Lynx - America's Privateer Trailer HD

Lynx Educational Foundation Trailer for Lynx - America's Privateer
The Privateer Lynx is a unique National Treasure. Launched in 2001 on plans dating from the War of 1812, the Lynx brings American history back from the past and immerses students in lessons about this nations founding and its defense of freedom. Today, the modern version of the Lynx serves as a floating classroom where students from a variety of institutions learn about the War of 1812 and the heroic struggle of privateer vessels to foil the British navy; they learn, as well, about the sea and sailing ships and about the teamwork required to keep a craft like the Lynx afloat.
Students come on board the Lynx to partake in a hands-on interactive educational program that enhances personal achievement through teamwork, sail training and historical discussion. Participants step back in time as they learn to perform the duties of an 1812 privateer crew. One school teacher whose students recently sailed on the Lynx called this a truly amazing and memorable study trip! A student who sailed more extensively on the Lynx said that this experience had an immense impact on my lifeit taught me to deal with unexpected obstaclesand to accept more challenges and to face them. The Lynx educational program is endorsed by a number of California school boards and meets specific California State Standards 1 1/2 Hour Educational History Dockside Programs and 3 hour Educational History and Science Adventure Sails available in many west coast ports including Long Beach, San Diego, King Harbor/Redondo Beach, Oakland, Morro Bay, Monterey, Oxnard, Ventura and Oceanside. Call (866)446-5969 for more information.
Custom team building events and private charters are also available.

And at age 15 , I found myself Captain of a fishing vessel. The hardest job I ever loved ! The sea courses through my veins. My family is American since 1720 . 300 years now . Thanks for getting this old Man, with a long lost heartbeat, feeling once again, sailing before the wind . Bless you , and all who sail with you. Fare The Well.

    It's a gorgeous ship, but the whole story about "America's Privateer" is highly exaggerated. It was more of a blockade runner. Yes, it was granted a letter of marque by the US government in 1812, but it took no prizes - it ran the blockade and headed for France to trade, and returned with a haul of luxury goods. In 1813 she was sitting at anchor, blockaded in the Rappahannock river, when the British rowed 105 soldiers out in small boats. The Lynx and Arab surrendered immediately. Two other schooners - the Racer and Dolphin - put up a fight but were eventually taken as prizes. The Americans numbered 160 sailors, spread across the 4 craft and were each individually overwhelmed. The Lynx was taken as prize, renamed the Mosquidobit, and spent the rest of the war blockading the Chesapeake Harbor. From 1816 to 1819 she was off the coast of Ireland on anti-smuggling duties, taking her first prize 1818. She was then paid out in 1819 for capturing the second largest number of Irish smugglers in the fleet. She spent her last year of military service from 1819-1820 sailing between Marseilles and Toulon, in the Mediterranean, presumably defending against Barbary Corsairs. Honestly, she did more "adventurous" work as a Royal Navy vessel then as an American one. Confusing the matter, is that ANOTHER Lynx was built in 1814 for the US Navy. It was also a 6 gun, topsail schooner, nearly identical to the original. This was a commissioned ship, however, NOT a privateer. It was meant for the War of 1812, but was finished too late. It instead sailed to the Mediterranean to deal with Barbary corsairs but again, arrived too late, finding that Decatur's squadron had already quelled the pirates. She sailed home in 1817 and was put to work hunting pirates in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, where she captured 3 ships in 2 years. She departed St. Mary's Georgia in January 1820, en-route to Kingston Jamaica, and was lost at sea with all 40 hands, never to be seen again.

    @@Craigx71 absolutely. I've gotten to go aboard the Lynx during a tallship festival. The experience was awesome. The crew felt the most "authentic" of all the sailors there, simply because they live aboard and work the ship as a full-time job. They follow the weather up and down the Atlantic coast. While other crews were volunteers who were happy to take you on a guided tour and talk at you before hustling you back off, the crew of the Lynx was spending the day relaxing on deck and letting visitors just wander the ship and look around and their leisure. Good guys, all, and happy to answer questions, but it always felt like you were intruding a little bit by being there (as it should) Apparently, the crew is usually drawn from a youth program designed for "rowdy" boys to get some adventuring and discipline drilled into them, so it's good to know that beyond it's public educational role, the 'Lynx' serves a greater purpose. I agree that she is a beautiful little boat, and I would love to see more such ships recreated. Unfortunately, I missed the Hermione the last time she visited us Stateside, as I imagine that her crew is probably equally "salty." It's an enviable life, were I a bit younger and unattached.

