 p\;\nThe Annapolis Maritime Museum will present the second lecture in a 
 series of ten presentations for their AMM Winter Lecture Series on Thurs
 day\, January 24\, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM. Captain Jan Miles&rsquo\;s talk &l
 dquo\;Reliving Bicentennial History in the Pride of Baltimore Schooners&
 rdquo\; will be accompanied by a privateer history wall display and vide
 o showing PRIDE II under sail.\nCaptain Miles will highlight his experie
 nces over the years sailing both&nbsp\;Pride of Baltimore&nbsp\;schooner
 s as part of an international community of tall ships. He will describe 
 the role that&nbsp\;Pride II&nbsp\;continues to have in raising awarenes
 s of the role of Baltimore Clippers as privateers in the war of 1812\, l
 eading the British to attack Baltimore and Francis Scott Key to write th
 e&nbsp\;Star Spangled Banner.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\nSince 1981\, Jan C. Miles h
 as served as a captain of the reproduction Baltimore Clippers Pride of B
 altimore and Pride of Baltimore II for the not-for-profit company Pride 
 of Baltimore\, Inc.&nbsp\; Captain Miles has sailed these topsail schoon
 ers as far east as St. Petersburg\, Russia and as far west as Canton\, C
 hina\, demonstrating that skilled seamanship can achieve the superior sa
 iling performance required for Baltimore Clipper success as privateers i
 n the War of 1812.\nDuring the War of 1812\, America's Second War of Ind
 ependence\, President James Madison attempted to overcome the small size
  of the US Navy by issuing Letters of Marquee and Reprisal to private sh
 ip owners. This document allowed its holder to arm his vessel and act as
  a privateer\, or\, in essence\, a legal pirate\, representing the Unite
 d States. Privateers were permitted to prey upon the merchant fleet of t
 he belligerent nation\, Great Britain\, and take captured cargo and vess
 els as prizes. American privateers\, many of them sailing out of Fells P
 oint in Baltimore Clippers built throughout the Chesapeake region\, capt
 ured or sank some 1\,700 British merchant vessels during the two and a h
 alf year war. Other Baltimore Clippers served as cargo vessels to bring 
 needed munitions and other armaments through the naval blockade that the
  British imposed on the US coastline\, including Chesapeake Bay.\nFor mo
