The Roman Warship "Imperator" is now under construction at a shipbuilding yard along the Rhine River in Germania. The Trireme will be the "mother ship" for three fast-moving smaller armed vessels, the four ships making up the Rhine River Pirate Patrol Command. The Pirate Patrol Command will patrol the extensive shallows at the mouth of the Rhine River as well as along its length so far as is navigable. The story "Rhine River Patrol" is a story of the political and social situations related to the construction of these vessels. The construction of these vessels is going slowly as materials for this effort are being brought in from distant ports of call. Respectfully Submitted Marcus Audens |
