The book titled Journal Of The Commissioners Of The Navy Of South Carolina: October 9, 1776 To March 1, 1779 is a historical account of the naval operations carried out by the state of South Carolina during the American Revolution. The book is edited and compiled by A. S. Salley and was originally published in 1912. The journal contains detailed records of the activities of the naval commissioners who were responsible for the procurement, outfitting, and management of the ships and vessels used by the state of South Carolina during the war. The entries in the journal cover a period of over two years, from October 9, 1776, to March 1, 1779, and provide a valuable insight into the challenges faced by the state in maintaining its naval forces during the conflict.The book is divided into several sections, each dealing with a specific aspect of the naval operations. The first section provides a general overview of the state of the navy at the beginning of the war, including the number and types of vessels available, the personnel involved, and the resources required for their maintenance. Subsequent sections deal with topics such as the procurement of ships, the outfitting of vessels, the recruitment and training of sailors, the management of naval stores, and the financing of the naval operations.The journal also contains detailed accounts of various naval engagements in which the South Carolina navy was involved, including battles with British warships and privateers, as well as skirmishes with enemy shore batteries and fortifications. These accounts provide a vivid and often dramatic portrayal of the dangers and challenges faced by the sailors and naval officers of the state during the war.Overall, Journal Of The Commissioners Of The Navy Of South Carolina: October 9, 1776 To March 1, 1779 is an important historical document that provides a valuable insight into the naval operations of a key southern state during the American Revolution. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American navy and the role played by individual states in the war for independence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
