They were adapted for the high-speed dashes through the Union blockade which closed off all the major Southern ports, and for much of the war they brought much-needed food, clothing and weaponry to the Confederacy.\u003cbr\u003eThis book traces their operational history, including the development of purpose-built blockade running ships, and examines their engines, crews and tactics. It describes their wartime exploits, demonstrating their operational and mechanical performance, whilst examining what life was like on these vessels through accounts of conditions on board when they sailed into action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angus Konstam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841766364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841766362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.26w x 0.17d","brand":"Angus Konstam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080173449471,"sku":"9781841766362","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a1e92ec-2f4a-480f-bc18-ef7d57f83117.jpg?v=1685485329","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/confederate-blockade-runner-1861-65-angus-konstam-9781841766362","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
