Our next talk

"Great Snakes and Blockade Runners"

TUESDAY, 10th June 2025 AT 19:30

During the American Civil War the United States Navy made huge efforts to undermine the fighting power of the Confederacy by cutting it off from foreign trade.

The effectiveness of the blockade in preventing the flow of money and material to the rebels remains the subject of hot historical debate.

Rob Hewett will assess some of the unique challenges faced by the U.S. Navy in their operations and look at the arguments around their importance in defeating the South.

All are welcome and a lively discussion is guaranteed!

Admission is £5 per attendee including tea, coffee and biscuits
