The image showcases three prominent vessels positioned off the French coast. From left to right, we see the Federal steam-sloop USS Kearsarge, the British yacht Deerhound, and the Confederate war steamer CSS Alabama. The inset portraits in this print highlight two key naval officers involved in this historic clash. On the left is John Ancrum Winslow, a distinguished US naval officer who commanded USS Kearsarge during this battle. Opposite him is Raphael Semmes, an accomplished Confederate naval officer who led CSS Alabama.
