How Cushing Destroyed the Albemarle

by J. J. Sandeman

Overview

Cushing was distinguished by his readiness to volunteer, his indefatigability, and by his good fortune, the reward of vigilance and intelligence. The feat by which he will be remembered was the destruction of the Confederate ironclad Albemarle in the Roanoke river on the 27th of October in 1864. The vessel had done much damage to the Federal naval forces, and her destruction was greatly desired. This is a story of how it happened as told by one of the men who was with him that fateful night.
