Notes
Built in a British yard, the steam barquentine 'Alabama' escaped an order for her detention by the British government and as a Confederate ship, became the scourge of the Union, sinking scores of merchantmen and a warship, the U.S.S. Hatteras, before succumbing to the guns of the 'Kearsage' in the first deep-sea fight between steamships.
