EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts a historic sea fight between the CSS Alabama and the USS Kearsarge, two formidable ships of the late 19th century. In the foreground, the CSS Alabama, a screw sloop-of-war built for the Confederate States Navy, proudly displays her Confederate flag. With her sleek design and advanced propulsion system, the Alabama was a formidable opponent on the high seas. In the background, the USS Kearsarge, a Mohican-class sloop-of-war for the United States Navy, looms large. The Kearsarge, with her powerful broadside guns and impressive firepower, was a formidable adversary. This image captures the intensity and drama of the battle that took place on June 19, 1864, in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Alabama, under the command of Captain Raphael Semmes, engaged the Kearsarge, commanded by Captain John Winslow, in a fierce and prolonged battle. The Alabama was ultimately sunk, marking a significant victory for the Union Navy. This slide, likely produced in the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of naval warfare and maritime history. The intricate details of the ships, the billowing sails, and the turbulent waters all contribute to the authenticity and allure of this image.
