One Book One Community: The War on the Chesapeake In-Person

Mike Steen of the Watermens Museum in Yorktown will introduce us to the privateering sailors who held commissions that allowed them to attack and capture shipping for their own profit. At the same time, Virginia tried to build its own State Navy, with one shipyard nearby on the Chickahominy River. How did those efforts affect commerce and the Revolutionary War on the Bay?
