CSS Shenandoah

[frontrank2]

The CSS Shenandoah in drydock in Australia. She was a Confederate commerce raider often given the credit for firing the last shot of the ACW. This occurred on June 28, 1865 when she fired a warning shot across the bow of a whaling ship in the Berring Straits.

A good rendition.

The men on the dock give a good impression of the scale of the ship.

Here is a link to 12 images of the Shenandoah & crew. There is a detailed timeline of the vessels' voyages. It includes the 1866 sale by the U.S. to the Sultan of Zanzibar.
