paration was made to storm the forts and breastworks as soon as. the Albemarle could clear the river front of the Federal war vessels protecting the place with their guns. Building the Albemarle at Edwards's Ferry. On the morning of April 18th, 1864, the Albemarle left the town of Hamilton and proceeded down the river toward Plymouth, going stern foremost, with chains dragging from the bow, the rapidity of the current making it impracticable to steer with her head down-stream. She came and wounded on the field, in their most heroic charge upon the breastworks protecting the eastern front of the town. General Wessells, commanding the Federal forces, made a gallant resistance, and surrendered only when further effort would have been worse than useless. During the attack the Albemarle held the river front, and all day long poured shot and shell into the resisting forts with her two guns. Commander C. W. Flusser, U. S. N. The sinking of the Southfield (April 18, 1864).
