IMPORANT NAVAL EVENTS DURING THE REVOLUTION

IMPORANT NAVAL EVENTS DURING THE REVOLUTION
From our standpoint it will hardly be profitable to follow all of the various actions fought by the little United States Navy during the Revolution. Paullin, in his Navy of the American Revolution, makes the total number of vessels under the Continental Congress forty-two. these were practically all annihilated before the end of the war; but the heroic struggles of this early navy were not without result. In considering them, we shall outline the work of Benedict Arnold on Lake Champlain, of  Wickes, Conyngham, and especially Jones, in British waters, and of Biddle, Barry, and others on the American seaboard; and we shall not omit some mention of the State' navies and the privateers, as fell as of the assistance rendered by France.
