The 290 (A great book)Mar 24, 2006
Summary: This story is about a man named William Bromley who is an architect, and recently built a ship named the 290 that he fell in love with at the very beginning. Unexpectedly, on the opening day for the 290, it was taken over, and brought out to sea. William decided to sail with the crew, and the trip was on!
Throughout the book, William and the other sailors on the 290 are sailing about the sea, and taking over different countries ships. During the time out at sea, William discovers that since he had left home many years ago, his father had been working as a slave trader in Port-au-Prince. He deceived the men there into thinking he had spoken with his father's partner and stowed away 250 slaves on his ship. He then left them in the Canary Islands so that they could live a happy life without being given orders. This book has action and sorrow, but to find out what happens next, you need to get this book, and read it.

Too bad it's out of print!May 26, 1998
By maineiac@usa.net
This book told the story of the CSS Alabama and the USS Kearsarge. I read it growing up and have never been able to find it since. If you can find it, read it--it is a good read and a good history lesson on the naval tactics employed during the Civil War.

 The 290 A DisappointmentFeb 17, 2010
By Bruce A. Brotherton
This is a very thin little book. While it does stick to the facts to a point,the author has his character leave the ship for an extentded length of time and is therefore able to skip much of what happened to the Alabama. He does very little to develop the characters. I was sorry I wasted my time and money.
