Just thought I would share this with you, she wasn't a big powerfull 74 gun ship of the line, nore was she as well armored as the USS Constitution. The Liverpool Packet was a converted scooner that prooved to be a real thorn in the side for New England, capturing 50 vessels durring the war of 1812, dispite herself being captured by the Americans, durring the war, she was recaptured by the Brits and rebought by her original owners. She sailed out of my home town Liverpool NS, just a part of the game that I am looking forward too.
