Six frigates was a wonderful account of a fascinating time in American history. For those who have not heard of it, it is about the founding of the American navy.
I loved the glimpse of innovative American culture in those times: individuals with no experience building warships developing vessels capable of standing toe to toe(and in some cases, defeating!) the otherwise dominant British navy.
