After reading Joseph Goulden's book review of "A World on Fire: Britain's Crucial Role in the American Civil War" ("When Britain sided with the South," Tuesday), I wonder whether author Amanda Foreman called CSS Alabama a "privateer. The ship didn't operate under letters of marque as a privateer. CSS Alabama was a commissioned warship in the Confederate States Navy.

• Plenty of 'Pirates,' but No Sea Battles This Time

LOS ANGELES -- There's a moment in the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" film when a peg-legged privateer calls his crew to battle stations -- an enemy ship has been spotted on the horizon. But the high-seas skirmish never happens. In a bit of shocker, not one cannon ball flies in all 137 minutes of this buccaneer blockbuster. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" arrives in theaters Friday with an expensive star in Johnny Depp and a budget somewhere north of $200 million just to make the film. Still, the project was a tighter ship when it came to visual effects and those open-ocean scenes that drive up costs on a movie. From a creative standpoint, the filmmakers say they were looking to refresh the franchise with new faces and a new, leaner plotline.
