THE SHIP THE ROYAL NAVY COULDN'T CATCH

Most ships of the War of 1812 fought with guns.

The Prince de Neufchatel fought with speed.

Built in New York in 1812, she was one of the fastest vessels on the Atlantic. Long, narrow, and aggressively rigged, the Prince routinely slipped away from Royal Navy warships that should have caught her.

When she wasn't escaping, she was hunting.

As an American privateer, her mission was simple: capture British merchant ships, seize their cargo, and disappear over the horizon before the Royal Navy arrived.

And she was exceptionally good at it.

The Legend of Nantucket Shoals

But speed alone didn't make her famous.

On the night of October 11, 1814, while anchored off Nantucket, the Prince de Neufchatel faced one of the most remarkable attacks of the War of 1812.

With much of her crew absent aboard captured prize ships, only 37 men remained aboard.

The British sent approximately 111 sailors and marines in heavily armed boats to board and capture her.

What followed was twenty minutes of brutal close-quarters combat.

Pistols.

Cutlasses.

Muskets.

Hand-to-hand fighting on a darkened deck.

When it was over, the British attack had collapsed. The survivors withdrew. The Prince remained free.

The action became one of the most celebrated small-ship engagements in American naval history.

Even decades later, naval architects studied her lines. Many historians consider the Prince de Neufchatel a forerunner of the famous clipper ships that would dominate the oceans years later.

The Model Shipways Kit: History in 1:64 Scale

Comfy and cute.
I was looking for a Converse alternative for a multitude of reasons. These were perfect. I love the slip-on style. The leather laces stay in place much better than the Converse cotton laces and there is way more sole support, which is a huge plus. I purchased these in black about a year ago and then went for the camo pair. As for the black pair, I wore them regularly for a year. After that time, the shoe didn't feel as comfortable anymore, and the fabric outer around the ankle began to fray, and the white outer trim was beginning to detach from the bottom sole. With that, I was pleased with how long they lasted. As for the camo pair, I anticipate the same quality and comfort. While super cute, the only draw back is the mismatched pattern. If you look at the pics, the one shoe has more gold embellishment at the toe area and the other one doesn't. This bothers me a bit as I would have liked it to match. Otherwise, I'm happy with both purchases so far and will continue to buy them in the future.

Cute but no so comfortable
I previously owned a white sperry leather shoe that I bought from Marshall’s for about $35 & absolutely them, they were so comfortable , cute & great price.After running that pair down, I decided to buy another pair and found out the shoe was discontinued. The closest thing to what I had is this, the white crest vibe in leather. I was disappointed that this shoe was not as comfortable and didn’t fit quite the same. The back ankle part of the shoe caved into my skin and hurt. Sadly, I do not recommend this shoe for much walking. I hope Sperry decides to make this shoe more comfortable because it is cute.
