WE ARE SO BACK, CREW! Your captain presents to you a voyage into the New England shipbuilding industry pre-American Revolution. Tune in to hear about the independence movement, the cast and characters needed to make and run a typical American schooner, and the control the British government sought to have over the American coasts - all told through the schooner Sultana. It's a wicked good episode!
