CSS Alabama's only battle victim

     The wreckage of the only U.S. Navy ship actually sunk by The CSS Alabama during a battle in The Civil War has been exposed somewhat by recent storms off the Texas Coast...and now the Federal Government is working to map the wreckage of The USS Hatteras before it is covered up again.
     The sinking happened on January 11, 1863.
     Read the news release from The NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries here.
     For more information about the English-built steam & sail ship The CSS Alabama, check out our rather dormant but still interesting website here.
