Stand By The Union

The narrative follows young Lieutenant Christy Passford as he embarks on naval service amid the war, confronting illness, mistaken identity, espionage, and the moral challenges of handling prisoners aboard a blockade vessel. Shipboard tensions escalate into close-quarters fights, secret orders, and joint coastal expeditions that include encounters with hostile craft, a sloop captain, and a raid on a small fort near Isle Grande Terre. Episodes balance action—boarding parties, night landings, and skirmishes—with scenes of personal growth, loyalty, and duty among officers and crew, producing a sequence of connected adventures framed by wartime suspense and practical seamanship.
