Battle for New York Naval Battle 1776 - Trickery at Sea - Unconventional methods of naval warfare
In 1776 there was no way for the Americans at New York to fight the powerful British Royal Navy. So they resorted to unconventional methods. In this video, we take at look at some of them.
At 8:00 in the video, I mention an episode of Travel Channel's Mysteries at the Museum. The episode is titled "Chain of Fools, Rocket Boys and the Cowboys That Saved Britain" and is listed as either Season 11/Episode 11 or Season 12/Episode 9. It's about John Paul Jones and the controversy over the flag he flew at the Battle of Flamborough Head.
