The son had loved his father dearly but does not favor his way of life. His interest in school greatly outweighed his interest or desire to work on ‘The Boat’. He still had a love for the sea and in some way felt like he should carry out his family’s tradition. After his uncle had accepted a new job he took his position on the boat and promised his father that we would continue to sail with him for as long as he lived, and when his father passed despite the desires of his mother he followed his dreams and pursued education and all of its wonders. After living his life he finds himself longing for the sea again and isn’t so satisfied with his life.

The first thing that started the events leading up to the war was the attainment of William Pitt to power in England in April 1804. It marked the beginning of a new and uncompromising British attitude toward neutrals that soon led to a crisis in Anglo-American relations. Next, Pitt took office and this caused the British to send naval officers to America. Then, in the spring of 1805, a British court declared illegal the lucrative American practice of converting goods from the French West Indies into “neutral” goods by taking them o U.S ports before shipping them to France.

I observed the boat like structures emerging from the endless ocean. I concealed myself in some nearby bushes just across the shoreline. Arising from these structures were light skinned settlers. They physically appeared like us except with an unreasonable amount of clothing. Furthermore, they wore knee high boots composed of gleaming limber material; many of them wore metal armor with shining helmets and chest plates. One in particular protruded from the others. He clenched a flag containing an absurd symbol. Furthermore, he proceeded to skewer the ground with the pole until it stood firmly on our soil. The man explained, “I claim this land for the Spaniards!” As I heard these words, I leapt out and confronted them. They stared, astonished by my physical
