The sloop-of-war was known worldwide for her phenomenally destructive campaign against Union shipping that extended from coastal Texas to Cape Town  South Africa. Winning prizes estimated at $6 million  the ship was eventually tracked down and sunk off the coast of Cherbourg by the USS Kearsarge. Despite enduring interest in the ship  many details of her structure and fitting are still a matter of debate. The ships clandestine construction and delayed arming produced often contradictory evidence. For this book  the author sifted through every known contemporary photograph  painting  model  and plan to produce the most detailed set of drawings of the Alabama ever published. With more than 250 illustrations  plans  and line drawings  the work will delight naval historians  Civil War enthusiasts  and model-makers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651999359029,"sku":"ByrdShop_1557500037","price":316.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781557500038.jpg?v=1781848011","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/css-alabama-anatomy-of-a-confederate-raider-9781557500038","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
