In Ship and Prison: A Story of Five Years in the Continental Navy with Captain Samuel Tucker

About this film

LibriVox recording of In Ship and Prison: A Story of Five Years in the Continental Navy with Captain Samuel Tucker by William P. Chipman. Read in English by Barry Eads. The incidents of this book are taken largely from the log-book of Captain Tucker, and are intended to picture the stirring times in which he lived, and the thrilling adventures in which he engaged. Midshipman Arthur Dunn, one of Captain Tucker’s officers, is the narrator, and his story covers the five years during which his commander played no small part in naval affairs. It is hoped the narrative will arouse in the heart of every reader an admiration for the brave Captain, and rescue from oblivion the name of another of our Continental heroes—the man who did so much to keep the land forces of our Revolutionary struggle supplied with ammunition and stores at the expense of the enemy. - Summary by William P. Chipman For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
