Adventures evading Lincoln's strangle hold on the Southern
statesDuring the American Civil Wart the Union blockade operated to
ensure that few trade goods or war materials entered the
Confederacy by way of its Atlantic or Gulf Coast ports. The
'runners' themselves were mostly newly built, high speed vessels,
with a small cargo capacity, which raced between the Confederacy
and neutral ports in the West Indies and Cuba. One thousand five
hundred blockade-runners were destroyed, but still 5 out of 6
runners made it through the Union fleet to safety and the delivery
of their essential cargoes. This book was written by a serving
officer of the Confederate States Navy. He experienced naval
battle, the loss of his ship, capture, release and many
hairsbreadth escapes as he continued his precarious and perilous
vocation until the end of the Civil War.
