Memoirs of Service Afloat, During the War Between the States V2 is a book written by Raphael Semmes in 1869. Semmes was a Confederate naval officer during the American Civil War, and this book is a firsthand account of his experiences during the war. The book is divided into two volumes, with this being the second volume. In this volume, Semmes details his experiences as the captain of the CSS Alabama, a Confederate commerce raider that wreaked havoc on Union shipping during the war. He describes the battles he fought, the tactics he used, and the successes and failures of his ship. He also provides insight into the politics of the war and the role of the Confederate navy in the conflict. The book provides a unique perspective on the Civil War, as it is written from the point of view of a Confederate naval officer. Semmes is a skilled writer, and his memoirs are both informative and engaging. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Civil War, naval warfare, or the Confederate navy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
