Although naval battles raged on the Great Lakes, combat between privateers and small government vessels boiled in the Bay of Fundy and the Gulf of Maine. Three small warships -- the Provincial sloop \u003ci\u003eBrunswicker\u003c\/i\u003e, His Majesty's schooner \u003ci\u003eBream\u003c\/i\u003e, and His Majesty's brig of war \u003ci\u003eBoxer\u003c\/i\u003e -- played a vital role in defending the eastern waters of British North America in this crucial war.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe crews of these hardy ships fought both the Americans and the elements -- winter winds, summer fog, and the fierce tidal currents of the Bay of Fundy -- enduring the all-too-real threats of shipwreck and possible capture and imprisonment. In peacetime, these patrol craft enforced maritime law. In wartime, they engaged in a guerre de course, attacking the enemy's commercial shipping while protecting their own. Now, for the first time, Joshua Smith tells the full story of the battle for the bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBattle for the Bay\u003c\/i\u003e is volume 17 in the New Brunswick Military Heritage Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua M.
