Interesting. I'm getting a better understanding of how the Revolutionary war was financed -- naval prizes and piracy, much of both handled by Robert Morris. Large ships don't seem to work well for us.

I'm enjoying it so far. Congress creates a navy in fall 1775. They set off before Washington takes command in Boston, and are back in Philly with prizes being refitted before independence is declared. The Brits are regularly described as pirates.
