-Ensign from the CSS Alabama.

It is a huge wool bunting "Stainless Banner" type of CS Navy ensign (1863-1865), measuring 170 centimeters (67 inches) wide by 290 centimeters (114 inches). With the time, the white field of the flag has turned to a greyish yellow. The battle flag canton is about 86 centimeters (34 inches) wide and 142 centimeters (56 inches) long. The arms of the saltire measure about 21 centimeters (8.25 inches) wide.

Ensign of the CSS Alabama

Museum of History, Cape Town, South Africa

This flag was Probably made after the Alabama's first visit to Cape Town and left there on the second visit, a few months later, after the ship had cruised in the Indian Ocean.

It is believed that the flag was made by some of the British crew of the Alabama, between her visits to South Africa. That would explain the errors, that are very noticeable to the experts.

The flag was left with a ship's chandler in Cape Town, a man who had helped the Alabama on its first visit.

CSS ALABAMA 1995

The U.S. Naval Historical Center and the French Association CSS Alabama have signed a five-year joint agreement that establishes a precedent for international cooperation in archaeological research and the protection of a famous Confederate warship.

The CSS ALABAMA was sunk off Cherbourg, France, on June 19, 1864, by USS KEARSARGE. A shipwreck was located in 1984 by the French navy mine hunter CIRCE and confirmed to be ALABAMA by French navy Capt. Max Guerout. The non-profit Association CSS Alabama was founded in France in 1988 to conduct scientific exploration of the shipwreck and has, to date, completed seven underwater archaeological surveys and excavations on the site.

Although the wreck resides within French territorial waters, the U.S. government, as the successor State to the former Confederate States of America, is the owner of the wreck, as recognized by the government of the Republic of France. On Oct. 3, 1989, the U.S. and the Republic of France signed an agreement recognizing the wreck of CSS ALABAMA as an important heritage resource of both nations and establishing a Joint French-American Scientific Committee to consider issues of protection and the conditions for archaeological exploration.
