You really should listen to it. Its a great tape. Jerry Robbins does a great job as Captain Preble. Its fun, has battles, and is really exciting. I learned something that I did not know about the Constitution.

Wooden ships and iron men are the subject of this very enjoyable tape. I really got into the radio drama format. From what I read on the package, this story is true, almost too exciting to believe that it actually happened that way.

This was indeed a drama in real life. The sound effects again make the difference in listening to this fine narrative. After listening and understanding Commander Preble's leadership challenges, you come away (after listening to it and to "Old Ironsides: Escape to the Winds" previously)feeling that the Consitution was commanded by a lot of really able leaders and the crew was certainly professional and dedicated. The challenges they faced in this time period must have seemed overwhelming and that is brought to life in this narrative. Add to the collection of excellent tapes by Jerry Robbins.