    Thank you for this very detailed post about the Lynx. I have been reading quite a bit about privateers, more so from the other side of the ocean. The French corsair where privateers who had their letters of marque (Lettre de marque) or (Lettre de commission). They usually sailed cutters (cotres), small, about 10 to 12 metres long, (33 to 40 footers) with one main mast and an aggressive mat de beaupre, the front oblique mast that was used as a bridge to board much larger ships, these cutters were nimble, fast with an intrepid crew of about 30 men with 12 canons; sailing the high seas quite successfully. Read on the "taking of the Kent" and many others. The "Barbary corsairs" that you mention, were outright pirates and behaved as such. The corsairs had letters of marque as you mention. Although all navies, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French, British and Turkish indulged in human cargo trading (slavery), a distinction between the French and the British was that the French unlike the British never gave privateers such as Surcouf, le Chevalier Paul, Jean Bart ( of the same era, late 18th century, early 19th) and many others, titles of nobility while the British did. If a privateer had titles, those had been obtained outside the activity of being a corsair, either by inheritance or acts of service to France. While "corsaires" and pirates have existed for many centuries, those I mention would be contemporaries to the Lynx and the mores of their time are those that I describe.

    ​@@paulhomsy2751 there are a lot of really good resources out there for research, but the major point to make is that all of this is mostly semantic. Firstly, it was rare for anyone to call themselves a 'pirate', and piracy was a crime, not a profession. So, it was more common to call your enemies 'pirates', to strip them of their legitimacy. This was the ruling on the Spanish Main during the 17th century, for example. The Spanish declared any non-Spaniard sailors in the regions "pirates" and prosecuted them as such. Secondly, anyone who violated the terms of their Marque or Commission (in the case of naval commanders) were committing acts of piracy. This was the allegation brought against William Kidd, who had been commissioned as a pirate-hunter, but allegedly attacked merchant shipping in the Pacific. Violations of terms was so common, that it caused major concern. During the Crimean War (1853-56) the French and English mutually agreed not to employ privateers. In 1856 during the Treaty of Paris, this was formalized with a ban on issuing Letters of Marque/Reprisal for 55 nations, INCLUDING the Ottoman Empire. Which of course, bring us to the final point - the Barbary Corsairs. Corsair/Corsario are terms that originate during the Crusades. This was before the time of formal navies, and so every vessel was effectively a privateer. The French and Spanish continued using this terminology for their hired ships. The term was also never changed, and applied to the Barbary Coast raiders. Outright piracy was no more common along the Barbary Coast than in Europe. The practice of raiding was almost a seasonal activity and pillar of the economy in that region. When fishing was slow, the sailors turned to raiding. It was not as illicit as in European culture. Loans were given out, expeditions were financed, and everything was taxed appropriately. This was the cause for the First Barbary War (1801-05) and Second Barbary War of 1815. Indeed, America put troops ashore in Tripoli during the second war, with the express intent of overthrowing the state's government in order to put an end to tribute payments made to the rulers. This tactic would not have worked if the Barbary Corsairs were simply pirates, attacking whomever they pleased. The Barbary Corsairs are just as much 'corsairs' as the French privateers. Outright pirates never last long; certainly not long enough to extort the major naval powers of Europe and America to the point that Thomas Jefferson is sending millions of dollars of protection money to Ottoman sultans each year.

    The original Lynx was an upscaled version of a pilot boat so was meant to be fast. It was a merchant vessel and not a privateer. The letters of marque authorize a ship to take enemy merchant vessels but the crew is paid, there are less crew members and less guns than on a privateer. A privateer was manned and armed as a warship, was privately owned, the crew was compensated by a share of the prize and literally was a government sanctioned pirate ship that might attack and capture anything from small vessels to warships of larger size. A merchantman with six guns and lightly crewed was never intended to be a privateer. If it successf ran one blockade, it served the purpose it was designed and built for.

    I just want to say a few things. Firstly: I am SO jealous of those kids! I'm only 21, but if I could've went out on a tall ship at the age of 13 or less, I THINK I would've loved it. I've always connected with the "piratical" time in our history. The time when, as you were sailing in uncharted waters, found an island and sent a rowboat over for freshwater, you were the FIRST human to step foot on that island. I honestly can say I wish I had been born in that time period. It's just something that hits me in the heart. My dream is to own a ship like this. To captain it myself, and sail around, just to experience at least SOME of what it was like for the sailors of the early 1800's. Thank you to the people who are at least keeping this knowledge semi-relevant. I think that a lot of people should've had a 2 year term on a sailing ship, just to learn the ideal of "teamwork."

