From the Blog of 1812 "A running documentary of the War of 1812.
Feb. 9, 1813.
"Captain Burr arrived last night in 48 hours from the Chesapeake, was boarded by a British squadron there and ordered off. The squadron consists of the San Domingo, Maidston, Acosta and others, and they keep the bay in a state of rigorous blockade."
In order for a blockade to be legal, it must be enforced and evidently it was just starting.
