THE SHIP THE ROYAL NAVY COULDN'T CATCH

Most ships of the War of 1812 fought with guns.

The Prince de Neufchatel fought with speed.

Built in New York in 1812, she was one of the fastest vessels on the Atlantic. Long, narrow, and aggressively rigged, the Prince routinely slipped away from Royal Navy warships that should have caught her.

When she wasn't escaping, she was hunting.

As an American privateer, her mission was simple: capture British merchant ships, seize their cargo, and disappear over the horizon before the Royal Navy arrived.

And she was exceptionally good at it.

The Legend of Nantucket Shoals

But speed alone didn't make her famous.

On the night of October 11, 1814, while anchored off Nantucket, the Prince de Neufchatel faced one of the most remarkable attacks of the War of 1812.

With much of her crew absent aboard captured prize ships, only 37 men remained aboard.

The British sent approximately 111 sailors and marines in heavily armed boats to board and capture her.

What followed was twenty minutes of brutal close-quarters combat.

Pistols.

Cutlasses.

Muskets.

Hand-to-hand fighting on a darkened deck.

When it was over, the British attack had collapsed. The survivors withdrew. The Prince remained free.

The action became one of the most celebrated small-ship engagements in American naval history.

Even decades later, naval architects studied her lines. Many historians consider the Prince de Neufchatel a forerunner of the famous clipper ships that would dominate the oceans years later.

The Model Shipways Kit: History in 1:64 Scale

Excellent Customer Service. Follow instructions.
Color: Classic Cherry, Size: L:29.80" x W:13.09" x H:71.26"
I LOVE the color of this bookcase. The bookcases at the big chain store generally cost around $100, so this is about what I was expecting. It's a nicer quality with thicker shelves than the big chain store bookshelves and I really wanted the cherry color, which, on this bookcase, is gorgeous. It was a bit difficult to assemble only because I asked for help from a male friend who insisted that we skip through the directions. We ended up getting a screw caught between two beams because he didn't want to sort out the screws like I ALWAYS do before assembling any furniture. Note: just breathe, relax and take your time and follow the directions, and if you ask for help from someone, give them a sedative, like a big dose of kava or something because it's going to take several hours. Once it's finished, though, it's really lovely. I filled it with books and so far, it's been fine. It is particle board with a finish, so if you scratch it, it's going to show. But, it comes with a brown color-coordinated marker so you can cover up minor scratches or flaws in the finish. I was a little surprised that the top of the bookcase is unfinished, but maybe a lot of bookcases are not nowadays. I wouldn't put it in a location where the top of it shows - like next to a staircase. The backboard is cardboard folded in half with the same cherry finish, which for me really wasn't an issue because I always fill my bookcases completely with books so the back doesn't really show. There are weight restrictions for each shelf, so make sure you pay attention to those - some shelves hold more weight than others. I plan to assemble the second one by myself now that I understand what's involved. I have to give five stars because customer service was so amazing. I didn't open the second bookcase for a long time, but despite the time that had passed, they still replaced a damaged beam very quickly, and even reshipped the beam a second time because I had given the wrong address. That was really amazing! Never had such a good experience with customer service before.

Great socks!
These are great low cut socks with padding in appropriate places. The shape keeps them from sliding down in my tennis shoes. I just wish more than three pair came in the pack.
