The Confederate Navy secretly bought the ship and sailed it to the Portuguese island Madeira and refitted it as a warship. The Confederate Navy commissioned the ship as the CSS Shenandoah on October 19, 1864. According to John Baldwin, author of "Last Flag Down: The Epic Journey of the Last Confederate Warship," during its 12 months of raiding, the Shenandoah captured or sank thirty-eight Union merchant vessels. The Shenandoah fired the last shot of the Civil War, at a whaler off the Alaska Peninsula along the Aleutian Islands. After the war officially ended, the Shenandoah from June 22 to June 28 1865 captured or sank 24 whaling ships. The ship than headed for San Francisco. On August 2, 1865 while en route to San Francisco, the ship's captain learned from the captain of a British ship that the rumors that the war had ended were true. Fearing the crew of the ship would be hanged as pirates, the captain sailed the Shenandoah 9,000 miles to Liverpool England to surrender to British authorities.Includes an index of subjects found in Volume 3 created by the publishers of the United States Army and Navy Journal and Gazette of the Regular and Volunteer Forces.CD-ROM works with Windows and MACArmy Navy Journal August 26, 1865 article on the reduction and consolidation of the Union ArmyArmy Navy Journal September 9, 1865 article on post Civil War reconstruction policies of President JohnsonArmy Navy Journal September 9, 1865 article on Freedmen's Bureau activity in MississippiArmy Navy Journal October 14, 1865 article on the progress of the issuance of pardon to ConfederatesArmy Navy Journal April 7, 1866 printing of President Jonson's proclamation the succession has endedArmy Navy Journal March 31, 1866 publishing from the transcript of General Lee's testimony before the Congressional Reconstruction Committee concerning treatment of Union POWsAdvertisement appearing in the Army Navy Journal for the Hotchkiss Shell & Fuse
