7 jul 1825 año - Captain David Porter, a perennial thorn in the side of the United States Navy, is courtmartialed for overstepping his powers when he chooses to land 200 troops at Fajardo, Puerto Rico, in November 1824.

Descripción:

Porter demands an apology from the port's captain for the detention of two errant U.S. officers. Despite the court martial, the American public proves largely sympathetic to Porter's insubordination. The court martial fails to reach a decision.
