An interactive look at the History of
The
Crimson Tide

"Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll!
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;
Man marks the earth with ruin —his control
Stops with the shore."
Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, Canto iv. Stanza 179
-Lord Byron

Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll -
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll.
Excerpt from Rudyard Kipling poem Tommy


The Alabama Roll
CSS ALABAMA
When the Alabama's keel was laid,
Roll, Alabama, roll.
It was laid in the yard of Jonathan Laird,
O, roll, Alabama, roll.

It was laid in the yard of Jonathan Laird,
Roll, Alabama, roll.
It was laid in the town of Birkenhead,
O, roll, Alabama, roll.
Down the Mersey ways she rolled then,
Roll, Alabama, roll.
Liverpool fitted her with guns and men,
O, roll, Alabama, roll.
From the Western Isles she sailed forth,
Roll, Alabama, roll.
To destroy the commerce of the North,
O, roll, Alabama, roll.
 


To Cherbourg port she sailed one day
, Roll, Alabama, roll.
To take her count of prize money,
O, roll, Alabama, roll.
Many a sailor he saw his doom,
Roll, Alabama, roll.
When the Kearsage hove in view,
O, roll, Alabama, roll.
A ball from the forward pivot that day, Roll, Alabama, roll.
Shot the Alabama's stern away,
O, roll, Alabama, roll.
Off the three mile limit in '64,
Roll, Alabama, roll.
The Alabama sank to the ocean floor, O, roll, Alabama, roll.
