“Compelled To Row: Blacks On Royal Navy Galleys During The American Revolution”, Charles R. Foy

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

Work on Royal Navy galleys in North America during the American Revolution was physically demanding, lacked in sufficient shelter for their crews and rarely resulted in sailors obtaining prize monies.

Twenty Years of Harry Potter: Celebrating a Phenomenon
