Sea Miner

by Chuck Veit

Sea Miner is the reconstructed story of the U.S. Navy’s ultra-secret torpedo development program of 1862-3, which resulted in a ship-launched rocket-powered kinetic energy projectile a century ahead of its time. The brainchild of Army Major Edward B. Hunt, the veil of secrecy lasted over 150 years, until an odd newspaper headline provided the first hint that such advanced research had been successfully undertaken at so early a date. Sea Miner received the 2016 Award in Narrative Non-fiction from the Independent Publishers of New England.

Other books of interest include A Dog Before a Soldier, which tells the story of the U.S. Navy in the War of the Rebellion, and Raising Missouri, that presents the never-before-told epic of the loss and salvage of one of our first two steam-powered warships.

Steam Coffin: Captain Moses Rogers and The Steamship Savannah Break the Barrier

by John Laurence Busch

The story told in STEAM COFFIN represents an important event in the history of humanity, because the Savannah is far more than the first "steamship." With her successful crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, the human race recognized that it would be able to use an artificial power to alter time and space to practical effect on a global scale.

As such, the steamship Savannah represents the first example of globalized high technology in history.
