Excerpt from Record of the Confederate Sailor, Vol. 1: Devoted to the History of the Confederate Navy and Those Who Served in It; January, 1925
On January 25, the 'shenandoah' went up the Hobson Bay, and anchored off Mel bourne. The arrival of a Confederate ves sel had been telegraphed up from the heads where the pilot had been taken on board. Crowded steamboats, tugs, and sailboats came down to meet her. And the sensation was immense. On communication to the Governor, Sir Charles Darling, and await ing his reply, no itors were allowed on board. By next afternoon the crowd became so great and then importunities so urgent, orders were given to admit them. That evening permission was received from the Governor to repair Ship, but at the same time requested the captain to state the na ture of the repairs needed, so thatthe length of time necessary for them might be known. Captain W'addell replied that he would call upon Sir Charles Darling at the Govern ment House next day, the twenty-eighth, at twelve noon. Punctually at the appointed hour the captain with three of his officers presented themselves, but the Governor was out.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the remarkable career of the Confederate Navy, which sailed throughout the American Civil War despite being outmatched in size and resources by the Union Navy. The author argues that the Confederacy's naval strategy, which emphasized commerce raiding and coastal defense, was ultimately more successful than the Union's strategy of blockading Confederate ports. The book also examines the social and cultural impact of the Confederate Navy, which included the recruitment of slaves and the use of ironclad warships. The author concludes that the Confederate Navy was a formidable force that played a significant role in the Civil War, and whose legacy continues to be debated today.
