  • Coastal and River Forts – Much of Union naval action was against coastal and river forts, and the Confederacy relied on forts to protect their ports, both seaside and river
  • Money and Financing the Civil War
  • Navy guns – The Civil War was a time of rapid innovation in naval guns, especially the development of the shell gun, as opposed to just solid shot cannons

  • My description of Union Navy Officer Ranks in the Civil War – Naval ranks during the Civil War, especially in the very beginning, were rather different from modern naval ranks. I recommend you read this section before reading my Civil War novels. The stories will make more sense.
  • Union Ships – All of the ships mentioned in my Civil War novels were real ships. They are all listed here. But the list includes many other famous ships – and many not so famous.
