Prize Vessels is a historical book written by Gideon Welles and originally published in 1868. The book provides an account of the capture of Confederate ships by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. Welles, who served as the Secretary of the Navy under President Abraham Lincoln, draws upon his personal experiences and insights to provide a detailed and engaging narrative of the naval battles and strategies employed during the war. The book covers notable events such as the capture of the CSS Alabama and the CSS Florida, as well as lesser-known engagements. Welles also delves into the political and diplomatic implications of the Union's naval victories, highlighting their impact on the war effort and the broader context of American history. Prize Vessels is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American Civil War, naval warfare, or the political and social dynamics of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
