	Robinson was a member of the Philadelphia Ship Masters' Association and served as Lieutenant in HORNET with Joshua Barney. He later commanded the 10-gun ~~ContinentalSloop~~-of-War SACHEM, fitted out by the Marine Committee shortly after Admiral Hopkins' Fleet sailed for New Providence in 1776, and captured a six-gun British LETTER OF MARQUE off the Virginia Capes. Appointed Captain in the Continental Navy on October 10 1776, he assumed command of the 14-gun Brig ANDREW DORIA. One of the more important smaller vessels of the Continental Navy, the brig sailed under orders of the Secret Committee, dated October 17 1776, for the Dutch island of St. Eustatius to take on a cargo of military stores. Upon the return voyage in late November, he captured the British 12-gun Sloop-of-War RACEHORSE after a 2-hour engagement near Puerto Rico. The following year, Captain Robinson cruised against enemy shipping off Cape May, but was finally blockaded in the Delaware River. During the defense of Philadelphia, and following the destruction of Fort Mifflin on November 15 1777, he was forced to burn ANDREW DORIA to prevent her from falling into enemy hands. He commanded the 12-gun Pennsylvania Privateer POMONA in 1779 and succeeded in taking several British privateers. The date of his death is unknown, but his will, dated August 12 1777, was probated in the city of Philadelphia on September 25 1781		Robinson was a member of the Philadelphia Ship Masters' Association and served as Lieutenant in HORNET with Joshua Barney.

<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner).
Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date
range for covers on that page.

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a
separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. Within each set,
the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one
postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of
earliest known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
<br/> <br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.
