"SHANNON" - "CHESAPEAKE"

Confidence in the British navy faltered early in the War of
1812 when American vessels won several single-ship engage-
ments. This pattern was broken on June 1, 1813 when HMS
SHANNON, commanded by Captain Philip Broke, closed with
USS CHESAPEAKE under Captain James Lawrence off Boston
harbour. The latter was taken in a short and bloody fight and
brought into Halifax by her captor on June 6. This engagement
was lond considered a naval classic. It marked a change in
British fortunes in the war at sea and vindicted Broke's insis-
tence on gunnery training, neglected by the navy since Trafalgar.

Durant la guerre de 1812, on douta bientôt de la marine britan-
nique quand des navires américains remportèrent plusieurs
combats singuliers. La situation changea le 1er juin 1813 quand
le HMS SHANNON, commandé par le capitaine Philip Broke,
affronta, au large de Boston, le USS CHESAPEAKE, commandé
par le capitaine James Lawrence. Ce dernier, capturé après une
brève lutte sanglante, fut amené à Halifax le 6 juin. Cette bataille
longtemps jugée classique, marqua un revirement du sort des
Britanniques et justifia l'importance que Broke accordait aux
exercices de tir au cana négligés depuis Trafalgar.
