In 1777, the British Royal Navy under Lord Cornwallis dispatched seventy-one warships to New York to crush the American revolutionaries.
The HMS Zebra serves as the flagship for the British squadron seeking to oust the privateers from Egg Harbor, New Jersey. Thanks to George Washington’s network of spies, things do not go as planned for the British when they finally reach the harbor.
The shifting shoals of the harbor would claim the British flagship.
