"Argonautica" [permanent link]. A fascinating 'alternative history' tale set during the American Civil War.

To this end, they take possession of a armoured ramming boat and travel up a river with a lady who knows where the gold is located. But the boat Captain's greatest problems may not be from enemy soldiers.
