Topic: “THE AMERICA’S CUP AND THE CIVIL WAR –
The Remarkable Story of a Famous Racer-Turned-Combat Ship”
It’s a little-known story behind one of the nation’s most famous ships
and her unlikely role in the Civil War—in Florida—for both sides.
I’ll speak about where this ship operated during the war, how long
she lived afterward, and her ultimate demise.
