What confederate blockade runner was the first ship in the world entirely built of steel?
TheLionheart
Banshee: length 220', beam 20'4", draft 10', speed 15 knots. One of the first purpose-built blockade runners, and one of the first steel ships ever constructed for the Atlantic trade. Captured on her ninth trip, but had generated a 700% return on her investment for her owners by that time. She was taken into Union service on the blockade. Commanded by Joseph W. Steele.

What were two examples of why the Union blockade efforts against the South were not as effective as some historians have believed?
Two of the deadliest Confederate raiding ships, the CSS Alabama and the CSS Florida were built by the British and both were able to slip past the Union blockade of Mobile, Alabama. These raiders demolished a huge number of Union cargo ships. It was not unknown by the Union that the British were building these warships for the South, yet both of them were able to slip past Union blockade efforts.The other example is cited by US Grant in his memoirs of the war. He wrote that after his siege of Vicksburg caused it to surrender, he discovered 60,000 rifles in Vicksburg, and the best ones were made by the British. Clearly, the blockade was not as effective as many historians seem to have believed.
