Great article.

Even though the local officials backed out, I'm glad the group carried out their original plan to remember the CSS Shenandoah's last day. I would've loved to have joined them at the historic pub to offer a toast to the Officers and crew of the Shenandoah.

"The day ended at the Old Ship pub in Brighouse, Yorkshire. The inn's facings are the surviving timbers from HMS Donegal: old beams that too saw the Mersey when the last Confederate unit disbanded."
