The War of 1812 has just begun, and the USS Constitution finds herself being chased by a squadron of five British Warships. An amazing but true story of Yankee ingenuity!
A "Master and Commander" for the ears!
Bob from Colorado - 26 May 2004
Artistically speaking, this program is one of the best ever created by the folks at the Colonial Radio. I purchased mine at the Old Ironsides museum while visiting Boston. I was assured by the people working the store that the program was an historically correct version of actual events of the Frigate Constitution. If you like classic sailor tales of wooden ships and iron men, then you will love this. Together (this show and their Barbary Pirates program) they make one heck of a great nautical yarn. Kind of like a "Master and Commander" for the ears.
Loved it, just loved it.

This program took me totally by surprise. I have never had much contact with the age of "wooden ships and iron men", but now I can see why so many people enjoy this genre. (I mostly enjoyed pirate stories, and I have never rooted for the good guys)...but this program had me from the get go. The sea battles are really intense, the story was unpredictable (and I hear true to history). Great fun, and great history. Old Ironsides Rocks!

Audio books
really are a wonderful thing, not only do they transport you to
other worlds, introduce you to other people’s ideas and culture,
they are also a lot more flexible than books. The book drains your
time in a world where time is a very valuable thing, in mp3or wma
format however; stories can be listened to anywhere and on any music
device. It doesn’t matter if you use an mp3 players or a cd player,
whether you are jogging, washing the pots or transforming the boring
commute to work with excitement and intrigue and you can listen to
them at any time.
Now with the internet audiobooks are a lot more accessible and
easier to obtain than normal books, going online for them is quick,
simple and saves time that would be other wise spend trawling
through stores trying to find one you really want.
Many sites offer a few free downloadable introductory titles, to get
you started and no doubt hooked on the splendour of them. What
better way to spend a Saturday evening than to sit back, relax and
enjoy a good audiobook, instead of renting a dvd or stagnating in
front of the television. Unlike rentals, they can be kept for life
and enjoyed again and again.
