At the beginning of the Civil War, the Confederate navy was a modest collection of nearly anything that would float--mostly small, unmilitary vessels and a few captured Union ships; there was not one real warship in the fleet. The North had men-of-war and a large fleet of merchant ships that could be armed quickly. As a result, the North was soon able to blockade the southern coast and capture port after port.

The Confederate Navy deals with the early ironclads; with the Trent case, which nearly brought England into the war; with the fighting on the Mississippi and James rivers; and with the flamboyant blockade-runners who could make 80,000 in profits on a single voyage. It tells about the great ships--the Alabama, the Florida , and the Shenandoah; and the great seamen--Semmes, Maffit, and Bulloch, among others.
