    The Search for the Lion of Baltimore: An American Privateer from the War of 1812 By David Shaw his is the story of the search for an American T privateer sunk by the British in the Chesapeake Bay in 1814. The time was the War of 1812. United States naval ships were blockaded in port by the British. Most of the naval battles of the war were fought on inland lakes such as Lake George and Lake Champlain in New York State. In large part because of the blockade, the new United States government looked to private enterprise to help out – private enterprise in the form of privateering. Privateers were nautical mercenaries, non-military, ship-borne raiders sanctioned to attack enemy vessels, whether naval or merchant, in the name of the Federal government. Privateering was, of course, not unique to An American schooner escaping from H.M.S. Pylades America or to the War of 1812. As early as the 13th during the War of 1812.

  • “Second War of Independence,” Lit the Baltimore Skies in 1814
    Baltimore in the War of 1812 The War of 1812, often called America’s “Second War of Independence,” lit the Baltimore skies in 1814. Expecting to cruise with little resistance into the city’s harbor, a British fleet was instead frustrated by American forces at North Point and inside Fort McHenry. The courage of the fort’s defenders during the Battle of Baltimore was witnessed by Francis Scott Key, a Maryland lawyer detained on board a truce vessel after facilitating an American prisoner’s release. Key watched bombs burst along the shoreline and rockets zooming across the sky. But when the smoke cleared and British ships pulled back, a large American flag—measuring 42 feet by 30 feet—fluttered over the fort’s ramparts, prompting him to write the poem that became the national anthem. Day One: Begin your day at the Baltimore Visitor Center at the Inner Harbor. Here, a new exhibit will introduce you to the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 and “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Learn about special events, purchase tickets for attractions, tours and harbor cruises, pick up brochures, and make reservations for dining and lodging—all in one convenient location. Next, make your way to Baltimore’s Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine, site of the battle that inspired Francis Scott Key to pen the poem that would later become “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Fort McHenry features exhibits, tours, and lush grounds. Visit the new Fort McHenry Visitor and Education Center to see a dramatic film about the War of 1812. Learn about the Battle of Baltimore and walk the ramparts of the star-shaped fort.

Dave is part of the 11-person crew, which will visit 16 European ports in the North Sea, British Isles, and the Mediterranean. The Pride II, a replica of an 1812-era Baltimore clipper, is scheduled to return home on December 2. During her seven-month voyage she will participate in numerous tall ships races and festivals throughout Europe. David's tall ships experience began six years ago when he had the opportunity to sail as a trainee aboard HMS Rose (featured in the movie Masters and Commanders). Since then, he has participated in several internships and apprenticeships aboard tall ships, including Providence and Mystic Whaler. Most recently, Dave sailed aboard Sultana, where he held a variety of duties including deckhand, educator, and second mate.

    Application PDF PRIDE OF BALTIMORE, INC. PRIDE OF BALTIMORE - Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail Ambassador Request: $50,000.00 Multi-Heritage Area Total Match: $50,000.00 Anne Arundel PROJECT TITLE: PRIDE OF BALTIMORE - Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail Ambassador PROJECT SUMMARY: Pride will be working with NPS to reach new audiences by providing free on-water programs through day-sail and dockside activities at Maryland towns along the Trail. The goals of the project are to: engage with under-represented communities; increase public use and awareness of PRIDE II; and encourage stewardship of the Trail and its resources. Pride and NPS will develop engaging programs and materials related to the Trail interpretive themes. Part of the interpretive programs will include presentations by local partners at each port city, allowing for additional exposure to Trail resources in the immediate area by featuring a local connection to the Trail. Following the on-water experience, program participants will be encouraged to visit the partner sites and other local Trail locations, thereby boosting tourism in the area. Pride and NPS will work with local heritage area directors to create the sailing schedule. We will coordinate the schedule with existing festivals and events to maximize exposure. Pride will also work with heritage areas to identify local groups to assist in promoting the program to families. Priority will be given to traditionally under-represented communities. NPS will also provide a uniformed ranger for the programs which will showcase the well-recognized flat hat, green and grey uniform of the NPS and underscore the national significance of PRIDE II, the Trail and its resources.

  • The 28Th Annual Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race the 28Th Annual Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race
    The 28th Annual Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race The 28th Annual Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race The GCBSR is very pleased to welcome the schooners back for the race this year! Some of these schooners have competed nearly every year since the race was founded, others, like Renegade and Flower of Caithness, join us this year for the very first time! Vessels include giants like Pride of Baltimore II and Virginia to pocket yachts like Peanut. Some are nearly new, others are over 100 years old; some are made of modern fiberglass construction other are traditional wooden plank-on-frame construction. Some race down the bay and others race in spirit. What they all have in common is an appreciation for the Chesapeake Bay, a love of traditional sailing vessels, and a strong sense of camaraderie. We hope that you will help us to continue our mission to promote the maritime heritage of the bay and her natural resources. A J MEERWALD Homeport: Bivalve, NJ Length on Deck: 82ft Captain: Jesse A. Briggs AJ Meerwald is a Delaware Bay oyster schooner, a distinct vessel that evolved to meet the needs of the local oyster fishery. Launched in 1928, she was built of ‘oak on oak’ and designed to be a gaff-rigged oyster dredge. She was one of the hundreds of schooners built along South Jersey’s Delaware Bayshore before the decline of the shipbuilding industry that coincided with the Great Depression. During WWII she was outfitted as a fireboat (with most of her sailing rig being removed) serving our country by protecting the waterfront of Philadelphia and Camden.

  • Racing Aboard the Great Lakes Schooner Denis Sullivan
    Racing aboard the Great Lakes schooner Denis Sullivan Participants do the jobs that 19th century sailors did as this replica navigates Lake Superior's unpredictable waters. By Karin Winegar, Special to the Los Angeles Times January 22, 2012 Reporting from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.— At dawn on the dock, a few sailors kiss spouses and dogs goodbye. Then we muster on the quarterdeck: 17 crew (nine volunteers and eight professional sailors) ranging from a 19-year-old South Carolina college student to a 76-year-old Michigan farmer. I have cruised the South Pacific, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean on the most luxurious ships afloat and have been crew on sailing and racing sailboats for decades in inland lakes, the Great Lakes and the Caribbean. As a volunteer on a tall ship, however, I knew I'd have a rare chance to learn classic skills and be part of a genuine adventure. I was leaving private staterooms, spa treatments and five-star table service far behind. Now I would sleep below decks in a narrow bunk, stand watch, eat shoulder to shoulder and scrub the galley afterward; it sounded grand. Our ship is the Denis Sullivan, the world's only Great Lakes schooner, and we're heading out in a tall ships' race from Duluth, Minn., to Sault Ste. Marie, about 370 miles. It is a sunny, humid day in August, but I have brought foul-weather gear, long johns and a watch cap as protection from Lake Superior's notorious storms and chill. In the 19th century, ships like the Sullivan were the freight trucks of the Great Lakes.
