Book excerpt: Author Pat and Cecil Gates -- builder of outrigger canoes, a double-ender cruiser, dune buggy, motorcycles, six naval ships, and one TITANIC -- take off on eight river adventures around the USA and wind up in Hawaii. Objective? To teach history of our proud Navy through high-profile miniature ships -- an "up with America" thought to youngsters. Through their ships they conveyed the sacrifices made to give us the freedoms we enjoy. Their unique adventure takes them to NY Harbor for the 200th birthday of our nation, back again for the unveiling of the Statue of Liberty, and to Pearl Harbor for the 50th anniversary memorial. Thousands of miles traveled on America's waterways yield a tale of high adventure, loss of various ships, calling the Coast Guard for help on Chesapeake Bay, being guests of the Navy in their East Coast ports, meeting CEO's, Navy flag officers, Congressmen /Senators -- and the wonderful people of America. The tale of their unusual travels will captivate adventurers and loyal American hearts.
