The Cruise of the Alabama and the Sumter

by Raphael Semmes
352 pgs.

The Cruise of The Alabama and The Sumter was written from the private journals and papers of Commander Raphael Semmes, and other officers including Lt. R.F. Armstrong and Master Mate G. Townley Fullam. Semmes was appointed a commander in the Confederate Navy in April of 1861. He was ordered to New Orleans to convert a steamer into the cruiser the CSS Sumter. During six months of operation in the Atlantic and West Indies he captured 18 merchant vessels while skillfully eluding Union warships.

Semmes was promoted to Captain and given command of the newly built cruiser CSS Alabama. For nearly two years he took his ship through the Atlantic, into the Gulf of Good Hope, and into the East Indies capturing many merchantmen and sinking the Federal warship the USS Hatterass.
