Born at sea in 1819, while his mother journeyed from Ireland to the United States to join her husband, Maffitt lived most of his life aboard sailing vessels; before the Civil War he spent sixteen years with the U.S. Coast Survey, charting the eastern seaboard. In 1861 Maffitt, reared in North Carolina, sided with the South, enlisting in the Confederate navy. He is mainly remembered as the commander of the steam cruiser CSS Florida. With Maffitt at the helm, the Florida proved to be a formidable raider of enemy vessels, commandeering their cargoes of goods and bullion, badly needed by the Confederacy. At war\u00e2\u0080\u0099s end, Maffitt sailed to England rather than surrender his command. He returned two years later to the vicinity of Wilmington, North Carolina, where he purchased a farm."}, {"label": "Exhibition Label", "content": "Nacido en alta mar, oc\u00c3\u00a9ano Atl\u00c3\u00a1ntico"}, {"label": "Exhibition Label", "content": "John Newland Maffitt fue uno de los m\u00c3\u00a1s exitosos marinos contratados por la Confederaci\u00c3\u00b3n como corsarios y evasores del bloqueo naval impuesto por la Uni\u00c3\u00b3n.
