The Cruise of the Confederate Ship "Sumter". (From the Private Journal of an Officer)
[Frank Drake]
Genre: | Diary, Travelogue |
Subjects: | Steamships, War |
Relates the impudent successes against Union ships enjoyed during the early part of the American Civil War by a Southern 'steam war-vessel' (191). The ship's blockade-running progress across the Atlantic is halted finally only by its 'boilers being completely worn out' (205). | |
