This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the sinking of the C. S. S. Alabama by the U. S. S. Kearsarge after a fierce Civil War engagement off Cherbourg, France on June 19,1864. The wood engraving from an English newspaper of that year beautifully portrays this dramatic event. In this image, we see the two warships locked in battle amidst the vast expanse of the ocean. The U. S. S. Kearsarge, representing the Union forces, stands tall and formidable as it unleashes its might upon its Confederate counterpart, the C. S. S. Alabama. The intensity of this maritime clash is palpable as waves crash against their hulls.

Let us cherish this remarkable piece of art that immortalizes an important episode in our nation's history - forever reminding us how far we have come since those turbulent days on that fateful day off Cherbourg over 150 years ago.
