Join us on Captain Isaac Hull's birthday as the author of the soon-to-be re-released biography, The Captain from Connecticut: The Life and Naval Times of Isaac Hull, takes us on a visit with Hull between wars, revealing his complex social life and search for a life partner with all its ups and downs. Maloney brings the man in the miniature to life.
