Model of Deerhound and Oar Piece:
Kearsarge rescued many of the survivors from the Alabama, but some, including Semmes, were picked up by the private English yacht Deerhound, and taken to England. Semmes gave a small model of Deerhound and a piece of an oar from one of Alabama's lifeboats to Evan P. Jones, captain of the Deerhound. |
