Scoundrels, Rogues and Heroes of the James Iredell Waddell Never Surrendered It was over 1356 years ago that a Confederate Ship captain refused to believe a report in a newspaper that the civil war had ended. So he kept on attacking Union vessels. The native of Pittsboro, North Carolina, also com- piled the following additional distinctions: he carried in his hip throughout his life a bullet put there by a fel- low midshipman whom he had challenged to a duel; he commanded the only Confederate ship to sail around the world during the Civil war, plowing through every major ocean except the Antarctic in his travels of fifty-eight thousand miles; his greatest pun- ishment against the enemy came two months after his native south had surrendered; and, instead of sur- rendering his ship to the victorious Federal forces, he sailed it to England and walked ashore undefeated. Named for the Revolutionary Patriot and early Supreme Court justice, Waddell was given an appointment to the Naval School when it was located in Norfolk, Virginia. He was later given a commission in the United States Navy and served on several ships before teaching navigation for ten years at the newly established Naval Academy at Annapolis. In that town he married Anna Inglehard. Lieutenant Waddell had returned to sea when news reached him of the outbreak of the war Between the states. Resigning his commission, he slipped through the lines and accepted a commission in the Confederate navy. After routine assignments for a couple of years, in 1864 Waddell was sent through the blockade to England. There he learned that he had been appointed caption of an English-built ship that had been purchased by the Confederates. The ship, "Sea King" was quietly moved to the Maderia Islands, where it was converted to a Confederate raider, renamed the "Shenandoah" and When James Iredell Waddell resigned his commis- sion shortly after the Civil war began, the United states Navy refused to give him his back pay, As an officer in the Confederate navy three years later, Waddell exacted from the union an exorbitant interest rate. His price: the destruction of thirty-two Yankee vessels worth more than $1.1 million, plus misery and mortification incapable of being measured in money. put under Captain Waddell's command. The objective of the "Shenandoah" was to search out and destroy vessels belonging to Northerners, particularly the great whaling fleet in the Pacific. Rounding the Cape of Good Hope, the "Shenandoah" captured and destroyed or bonded several ships before proceeding to Australia for repairs. From there the ship, under steam or sail as the wind required turned northward, capturing ships, confiscating supplies and taking prisoners who, from time to time were placed upon a captured ship to be put ashore at a chosen port. Sailing past Japan, the "Shenandoah" slipped through the Kurile Islands and in the sea of Okhotsk within sight of Siberia, time and again peacefully approached Northern whalers, ran up the Confederate flag and demanded surrender. Further north in the Bering Straits, Captain Waddell and his crew scuttled or burned, he bonded six other captured vessels - that is, he required their captains to sign an affidavit committing the spared ships' own- ers to pay the Confederate government a reward, sometimes $50,000. showed Waddell a newspaper dated April. True, there was a report that Richmond had fallen, but there was also a statement by President Jefferson Davis that the war would continue with vigor. No amount of persua- sion by the whalers could convince the Confederate captain that the South had surrendered. Finally, though, on August 2, while sailing west of California, the "Shenandoah" came upon a British ship whose crew conveyed the unmistakable news that the war had indeed been over since April. Waddell sadly ordered his first lieutenant to "strike below the battery and disarm the ship and crew." The captain, however, chose to avoid the ignominy of surrendering to the government that had cheated him out of his back pay. Instead, he sailed his ship seventeen thousand miles, risking destruction by United states vessels that had been ordered to capture and sink the "Shenandoah". On November 6, more than six months after the South surrendered, Waddell sailed his ship into Liverpool, England, dropped anchor and hauled down the tattered Confederate flag. His account with the United States Navy had been balanced.- Originally published June 19, 1985 On June 23, 1865, the captain of a captured ship This tale is from Dr. H. G.
