There will be a small ceremony tonight to commemorate this infamous battle, where we will also celebrate the ALF's acquisition of the desk from the USS Kearsarge. Pictures to follow of the celebration!
Today is the 150th anniversary of the epic naval battle between the USS Kearsarge and the CSS Alabama. The battle, fought off the shores of Cherbourg, France, ended with the sinking of the Alabama, one of the most successful raiders in the Confederate Navy. The battle is one of the most celebrated in U.S. Naval history, in part because of the famous painting of the battle by Xanthus Smith, which is part of the ALF Collection. The ALF also has an impressive portrait of Captain Winslow, and his desk, which was just acquired from a private collector earlier this month.
