Semmes was a commerce raider not a blockade runner. The css Florida ran the blockade in mobile

Semmes book memoirs of a service afloat is worth the read

This is true. This was his primary mission, and some of his records still stand today.
But he still had to run a blockade now and again to get refitted.

This really has nothin to do with blockade runnin in The Civil War, you should read the trilogy about the CW written by NewtGingrich. Wonderfully written books. Gettysburg, Grant Comes East,& Never Say Surrender. If you read these books, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Merry Christmas to all

Alkena Bent ran the blockade very well, until Patrick Swayze stopped him
