I have an agent looking into chartering a cruise with The History Guy. This would be a relatively intimate ship- perhaps 100-200 passengers. The plan would be either the East Cost or the Mississippi, and would focus on historical sites along the way. I would do historical presentations as well as mingle personally. Tentatively we would schedule summer or fall of 2024.
At this point I am just gauging interest to see if it is an idea worth pursuing. If you might at all be interested, please respond here and we can start to work on details.

In August of 1918, as the armies of Europe neared exhaustion, American troops of the 28th “Keystone” division were thrown into a nearly forgotten battle that fully represented the horrors of the War to End All Wars.
Of the vaunted ironclad warships of the US Civil War perhaps the mightiest and most terrifying was the confederate ram Tennessee. On August 5, 1864, she would be put to the test in the largest naval engagement of the war, an engagement that defined the divided loyalties of the War of the Rebellion.
