Скачать или смотреть The Daring Escape of the Schooner Globe — The Privateer That Outran a British Squadron (War of 1812)

In 1814, the American privateer schooner Globe pulled off one of the most legendary maneuvers of the War of 1812. Hunted by four British warships off the coast of Maine, Captain David Snow refused to surrender. Instead, he sailed Globe straight into a fog bank, doubled back across the British line, and slipped directly between two enemy vessels—so close the crews could hear each other shouting orders.

The British fired blindly into the fog… and missed completely.
Globe escaped, went on to capture multiple British merchant ships, and delivered their cargoes safely to American ports. Even British newspapers complained that privateers like the Globe were causing “intolerable disruption” to Atlantic trade.

This is the true story of how a small American schooner outmaneuvered an entire British squadron — and lived to tell the tale.
