A group of the small schooners leased by General Washington while besieging the outnumbered British in Boston in 1775. These vessels were only about sixty feet long and armed with a handful of four-pounder cannon but they seriously disrupted the British attempts to supply Boston by sea and even captured a powder-ship, invaluable to the besiegers.

Washington manned his small ships with soldires who had some experience of the sea, such as the 21st Massachusetts who hailed from Marblehead.

During March 1776 the schooners were operating together in groups of up to five. Eight were originally leased. Their career lasted until 1777 when the Continental Navy was ready to go to sea, some of its officers having first served their country in the schooners of Washington's army.

Framing

PRINTS & PAINTINGS ON PAPER 

We use a simple classic frame, gold finish over a black ground, approximately 1 3/4 inches (4.4 cm) in width with off-white acid-free mount 2 1/2 to 3 inches (6.5 - 7.5 cm) wide. Pictures are framed under glass and fitted with wire ready for hanging.

For larger pictures that are to be shipped we can use perspex instead of glass for security in transit - we may contact you to discuss this. Frame example shown above. 

PRINTS & PAINTINGS ON CANVAS

For pictures on canvas we use a simple classic frame with a gold finish and a white slip next to the canvas, approximately 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) in width. Pictures are framed like an oil painting with no glass and fitted with wire ready for hanging. Frame example shown above.
