Archival Adventures: USS Dacotah Engineer's Journal, Part 10 – Seeking the “290”
It’s time for an adventure! This week we return to the journal of Phillip Peltz, Chief Engineer of the USS Dacotah. After completing quarantine and repairs in New York, the ship sets out in pursuit of the infamous “290,” A.K.A. the CSS Alabama. Will they gain the upper hand, or will fate throw another obstacle in their path? Learn more about the journal here: https://bit.ly/Ms2022-090
