David Porter served his country in the undeclared war against France, the Barbary Coast War and the War of 1812. While serving in the West Indies in the action to stamp out piracy (1823-25) --the period covered in this film--he invaded a Spanish town in Puerto Rico to avenge the jailing of one of his officers. The U.S. government did not sanction the action, and he was court-martialed. As a consequence, he resigned his commission to accept the post of Commander of the Mexican Navy (1826-29).
