltiest at sea, starting in 1812 when Joshua Barney “ac- cepted command of the privateer Rossie,” built by Thomas Kemp at the foot of Washington St., and took the war to Britain’s shipping lanes with Canada. “The Baltimore schooner seized 15 ships of great value . plus 166 British prisoners.” And so it went, until by 1814 “the Surprise, with double or more burden,” and other bigger versions of the speedy Chesapeake Bay pilot schooners carried the war to Britain’s home waters.
