Some More On the Jabez Snow and CSS Alabama-- Part 2

The South Atlantic Expeditionary Raid is referred to as the most devastating of the Alabama's seven raids with the capture or burning of dozens of Union ships.

The first victim of the cruise took place February 3 when the Palmetto was burned.

The Jabez Snow was the 22nd of a total of 29 ships captured, burned or bonded.

Great days for the Alabama when it captured two ships in one day were Feb. 2, April 15, May 3, May 25 and June 4.  On March 23, the Alabama had three victims.

The last ship was the Express on July 6, 1863, which was burned off the coast of Brazil.