    We won 100 sailboat races on a Mayflower 48 from 1992 to 1995. The last two years, when I was in charge, we won 60 races straight; first over the line, not using our handicap. Miss Maverick did not like to be sailed "By the book" or by the gauges. Eventually, over the years, I felt that I could sense her "soul", and how she liked to be sailed; as they said in the film, "Let the reins loose and let her run." I would like to make a feature film about Miss Maverick, and our racing days. I thought this trailer was great, and gave me several ideas. I don't think it was cheesy (maybe the lady at the end); those comments were made by people who probably never spent any time sailing. Sailing back and forth along the coast can get boring, I think you feel the boats "soul" more when she is racing. I would like to sail on Lynx. A day sail would be OK; but I would prefer longer trip, like when she sails from Tampa, around Florida to GA.

From infancy it was the old ships that most moved me, so this was a very special joining of different dreams and experiences of mine. As we neared voyage end, 2 small boats trailed us, Highlanders like my family owned, the emblem a Highland Fling dancer I supported as bagpipe accompanist in the years after our sailing days.

    "Her kind" is apt, since the original Lynx, while having a letter of marque, didn't serve as a privateer herself. She was a merchantman carrying cargo and running the British blockade. So she wasn't burdened with guns. She was also not at sea. Lynx was anchored 15 miles up a river when the British captured her. Thanks to the British capturing her, there were made good line drawings which is why she became a good subject for a replica.

    If you're referring to the original Lynx, she wasn't famous, so we wouldn't have known about her if she had gone missing. Lynx wasn't a privateer, she was a commercial cargo vessel. Famous and known privateers would be like the Comet and Chasseur (replicated as 'Pride of Baltimore' - which unfortunately was lost in a tragic disaster). The reason Lynx was copied was because drawings existed, courtesy of the British admiralty who made them after she was captured. "Her kind" refers to that she's indeed a Baltimore Clipper and entirely representative for the type of vessels which did go privateering, even if she herself didn't.

    She never fought the British. She went to the Mediterranean and she captured two Arab fishing boats and then sunk trying to recross the Atlantic.

    I think heavily armed is a bit overstated. A schooner can hardly stand up to a frigate, which is one of the smallest ship rigged Man O' War. A schooner is very weatherly and fast, though slower downwind. Lucky Jack Aubrey used a schooner as a tender for his ship, the Suprise.

    Now that's a ship for you, where every mile you go is earned by the sweat off your back and your skill at catching the wind and riding the currents. Of course, this is all on a nice day, imagine having to go aloft to reef those sails when the wind is howling and the sea is pitching the ship up and down and all around like a cork in a washing machine. Still, I'd love to sail on her, pity there aren't any oceans in the Midwest...

    Beautiful example of the Baltimore shipwrights who crafted fast vessels for a young nation. I disagree with the premise that these were ships of war. Privateers were solely commerce raiders who sailed for profit in taking British prizes out on the high sea. There were far more privateers than there were regular naval vessels under commission of the US Navy in the War of 1812, so much so that finding good sailors was difficult for the Navy as the privateers offered lax discipline and enormous profits. Privateers never engaged British ships of war unless they couldn't avoid it and used their speed to outrun the slower British frigates and two-deckers that ruled the coast of the United States through most of the war. They were a blessing and a curse to both sides of the war, and established an American style of ship making - the Baltimore schooner which led to many successful versions of fast and tough Grand Banks schooners and one low, black schooner that sailed to England under her own hull one day long ago, and won a small little yacht race over there that we now call the America's Cup.

    +divisioneight one of the things that many forget is that America needed to be free for many reasons and to get this they promised land and citizenship to any British soldier or sailor who would join them - many did and they knew this was a win or nothing exercise - if the British won they would surely hang as traitors. Don't forget that back in those days a foreign posting to America could last a lifetime or just some five years for the lucky few - by then you could have met a local lass married her and have children - why go back to starvation and the slums of England?

    one of the reasons the 13 colonies won independance was the high level of support for their cause & republicanism in the british public and in the House of Commons - that and the expense of war at a time when the brits were fighting a world war with France - as usual.
