With your Reunion ID, you will receive a discounted admission. Across the street from the Museum of Mobile, we have brought in a life size replica of the H. L. Hunley from Charleston maintained by Mr. John Dangerfield. It will be open for the length of our Reunion at no charge. Next to the Museum of Mobile is the IMAX Theater and Exploreum.

Within walking distance of your Hotel are the Phoenix Fire Museum, the Mardi Gras Museum, and the Charlotte-Conde House Museum.

The Raphael Semmes Camp 11 members will be wearing black arm bands and are avail­ able for advice. We invite you to seek out our local flavor from our experiences.

  • Blockade-Running in the Bahamas During the Civil War* by THELMA PETERS
    Blockade-Running in the Bahamas During the Civil War* by THELMA PETERS T HE OPENING of the American Civil War in 1861 had the same electrifying effect on the Bahama Islands as the prince's kiss had on the Sleeping Beauty. The islands suddenly shook off their lethargy of centuries and became the clearing house for trade, intrigue, and high adventure. Nassau, long the obscurest of British colonial capi- tals, and with an ordinarily poor and indifferent population, became overnight the host to a reckless, wealthy and extravagant crowd of men from many nations and many ranks. There were newspaper correspon- dents, English navy officers on leave with half pay, underwriters, enter- tainers, adventurers, spies, crooks and bums. Out-islanders flocked to the little city to grab a share of the gold which flowed like water. One visitor reported that there were traders of so many nationalities in Nas- sau that the languages on the streets reminded one of the tongues of Babel.1 All of this transformation of a sleepy little island city of eleven thou- sand people grew out of its geographical location for it was near enough to the Confederate coast to serve as a depot to receive Southern cotton and to supply Southern war needs. England tried to maintain neutrality during the War. It is not within the scope of this paper to pass judgment on the success of her effort. Certain it is that the Bahamians made their own interpretation of British neutrality. They construed the laws of neutrality vigorously against the United States and as laxly as possible toward the South.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For More Information Contact: Bill Tunnell 251-433-2703 251-454-6556 PRESS RELEASE All Hands on Deck! Former Crewmen Returning to USS ALABAMA for Annual Reunion Mobile, Alabama, March 18, 2016 – The men who served aboard the USS ALABAMA (BB 60) will return to Battleship Memorial Park for their annual reunion on Friday and Saturday, April 15 and 16. This will mark the 51st year that the crewmen have assembled for the USS ALABAMA Crewmen’s Association Reunion. “April is the most special time at USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park,” commented Janet Cobb, executive director. “It’s a homecoming for the crew, a privilege only a few World War II sailors enjoy, that of reuniting with their ship. I can’t imagine how these men feel when they pull into the Park and see her at anchor, at rest, ‘The Mighty A,’ ‘The Lucky A.’ Whatever they might have called her back then, they’re still coming home every time they visit her,” Cobb continued. “We look forward to another special few days together with these members of the Greatest Generation and look forward to welcoming them aboard.” This year 12 former crewmen will be attending the reunion, along with wives, children, grandchildren and other family members. “This is such a special time for these families,” explained Bill Tunnell, organizer of the annual reunion and member of the USS ALABAMA Battleship Commission. “The reunion is the time that these brave men share stories of the war and their lives with their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, passing their personal history down through the generations.” As part of the Crewmen’s Association reunion, the Crewmen’s Luncheon, an invitation only event, will be held at the Park.

  • An Investigation Into British Neutrality During the American Civil War 1861-65
    AN INVESTIGATION INTO BRITISH NEUTRALITY DURING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR 1861-65 BY REBECCA CHRISTINE ROBERTS-GAWEN A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MA by Research Department of History University of Birmingham November 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis sought to investigate why the British retained their policy of neutrality throughout the American Civil War, 1861-65, and whether the lack of intervention suggested British apathy towards the conflict. It discovered that British intervention was possible in a number of instances, such as the Trent Affair of 1861, but deliberately obstructed Federal diplomacy, such as the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. This thesis suggests that the British public lacked substantial and sustained support for intervention. Some studies have suggested that the Union Blockade of Southern ports may have tempted British intervention. This thesis demonstrates how the British sought and implemented replacement cotton to support the British textile industry. This study also demonstrates that, by the outbreak of the Civil War, British society lacked substantial support for foreign abolitionists’’ campaigns, thus making American slavery a poorly supported reason for intervention.

  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.
