About This Book

The narrative compiles official records, officers' diaries, and contemporaneous reports to trace the lifecycle of a Confederate commerce raider built and fitted abroad. It describes her clandestine arming, global cruiser operations against merchantmen and whalers, evasive maneuvers to elude blockades and enemy warships, shipboard life and command decisions, and legal-diplomatic controversies over neutral ports and prize law. The account culminates in a sea engagement with a Union warship and examines the material and commercial effects of the cruiser’s campaign on wartime shipping and international relations.
