Synopsis
A small U.S. Navy wooden sailing vessel, the Alice, is accidentally sent a thousand years into the past when lightning strikes its experimental equipment combined with an illicit brandy still. The oddball crew must contend with Vikings, navigate unfamiliar waters, and find a way back to the twentieth century.
