Chuck Veit, "The Yankee Expedition to Sebastopol," Eight Bells Book Lecture, Naval War College Museum, March 19, 2015.

The story of John Gowen (Raising Missouri). Several years after that event, he contracted with the Czar of Russia to clear the harbor of Sebastopol in the wake of the massive scuttling of the Black Sea Fleet during the famous siege. It took him five years, through a lot of challenges and problems, but he pulled it off and, again, astonished the world.
