Perhaps more than all the campaigns of the Union armies, the Union
naval blockade-covering all major Southern ports along 3,500 miles
of coastline for the duration of the war-brought down the
Confederacy. The daring exploits of Confederate blockade runners
are well known-but many of them were British citizens operating out
of neutral ports such as Nassau, Havana and Bermuda. Focusing on
British involvement in the war, this history names the overseas
bankers and manufacturers who, in critical need of cotton and other
Confederate exports, financed and equipped the fast little ships
that ran the blockade. The author attempts to disentangle the names
and aliases of the captains-many of whom were Royal Navy officers
on temporary leave-and tells their stories in their own words.
