Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I ahu mai te akiaki mō te hanganga o New Tavern Fort i te whakawehi i whakatakotoria e ngā hoariri o te United Kingdom i te American War of Independence - te United States of America hou me ōna hoa Pākehā, France me Spain. I kitea nga ngoikoretanga nui i roto i nga parenga takutai o Ingarangi i te tau 1778 e te kaiwhaiwhai Amerika a John Paul Jones i tana whakaekenga ki Whitehaven, Cumbria. Ko nga mahi a tana kapa i te takutai rawhiti o Ingarangi i te tau e whai ake nei, me te hinganga o te French-Spanish Armada o 1779
, i akiaki te kāwanatanga o Ingarangi ki te tono i tētahi rangahau o ngā parenga takutai o te whenua. I kitea he ngoikore rawa te ahua o nga whakangungu, ana i whakaritea kia hanga 30 nga papahiko hou, i tu ki tetahi kopae i te taha tonga me te rawhiti o Ingarangi mai i Norfolk ki Cornwall.
