Perfect timing! We just finished our unit on the War of 1812 in US History.

Beautiful painting, and timely for me because I recently discovered the two fantastic series of novels, with heroes Horatio Hornblower by C.S. Forester and Jack Aubrey-Stephen Maturin, by Patrick O'Brien, all about the British Navy circa 1800.
