The Life & Times of Chesapeake Bound (1763–1765)
On the waters of Annapolis Harbor, you can almost see tensions rising in the years before the American Revolution. The Stamp Act of 1765 sparked violent mob protests in the city and its harbor, and in 1774, the Sons of Liberty again took to the streets to punish a merchant who defied the tea embargo.
Join author Thomas Guay aboard the Woodwind to hear the real stories behind Chesapeake Bound, his historical novel set on the Chesapeake and the perilous Atlantic voyage that shaped it all.
