Commander Davidson Bulloch, a former Confederate Navy submarine captain, gets more than he bargains for when he signs on as the first captain of Maryland's new "Oyster Navy" and sets out to rid the Chesapeake Bay of illegal oyster dredgers. Beset with an aging crew of misfits and his cantankerous iron-clad steamer, The Layla, Davidson quickly realizes he's dealing with more than just some purloined oysters; the nefarious pirate Treacher Fink has hatched a plan to summon the ghost of a legendary Chesapeake Bay waterman who has the power to control the sea and everything in it.

Wow; looks like a great way to strip the ocean environment.
Nice artwork but a the last panels a little scary.

Hey, thanks all! I’ll be updating weekly—every Monday. The first few pages are a prolog of sorts, but the things start kicking pretty quickly after that, so stick around!

My mom’s family comes from a long line of Eastern Shore oystermen and crabbers and I’m from the Tidewater area of Virginia. There are STILL bad feelings between the Maryland fishermen/oystermen/crabbers and the Virginia ones. Doesn’t help that the oyster beds have been decimated by farm runoff pollution flowing down the Chesapeake.
