"The English Pirate 'Alexandra,' Seized by the British Government at Liverpool"


Line engraving published in "Harper's Weekly", Volume 7 (January-June 1863), page 364.
Alexandra was built in Liverpool as an intended Confederate cruiser. Seized by British customs officials on 5 April 1863, while fitting out, she was not released until the following year. She was again seized late in 1864 at Nassau, Bahamas, under the name Mary and held until the end of the Civil War.
