1865. Instead of allowing the Yankee invaders to burn the CSS Jackson, the group of Confederates who built the Last Gray Lady decide to sail to Brazil. A retired naval officer, the author takes you on the trip south. How far could the vessel go before refueling? Where would the Yankees have tried to intercept? They were not going to allow the last Southern ironclad to escape. What would have happened when the finest casemate met the finest monitor? As on any long voyage, along the way a few fun things happen.
