Passage Throw'm In The Puget Productions 150 years ago, the S.S. Cumberland disappeared in the Pacific Northwest.

Double Share Nathan Lowell | Scribl A Trader's Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper: Book 4When he graduates from the Academy at Port Newmar, Ishmael Horatio Wang reports for duty in his first assignment as an officer.

He and the pilots are right, it was the Check Stations that were out of position, not the ships. But that's cold consolation because before the Arcturus reaches Mars it's attacked by a small, mysterious, globe shaped spaceship. (Summary from Wikipedia) Crossing Wires S.H.
