024 The American Revolution Goes to Sea: The Continental Navy

We are going to take a break from the war on land and see what
the Continental Congress was up to as it attempted to create an
American navy. Naval actions occurred on the inland waterways of
the northeast, American frigates and converted civilian vessels
attempted to distract the Royal Navy with varying degrees of
success, and privateers roamed the Atlantic and waters around
North America preying on British merchant shipping. The roots of
the United States Navy reach back to the revolution, so it is
worthwhile paying attention to this story.
