RE: #piratesunday: The 2012 Canada 10 Dollars HMS Shannon Commemorative - War of 1812

I don't know anything about silver coins, but I love your fictional story. Made period surrounding the coin come to life. Pirates, pirate ships, adventures, and dastardly deeds are some of my favorite stories.

Thanks for sharing.

History Text books often just present the facts and don't often get into the thoughts and concerns of the central figures. What they believe was right, what are they fighting for, even what baggage they carried in their hearts.
And despite the ravages and horrors of war, these two Captains took this single ship to ship engagement as if it were a Gentleman's duel for honor more than just winning a battle or plunder.
