In the history of commerce warfare, CSS Alabama was the most successful raider in terms of the numbers of vessels seized - capturing and burning 55 ships, seizing and bonding 10 more.

She was christened Enrica and put down the Mersey River on July 29, 1862. It was not until after the ship had been armed from the supply ships Agrippina and Bahama off the Azores, that Captain Raphael Semmes commissioned her as CSS Alabama on August 24, 1862.

Cruising from the Azores, to Newfoundland, and south to the Caribbean, Alabama sank 27 ships between September and December of 1862. On January 11, 1863, she sank the auxiliary schooner USS Hatters of the Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron, about 20 miles south of Galveston.
