Episode 7
From Monitor ironclads and rusty mines to burning fortresses and blockade runners, how did the American Civil War spill out into naval warfare?
Dr Howard Fuller joins me to talk about the war at sea during the American Civil War (1861-1865).
We also discuss Dr Fuller's ongoing project to discover the shipwreck of the HMS Captain, which sank in 1870. Link to the project website below.
