Very good in very good jacket Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. 304 p. Halftones, black & white. Notes on Sources. Bibliography. Index From Wikipedia: "Commander William Barker Cushing (4 November 1842 17 December 1874) was an officer in the United States Navy, best known for sinking the Confederate ironclad CSS Albemarle during a daring nighttime raid on 27 October 1864, a feat for which he received the Thanks of Congress. Cushing's daring commando raid blew a hole in Albemarle ' s hull at the waterline "big enough to drive a wagon in." She sank immediately in the six feet of water below her keel, settling into the heavy bottom mud, leaving the upper armored casemate mostly dry and the ironclad's large Stainless Banner battle ensign flying from its flag staff, where it was eventually captured as a Union prize.
