From Wiki File.
The sculptor of the Rafael Semmes statue was Caspar Bubert (1834-1899). Evidently one of the last projects he completed. The statue is of a standing Semmes with a long coat extending to nearly his knees and sword at side.
There are three bronze plaques at the base, one showing the CSS Alabama at sea.
The statue was completed in 1899 and dedicated June 27, 1900 and rededicated in the 1980s.
The statue is made of bronze and stands on a granite base and is located now at the intersection of Government and Royal streets.
Some More Semmes. --Old B-R'er
