The Liverpool Packet.

[zcr19]

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.

Some more info. Table of contents here, but chapters 2 & 3 are with respect to Privateering out of Nova Scotia (all along the seaboard, down into far south).

Packet is also discussed herein.

A lovely little ship, though I'm bias towards the HMS Halifax (Nova Scotia Packet) due to my time spent in that city. That, and the Halifax was a beautiful little ship.

Lived there 5 years.  That it is, beautiful.
