Re: Death of J.C. Blacker, CSS SHENANDOAH.

Harris' text regarding the cruise of the "Shen" that I have has taken on greater proportions that original. Papers butt out of the leaves that contain bits of minutea that were not contained in either the journals or the logbook. I note that we do not appear to have the ability to email through the board. Terry, please contact me regarding ship's secretary Blacker's final disposition. To him and the thirty-nine other souls who appeared on deck after the Shenandoah cleared Melbourne Harbor goes a debt of gratitude. Regardless of what one holds as theirs as to side, the cruise was an act of seamanship of historical proportions made possible by the crew.
