The next meeting of the South Jersey Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution is Saturday, September 21 at the West Deptford Public Library. The Library opens at 10AM, so we will be there a 10 to setup for the meeting. The meeting should start at 1015 and finish no later that 1PM. We will begin with a short Business Meeting followed by a presentation by our guest speaker, Jamie Hand.
Jamie is the co-author of the book Cape May Navy: Delaware Bay Privateers in the American Revolution. This book weaves together a complicated and fascinating tale about the men of Cape May and their role in disrupting British merchant and naval vessels sailing between New York City and Philadelphia during the American Revolution. The authors state “Any British vessels attempting to resupply British troops in Philadelphia or sailing along the Jersey coast coming from the Caribbean or the Southern colonies towards New York were inviting targets for our privateers.”
