The Niagara had seized the former Confederate raider Georgia outside Lisbon as she set about her first charter, with the Portuguese government, after the Confederacy had sold her to a Liverpool shipping company. Captured with their ship, her captain and thirty-three man British crew were well-treated and dropped off at the English Channel port of Dover. The Georgia herself was already sailing with a prize crew to Boston. (By John Osborne)
