Default Was it the alternator or the voltage regulator?

I made the mistake of disconnecting the battery in the boat while the
engine was running.
Now, as expected, my alternator is not producing juice to charge the
battery.
The alt. is on an older Ford 302 , is a 3 wire, and has an external
regulator.
What is it that goes when I made this mistake - the alternator or the
regulator?
Which should be replaced?

Thanks - Michael
