February 27, 1863: CSS Alabama Takes a Prize
FEBRUARY 27, 1863: The CSS Alabama, Captain Semmes, captured and released on bond the ship Washington in the mid-Atlantic. Semmes noted: "She was obstinate, and compelled me to wet the people on her poop, by the spray of a shot, before she would acknowledge that she was beaten."
