Sketches in History | Don't Give Up the Ship (Part 2)

Sketches in History | Don't Give Up the Ship (Part 2)

The 15-Minute History Podcast team welcomes you back to another Sketches in History. This segment, just for kids, shows that history isn't just a story, it's an adventure. Join Lottie Archer as she dives into her extraordinary notebook, where sketches from history come to life.

In this episode, she returns to September 10, 1813, to witness the dramatic conclusion of the Battle of Lake Erie. After Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry's flagship USS Lawrence was destroyed, the 28-year-old commander makes a daring decision that changes everything. Rowing through enemy fire to reach the USS Niagara, Perry raises his "Don't Give Up the Ship" flag once more and sails directly at British ships. In this episode, your kids will learn about grit, witness the first time an entire British fleet surrendered, and discover how the tides began to turn in the War of 1812. Experience what it's like to stand on the deck of the Niagara as Perry transforms certain defeat into triumphant victory!

Listen and subscribe to the 15-Minute History podcast to hear Sketches in History every other Thursday. Got a favorite historical moment? Share it with us at 15minutehistory@gmail.com, and it might just make its way into the notebook!
