Bluejackets in the Blubber Room explores key happenings in US maritime background from the 1820s to the finish of the Civil Warfare through the biography of the sailing dispatch William Badger. "While there are a number of literature that deal with whaling vessels, Bluejackets in the Blubber Room makes a contribution to naval and maritime literature. This book improves the understanding of the Navy during the Civil Warfare by delivering to light one of the neglected logistical vessels. These ships had an important role in the maintenance of the blockade and the eventual defeat of the Confederacy. The reserve is a dual and diverse background which will be appealing to Civil Warfare historians and the ones interested in whaling."
—Robert M. Browning Jr., Chief Historian of the United States Coast Safeguard and author of From Cape Charles to Cape Fear: The North Atlantic Blockading Squadron during the Civil Warfare
