Ordered to the Pacific Ocean to \"greatly damage and disperse\" the Yankee whaling fleet in those waters, the \u003ci\u003eShenandoah's\u003c\/i\u003e successful pursuit of her quarry compared favorably with the exploits of the more celebrated \u003ci\u003eAlabama and Florida\u003c\/i\u003e but has never been as well known because it coincided with the war's end and the Confederacy's downfall. It was, however, one of the best documented naval expeditions—from England to the Indian Ocean, Australia and the South Pacific, the Bering Sea, San Francisco, and finally to port in Liverpool—during the Civil War.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The ship's log and Captain James Waddell's notes are well preserved, and a number of the \u003ci\u003eShenandoah's\u003c\/i\u003e officers kept detailed journals of the entire voyage. One of the most significant journals, by Lieutenant William Whittle, is presented here, with annotations from other journals, the official records and logs, and newspaper accounts of the \u003ci\u003eShenandoah's\u003c\/i\u003e activities, together bringing to life the history of this remarkable voyage.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Alabama Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128702746864,"sku":"9780817387877","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780817387877_p0.jpg?v=1763749992","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780817387877","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
