Produktbeschreibung
Spencer traces the full story of this historic ship from its conception and construction in 1799 to its ultimate demise in 1823, when she was stranded and broke up on Little Curacao Island in the West Indies.

"History enthusiasts and those with a naval or military background are sure to be immersed in the untold story of this famous ship - a history that includes wars and conflicts in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean and colorful commanders," said Spencer, a life-long history enthusiast. "I've combined a compelling narrative with ship images, battle scenes, portraits of captains and their commodores, along with maps to draw readers into the story."

¿¿Spencer's narrative follows the ship's beginnings as tensions grew with France during the Quasi-War with France through a time period where the Barbary State of Tripoli declared war on the United States to the War of 1812. The story culminates with tales of piracy in the Caribbean when bandits preyed on merchant ships, and the Enterprize was charged with conducting anti-piracy operations. The word "enterprise," or "enterprize as it was generally spelled long ago, has been defined as embarking on new ventures with boldness and energy.

"Deborah's account is such a great read and fills a huge void in the historical record of a ship that is pivotal to our country's story," said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. "Get ready to be thrilled by her detailed descriptions of the battles waged and the commanders who fought so bravely at sea."

Spencer, who lives in Florida and is the chief technology officer at an advertising technology company, says she has always had a particular fascination for ships name Enterprise. She is originally from Huntsville, Alabama.

Autorenporträt
Born on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, Deborah's interest in American history began with her father's stories of various base assignments that included Pearl Harbor where she first heard the name Enterprise. Her discovery of the TV series Star Trek as a youth solidified her interest in the name. Later Deborah's brother, a NASA scientist, took her to see the International Space Station mockup at the Marshall Space flight Center. Like her brother, Deborah embarked on a career in science. She studied computer science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville while interning at a Fortune 500 company. That path led Deborah to her current position as the chief technology officer with an Orlando, Florida-based advertising technology company founded by Army veterans. While spending summers in the San Juan Mountains in Western Colorado, Deborah's interest in history merged with her love of nature and hiking, cycling, and photography.
