After the bloodshed at Lexington and Concord, England's King George sent hundreds of ships westward to bottle up American harbors and prey on American shipping. Colonists had no force to defend their coastline and waterways until John Adams of Massachusetts proposed a bold solution: The Continental Congress should raise a navy.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.35 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
