“We woefully regret to inform you that this tour is not of the happy sorts. There are no smiles or laughs, and there is certainly no joy. Only the worst kinds of stories about death, destruction, and sorrow from our maritime history will be featured. So, if you are someone who has a bounce in their step (meaning that you are optimistic by nature and not that you have springs attached to your shoes) then this tour is not for you. You have been warned.”
