Beschreibung
The schooner Nancy, legendary vessel of Great Lakes and Canadian history, lived a thousand lives in a noted career that began in Detroit and ended in a fiery explosion in Nottawasaga River in the last year of the War of 1812.
This dramatic, soundly researched narrative depicts the reality of the men who sailed her while fighting a gritty war. Carrying the war to the enemy in hazardous ways, they fought against a powerful American foe, using stealth and daring to maintain the besieged Canadian position in the last armed struggle for the heartland of North America. The loss of the Nancy inspired generations to regard her as a symbol of devotion to king and country.

If the war had been lost to the United States, we would all be Americans today. The Nancy represented one of the differences between victory and defeat. Forgotten for decades, the ship's bones became an innocent-looking island in the Nottawasaga. Until 1927, when she was unearthed by a vacationing Toronto dentist named F. J. Conboy.</p> <p>Today, the Nancy'
