The Action off Galveston Light was a short naval battle fought during the American Civil War in January 1863. Confederate raider CSS ''Alabama'' encountered and sank the United States Navy steamer off Galveston Lighthouse in Texas. ==Background== USS ''Hatteras'' of 1,126 long tons was commanded by Captain Homer C. Blake and was assigned to the West Gulf Blockading Squadron off Galveston, Texas when she was sunk. The steamer had a crew of 126 officers and men and was armed with four 32-pounders and one 20-pounder naval gun. Captain Raphael Semmes commanded the 1,050 ton sloop-of-war CSS ''Alabama'' which carried 145 officers and men with six 32-pounders, one 110-pounder and one 68-pounder gun.
