Summary

The year is 1862, and the US is engaged in a deadly civil war. President Lincoln has ordered the Navy to blockade all Southern seaports. Neutral nations like England were told not to try and break through the blockade.

This story by the classic author Jules Verne relives the adventures of one English ship, the Dolphin, and its attempt to “run the blockade” into Charleston, South Carolina. Join Captain James Playfair as he makes plans for the voyage and how he discovers something unusual about his newest crewmember.
