Some More on the Jabez Snow and the CSS Alabama-- Part 1
At the csa-dixie site there is a complete list of all ships attacked by the CSS Alabama arranged alphabetically.
Wikipedia says the destruction of the Jabez Snow was part of the CSS Alabama's South Atlantic Expeditionary Raid which commenced shortly after the Alabama left Haiti and the Caribbean Sea and cruised south to Brazil. The cruise lasted from February 6, 1863, and ended in July.
Most of this raid took place off the coast of Brazil and ended when the Alabama headed for east for Africa and the Indian Ocean.
