At the back is an envelope containing a detailed illustrated article on the Alabama, printed in the Argus on 20 March 2002. This fighting ship fought for the Confederate States of the United States during their civil war and sunk numerous Union ( Northern States ) ships, before it was in turn eventually sunk in the English Channel by the Union ships. It received a hero's welcome in Cape Town after capturing a Union ship in full view of the residents of Cape Town off the coast of Camps Bay. Some believe that the famous song "Daar kom die Alibama" dates from this time that the ship spent in Cape Town.
