Author David Gendell tells the story of the HMS Menelaus on the Chesapeake in 1814, including a failed raid that led to the death of a top Royal Navy captain.
The frigate later played a key role in helping dozens of enslaved people escape from the Annapolis area.
Gendell unpacks this dramatic chapter of history involving both disaster and freedom.
