Description

Based on documents never before publicly accessible from the US Navy; the National Archives of the United States of America and the British Home Office; 'The Sea King' is the first biography of one of the Civil War’s most fascinating players. As the rogue captain of the last Confederate commerce raider; the Shenandoah; James Waddell was a huge thorn in the side of the post-Civil war administration (they branded him a pirate and an enemy of the state); who single-handedly destroyed the US whaling fleet; almost brought Britain and America to war; and finally surrendered after a 22;000-mile journey at Liverpool. Proclaimed an American hero upon his death in 1886 he was given the only state funeral ever awarded for a former Confederate officer.
