Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Battle of Red Bank, Resulting in the Defeat of the Hessians and the Destruction of the British Frigate Augusta, Oct: 22 and 23, 1777 The Batti.E Of Red Bank. relics and mementoes have been taken away by seekers after antique and historic treasures. But best of all, through the co-operation of Miss Ellen Mecum, State Regent, and Miss Ellen Learning Matlock, Regent of the Ann Whitall Chapter, enough of the timber from this old frigate, which has lain in the waters of the Delaware River for over one hundred and thirty years, has been gathered and preserved to make all the wood-work (except the floor), as well as the furniture, which adorns the New Jersey Room in Memorial Continental Hall, Washington, D.C. The article as given originally has been somewhat condensed, but still retains the essential portions, with much additional data which has come to the writer more recently. Every statement made herein is supported by English and American authorities. Many facts hitherto unknown in this country were courteously communicated to the writer by the British Admiralty in reply to his inquiries. From this official document it is learned that His Britannic Majestys ship Augusta was built at Rotherhithe, in the year of our Lord 1763, which was the third year of the reign of King George Hl It was constructed of quercus pedunculata, or white oak, and was probably cut from one of the forests at that time so numerous in England, and judging from the great width of the planks must have been centuries in growing.
