CSS Tallahassee Running Short of Coal

AUGUST 17TH, 1864:  The CSS Tallahassee, Commander Wood, was by now running short of coal and headed for Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he hoped to refuel in order to continue his devastating attack on Federal commerce.

En route, the Tallahassee destroyed the schooners North America and Josiah Ashom and released the brig Neva on bond.
