Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the circumnavigation cruise of the CSS Shenandoah, the last Confederate States Navy cruiser, captained by James I. Waddell. In 1864, this English-built, steam-powered vessel set sail from England with the clandestine goal of engaging Union ships in battle and capturing their crews and cargo. The author, an officer on the Shenandoah, provides a first-hand account of the ship's raids on whaling vessels, the daring destruction of Union supply ships, and the challenges of maintaining a semblance of order and morale on a vessel whose crew was hastily assembled from captured Yankee ships. Their voyage took them around the globe, from the Atlantic to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, illustrating the vast reach of the American Civil War. This book offers a unique perspective on the conflict, capturing the personal experiences, daring raids, and ultimate surrender of the last Confederate cruiser on foreign shores.
