I don't know if I've ever seen a copy of it or not, but off the top of my head I can't recall the details. Suffolk Historical probably has a copy. <br /><br />Joshua Penny was the son of Edward Penny, Jr. of Indian Head, Cutchogue, and related to those of Pennys Landing. He wrote an autobiography which used to be available online. I just googled it though and, again, I can't find it. His turtle ran aground off Arshamomaque beach and was destroyed by the British. One man drowned, and Joshua Penny was arrested and transported to Halifax, later to be released in a prisoner exchange. Following that event the British fired on Sag Harbor. In terms of the blockade, though, the War of 1812 was a significant event. It was written that if not for the sea many would have starved.<br /><br />(Trying this a second time because I couldn't find an edit button. Hopefully this one is a little better.) betuadollarucanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09273213232998601518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7103274132077570190.post-50568134637364667382018-01-08T04:49:46.000-08:002018-01-08T04:49:46.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.betuadollarucanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09273213232998601518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7103274132077570190.post-2467015717528489662018-01-07T21:45:22.090-08:002018-01-07T21:45:22.090-08:00Thank-you for sharing!

The one at Pennys Landing, I think, involved some thirty-seven British causalities. There are also the stories of Joshua Penny, who tried to blow up a British ship with a submarine "turtle." It's interesting. betuadollarucanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09273213232998601518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7103274132077570190.post-81692618877396896832018-01-07T19:37:01.198-08:002018-01-07T19:37:01.198-08:00Very interesting find.

The memorial is located at the corner of Church Lane and Sound Ave. There is also an exhibit at the Nagles house @ Hallockville of two cannonballs, from that skirmish, that were loaned by my father.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01119200554295048843noreply@blogger.com
