Sketches in History | Don't Give Up the Ship (Part 1)

Sketches in History | Don't Give Up the Ship (Part 1)

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 travels back to September 10, 1813, to the choppy waters of Lake Erie, where a young Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry faces impossible odds against the British fleet. When his flagship is destroyed and most of his crew falls, something incredible happens that will demonstrate what true courage looks like. In this episode, your kids will learn about courage, leadership under fire, and experience what it was like to stand on the deck of the USS Lawrence as cannonballs whistled overhead and a blue flag bearing the words "Don't Give Up the Ship" waves defiantly in the wind!

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!
