got outside (of Cherbourg) Lieutenant Commander
Thornton began to prepare his vessel for the fight.
All night long he worked with his men, fastening
chains and cables around her waist above the water
line and up to the rail, protection against the
shots from the Alabama
This is mistake. After his first service in the
war; In the Mississippi notla, Captain winslow was
ordered to relieve Captain Pickering, who had sailed
In command OF the Kearsarge, at Faya and did so,
He had the chains put upon the ship at once, many
months before her encounter with the Alabama.
