Labor and Leisure at Sea
Daily life was busy for Civil War sailors in both the United States and Confederate navies. Every day, sailors worked long hours with little rest. Just like people today, when Civil War sailors were not working or training, they were often trying to claim leisure time while also staving off boredom.
