The 1,200 ton commerce raider Nashville had arrived in Southampton in November 1861 to repair storm damage from her Atlantic crossing. The powerful U.S.S. Tuscarora reached the port and moored less than a mile away.  The crews sometimes encountered each other in the English port town and on this day brawled in a pub called The Bell. The Nashville sailed on February 3, 1861, closely watched by the U.S. Navy ship which was banned under international law from following her for 24 hours. (By John Osborne)

The Nashville was a 1,200 ton former passenger side-wheeler that had run between Charleston and New York. Originally assigned to take the Confederate commissioners Slidell and Mason to England, she was instead fitted as a commerce raider and slipped out of Charleston, running the blockade.  She did arrive in England in November, the first Confederate ship of war to dock in that country.  The incident this caused, however, was largely overshadowed by the Trent Affair and the fate of the Nashville's earlier intended passengers.  (By John Osborne)
