EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print captures a pivotal moment in maritime warfare history - the sinking of the C. S. S. Alabama by the U. S. S. Kearsarge off Cherbourg, France on June 19,1864. Created by an American artist in 1887, this artwork showcases the intensity and drama of battle at sea during the Civil War. The image depicts a fierce exchange between these two warships as cannon fire fills the air. The C. S. S. Alabama, a Confederate vessel known for its successful raids against Union ships, is seen engulfed in smoke and flames as it succumbs to its fate beneath the waves. In contrast, the U. S. S. Kearsarge stands resolute and triumphant amidst this chaotic scene. This lithograph provides a glimpse into an era when naval power played a crucial role in shaping America's destiny. It serves as a testament to both technological advancements in transportation and artillery during that time period. As we observe this historical event through artistic interpretation, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who fought on both sides of this conflict. This print allows us to reflect upon not only significant moments like battles but also their impact on society as they shaped our nation's future. Whether you are an enthusiast of American history or simply appreciate powerful imagery capturing moments of intense warfare at sea, this lithograph offers an engaging window into one such chapter from our past.
