翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Gustavus Conyngham ： ウィキペディア英語版 Gustavus Conyngham Gustavus Conyngham (about 1747 – 27 November 1819) was an Irish-born American merchant sea captain, an officer in the Continental Navy and a privateer. As a commissioned captain fighting the British in the American Revolutionary War, he captured 24 ships in the eastern Atlantic between May 1777 and May 1778, bringing the expenses associated with British shipping to a then all-time high. He has been called "the most successful of all Continental Navy captains".〔Tim McGrath. ''Give Me a Fast Ship.'' NAL Caliber, 2014. Picture caption between pp. 274 & 275. ISBN 9781101591574〕 ==Early life== Conyngham’s story begins in a typical fashion for the era. Born in County Donegal, Ireland, in 1747,〔Mark L. Hayes. "Gustavus Conyngham" in E. Gordon Bowen-Hassell et al. ''Sea Raiders of the American Revolution: the Continental Navy in European Waters.'' Government Printing Office. p. 16. ISBN 9780945274490〕〔John C. Fredriksen. ''Revolutionary War Almanac.'' Infobase Publishing, 2006. p. 332. ISBN 9780816074686〕 he came to British America in 1763 seeking a better life. Conyngham immigrated to Philadelphia in order to work for his cousin Redmond Conyngham in the shipping industry. He abandoned school at a young age, sensing that his destiny lay not in the academic world, but on the oceans. Here he learned and perfected his seamanship skills, becoming an apprentice to Captain Henderson, who became a surrogate father to the young Gustavus. Eventually Conyngham progressed enough to be given charge over his own craft, the ''Charming Peggy''. When the Revolutionary War began in 1775, he immediately sailed to Europe to try to procure supplies needed for the war effort. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gustavus Conyngham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
