Sword


This French naval sword belonged to Captain Frederick Lee (1766-1831) of Madison, Connecticut. It is probably the one he used during his twenty-year career in the United States Revenue Cutter Service. He was that organization's first Captain, and served during the War of 1812.
Gift of Charles L. Scranton in 1902
