Description ▲

In 1842, the brig-of-war Somers set out on a training cruise. Among the teenage seamen was Philip Spencer, the disturbed son of the U.S. Secretary of War. When Spencer's scheme to kill the officers and turn Somers into a pirate ship was uncovered, the captain and officers faced a fateful choice. The result shook the nation.
