Archival Adventures: USS Dacotah Engineer's Journal, Part 8: Caribbean Encounters

It's time for an adventure! This week, we return to the journal of Chief Engineer of the USS Dacotah, Philip Peltz as the ship patrols the Caribbean hunting Confederate blockade runners and trying to avoid the Yellow Fever epidemic. Learn more about Peltz's journal here: https://bit.ly/Ms2022-090
