CSS "Alabama": Anatomy of a Confederate Raider.

Annapolis: Naval Institute Press, (2002). First edition. The author was a descendant of the owners of Cammell Laird, the company that built this famed Confederate raider. He mined their files and other hitherto-unexamined archives to produce an exceptionally detailed account and description of her structure, fittings, and armament. Her history is discussed, but mostly from a naval architecture and construction point of view. Marvelous vintage photos. Fine condition in dust jacket.. 28.5 cm. 191 pp. b/w plates and line ills.
