I hope they can identify this man. He served with Capt. Semmes on one of the greatest and most successful ships in US history. During 22 months at sea, without ever operating out of a home port, the CSS Alabama cruised around the world attacking Union shipping as a commerce raider.

Spending 534 of 657 days of her life at sea, the Alabama cruised the eastern seaboard of the U.S., the Carribean, the Brazilian coast, the Azores, along South Africa, the Indian Ocean, South China Sea, and the
Bay of Bengal, capturing 447 vessels and capturing or sinking or burning 65 Union merchant ships at cost of over $6 million to the US.
