Leveller,
Sorry 'bout that.
According to Margaret Dean-Smith index, the song Paul Jones starting 'The American frigate, the Richard' by name' is about the battle which took place at Flamborough Head on Sept. 23 1799.
As no other such battle took place this side of the pond I assumed the one I sent to be a corruption of the Dean Smith one.
Don't know anything about it I'm afraid, but I'll have a look when I get time
Jim
