Description
A seagoing adventure story that takes place in the U.S. and the Mediterranean. It begins in the year 1800. A small commercial shipbuilder constructs a fighting frigate and becomes entangled with a government bureaucracy. The privately owned frigate provides protection for cargo boats. The frigate is, in essence, a privateer. This convoluted historic (fiction) novel is laced with enough humor and dangerous enemies to keep you turning pages. A novel written for businessmen, sailboat, and powerboat enthusiasts, and those interested in old Naval battle stories.
