Here Comes the Alabama. The Career of a Confederate Raider – Bradlow, Edna and Frank

The story of the American ship that inspired the Cape Malay song ‘Daar Kom Die Alabama’. From the capture of a Federal ship, the Sea-Bride inside Table Bay, her voyage across the oceans for two years capturing and sinking 57 American Ships during the Civil War to her finally sinking in battle in the English Channel. Though British built and manned – except for officers – this southern rebel ship never visited an American port during that career. 16 Illustrations. Bookseller’s label on front fixed end paper.
