Smile-n-Nod Posted March 12, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I've been reading Six Frigates recently and have become curious about the bomb ketches, gunboats, and other boats used during the Barbary Wars (1801-1805, 1815)? Are there any books on the subject? Edited March 15, 2021 by Smile-n-Nod jchbeiner, bruce d and thibaultron 3 Quote Brett D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
