Summary

We may be done with the first six Caroline books, but we are not at all done covering Caroline. For this episode, curator and maritime historian Emily Powell Bera joined us for a discussion of a History Mystery. Emily is a recovering Samantha and lifelong collector of fascinating objects. We talk about Traitor in the Shipyard: A Caroline Mystery along with other War of 1812 topics, and of course, our favorite maritime mottos.
