Joshua
Barney and the Chesapeake Bay Flotilla
A Documentary History
Links
This
page will contain links to other sites relating to the War of 1812 and
the Chesapeake Bay flotilla in order to offer the viewer additional resources
beyond the textual dimension provided in this site. The following is a
sample of such sites.
Since 1978 grants
from Calvert County, the state of Maryland, and the Department of Defense
have supported salvage
attempts of two flotilla gunboats scuttled in St. Leonard’s
Creek, Maryland.
The National Park
Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program is mandated to
compile a list of battles, occupations, withdrawals, evacuations, and
other military actions of British and American forces during the War of
1812. The St.
Leonard’s Creek Survey is cited here.
Congress selected
the National Park Service to evaluate the feasibility and desirability
of designating as a national trail the routes used by the British and
Americans during the Chesapeake campaign of the War of 1812. The NPS has
provided online its Star-Spangled
Banner National Historic Trail Study detailing the history, background,
integrity, and national significance of the proposed trail. A trail designation
would provide “opportunities for resource protection, active and
passive interpretation, and public enjoyment.”
