Schooner Sail to Starboard: The US Navy vs. Blockade Runners in the Western Gulf of Mexico. Denbigh Shipwreck Project #3 ReviewFirst, I am the author of the new intro.
From the Introduction to the Dogwood Press Edition . . .
"The writer is fully aware that several books already exist about Confederate blockade-running, enough so that one might think there is nothing new to be written, but many of those books deal solely with the Atlantic seaboard. Nevertheless, it was the author's desire to write a story devoted solely to blockade-running in the Western Gulf of Mexico, that is, the Louisiana-Texas coast lines.
Over a long period of years, the author collected a long bibliography of blockade-running stories, devoted to the heroism and ingenuity exhibited by both the Confederate blockade runners and the West Gulf blockading Squadron. . . .
The names of Admiral David Farragut and Raphael Semmes will always adorn Civil War naval history books. Much less known were the wiles, skills, ingenuity, and derring-do exhibited by the western Gulf of Mexico blockade runners. . . . The writer believes there is something of special interest and intrigue between the covers of this book for every Civil War buff to enjoy."
From the new Introduction to the INA Edition . . .
Why reprint this book? The most basic context for the Denbigh Project is the activities of the blockaders and runners on the Texas/Louisiana coast. The present book by Block provides the description required. The result is important both to those generally interested in the Civil War and to those interested in the history and nautical archaeology of blockade runners. This book is the third in a series of volumes that will comprise the Denbigh Shipwreck Project's report.
The new introduction includes Arnold's account of the Denbigh Shipwreck Project after which comes Block's original text reformatted and laid out, in turn followed by several new appendixes consisting of both sides' personal accounts of the blockade. Throughout the book footnote comments of particular relevance to the Denbigh are added. There are also 56 new figures.
