Excerpt from Proceedings of the Chamber: Of Commerce of the State of New York, on the Burning of the Ship Brilliant, by the Rebel Pirate Alabama, Tuesday, October 21, 1862 On every cape and headland these beacon-lights shone out, and on every inland shore, alike as a warning to the sailor against the breakers on the coast, and as a guide "to his destined haven." The darkness of night is still unrelieved along this entire line of coast, except at points - now not a few - where the national power has been re-established and the lights restored. This wholesale destruction of these hundred light-houses, or the removal of the lights therefrom, was suffered to take place without any special condemnation of the perpetrators of this wrong against the race of men "who go down to the sea in ships;" or, if the act has been condemned abroad, it has failed, if I mistake not, to attract any formal notice of foreign powers. The second event, in order, was the "stone blockade," by which it was attempted to stop, for a time, the main entrance to the port of Charleston, S. C. - an act deliberately done, after due notice, and not necessarily exposing ships, in pursuit of a lawful traffic, to destruction; nor, as is now abundantly evident, doing a permanent injury to navigation. Nevertheless, the stone blockade was thought to be of such importance as to justify the protest of Great Britain; and, by the press of England, the act was denounced as a flagrant offence against the commercial world. The third event - if I may describe a whole class as one - is the recent destruction by fire, on the Atlantic Ocean, of the ship "Brilliant," and numerous other vessels, under the American flag, by a steamship, which recently put to sea from the port of Liverpool or Birkenhead, and is now known as the "Alabama." This act awaits the judgment of "neutral" nations, whose opinion thereon will doubtless be expressed in due time.

During the American Civil War, British-crewed warships harassed Union merchantmen, sinking a total value of more than $15,000,000 in ships and cargo. Considered pirates by the federal government, these ships and crew were at the center of a largely unknown but fascinating struggle between Commander James Dunwoody of the Confederate Navy, U.S. Ambassador Charles Francis Adams, and Consul Thomas H. Dudley. This history of British assistance to the Confederate Navy covers that story in full and provides a close look at the British seamen who manned warships and blockade runners.

On June 19, 1864, the Confederate cruiser Alabama and the USS Kearsarge faced off in the English Channel outside the French port of Cherbourg. About an hour after the Alabama fired the first shot, it began to sink, and its crew was forced to wave the white flag of surrender. Working with personal papers and diaries and contemporary reports, historian William Marvel interweaves the stories of these two celebrated Civil War warships, from their construction to their climactic encounter off Cherbourg. Just as importantly, he illuminates the day-to-day experiences of their crews. From cabin boys to officers, sailors have been one of the most ignored groups of the Civil War. The sailors' lot was one of constant discomfort and monotony, interspersed with riotous frolics ashore and, occasionally, a few minutes of intense excitement and danger. Housed in damp, crowded quarters, their wartime mortality rate did not reach that of their army counterparts, but service-connected diseases shortened their postwar lives disproportionately. Most of the crewmen ended their lives in nameless obscurity, and their story has remained unwritten until now.
