Edwin Maffitt Anderson
Born in Savannah, Georgia, Anderson entered the Confederate Navy in October 1861, enlisting as a master's mate and being promoted within a month to midshipman. Briefly serving under Captain Raphael Semmes aboard the CSS "Savannah", he was sent across the Atlantic and, in August 1862, joined the "Alabama" in the Azores just before its official commission and would remain aboard the commerce raider throughout its entire career. Wounded during the battle with the USS "Kearsarge" on June 19, 1864, in which the "Alabama" was sunk, Anderson was rescued by the "Deerhound", a British yacht, and taken to England.
