Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the incredible life of Commodore Samuel Tucker, one of the most celebrated naval heroes of the American Revolution. As a young man, Tucker defied his family's wishes to pursue a life at sea. He gained nautical expertise aboard British ships and later enlisted as an officer on a vessel from Salem. Tucker's bravery and leadership in several engagements, including the capture of enemy ships and the daring rescue of a vessel from pirates, brought him recognition and respect. In 1776, he was appointed captain of the armed schooner Franklin, and during the war, Tucker commanded several ships, capturing over 60 vessels and seizing over 3000 prisoners. He was instrumental in securing essential supplies for the American army and in disrupting British naval operations. After the war, Tucker continued his seafaring career as a privateer and later as a revenue cutter commander. Despite facing financial setbacks and hardships, he remained a respected figure, serving in the Massachusetts legislature and as a delegate to the Electoral College. The author presents a detailed account of Tucker's naval exploits and personal life, capturing the spirit of this indomitable mariner.
