Clash of Sassacus and Albemarle Sinks to Flames and Steam
Eyewitness account from E Holden describes the Sassacus ramming the Albemarle during the battle. The ram broke free after collision as boiler pressure spiked and engines were strained. Chief engineer Mr Hobby remained at his post despite severe scalds, while that scene of horror recalled the Merrimac fight. The narrative ends with medical notes on arsenic effects on the skin and cancer risk.
