June 19, 1864 Battle of Cherbourg France. The CSS Alabama was sunk by the USS Kearsarge. But not without a fight. This shot is still embedded in the side of the Kearsarge today at the Navy Yard. Both the quality of the powder and the coal were thought to have played a part in the Alabama’s loss. The British yacht the Deerhound rescued many in the crew including Captain Semmes. Unfortunately David White a slave from Delaware, who had been freed by Captain Semmes, from a Yankee ship, drowned that day. He is forever immortalized in the sea.
