Uncle Harry Wells Survivor of the Confederate Alabama
Uncle Harry Wells known as Uncle Hasty Wells died Tuesday. He was one of 42 survivors of the Confederate cruiser Alabama, famed for her 1862 launching and 1864 sinking, and for raiding Federal shipping. Britain later paid about 15 million dollars to the United States for losses from the war era. Wells, reticent by nature, rarely spoke of his link to the privateer until a reporter learned of his role on the voyage beginning at Birkenhead.
