Ghost Ships of the Mersey: A brief history of Confederate cruisers and Mersey connections

K.J. Williams

4.9/5 (17712 ratings)

Description:I hope with the publication of this booklet that a famous part of Merseyside history will be explained. The vessels involved are two Confederate naval cruisers built on the Mersey and two that were later to surrender to the authorities here. One of the vessels, the Alabama, is arguably the most famous ship ever to sail from our local shores. The importance of these four cruisers to the Confederacy was immense, leading to the situation after the American Civil War, that the United States demanded millions of dollars compensation for the damage caused to their merchant fleet by the presence of these vessels on the high seas. Besides the Monitor-Merrimac ironclad dual this was the second most important naval event to arise from the civil war. For naval ships to prey on the enemy's merchant fleet brought out a new concept in marine warfare to be copied by Germany in the later wars. - from the ForewordWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
