Course Over Ground

The autumn of 1863 proves to be one of the most consequential periods in history as the American Civil War rages into its third year. The Union's territorial gains combined with the naval blockade of the Gulf Coast have Confederate soldiers, civilians, and industry leaders alike feeling the pressure begin to mount. After several peaceful years of employment at a Mobile, Alabama shipyard, Captain Alan Chambers is suddenly compelled into service upon the high seas, an unexpected reacquaintance with the profession of his youth. As events in his hometown begin spiraling out of control, it soon becomes evident that the Union Navy will not be the only adversary he is forced to face.
