Yes, Revere indeed had to elude the Somerset at anchor between Boston and Charlestown. The crew in the rowboat muffled the oarlocks as they carefully rowed past the warship on the way to Charlestown.

Read Paul Revere's Ride by David Hackett Fischer for all the details. It is a wonderful book and a very exciting tale.

Must be a liberal thing I guess.If its more than 5 years ago its not worth remembering?

I read that book on a ferry from Washington state to Victoria, BC. Gosh, you could make a movie about it.
