description: "I christen you the Rachel Victoria."With those prophetic words, the last of the specially built privateers, commissioned by the Navy Department from the Saunders ship-building family of Rhode Island, slid down the ways into the Pettaquamscott River.It was 1863 and the tenor of the Civil War had changed. The North was in full command. The South stared defeat in the eye, yet still refused to surrender. The blockade of the Southern ports had been highly effective. Only a short time remained before the fratricidal war that had rendered a nation and it's people asunder, was to come to its bitter end.In an action packed adventure story o the high seas, we continue to follow the story of the Saunders family, which began the building of the privateer Catherine, and its great successes.
