The CSS Alabama, the most famous ship of the American Civil War, was a steam and sail sloop of war built for the Confederacy in 1862 by John Laird Sons & Co. in Liverpool, England. Under Captain Raphael Seames, the CSS Alabama engaged Union ships in the North Atlantic and the West Indies, causing enormous damage to Union maritime trade. After leaving Cherbourg, France, where it had docked for repairs, the CSS Alabama was attacked by the Kearsarge. Although the CSS Alabama fired more shots than its heavily armored opponent, it lost the battle and sank off the coast of Cherbourg.
