Dr. Charles Lining was a Confederate States Naval Officer and a significant member of the crew assigned on board a most interesting ship.
In accordance with the non-fiction account of the 1864-1865 voyage of the Confederate States commerce raider CSS Shenandoah, Dr. Charles Lining served as one of its senior officers in his billet as the surgeon on board during its 13-month, 58,000-mile circumnavigation of the globe to carry out its assigned duty of the disruption of the commerce of the North, most particularly the significant income for New England derived from their whaling ships' journeys into the Bering Sea. The Shenandoah crossed the equator 4 times and during their incredible voyage covering points from its Liverpool, England departure, around South Africa's Cape of Good Hope, into Antarctic waters, an extended stopover for repair and provisioning at Sydney, Australia, from the South Pacific into Arctic waters above the Aleutian Islands, south around South America's Cape Horn, then back to Liverpool to surrender their ship to the English after learning of the defeat of the Confederate States. Lieutenant Lining played a significant part as its medical officer on this ship during its adventures and misadventures.
Shenandoah was said to have "destroyed 32 vessels, ransomed 6 others, and taken 1,053 prisoners. In all the value of the vessels and cargoes destroyed by the raider, according to her officers' calculations, came to $1.4 million." It was also said by her Captain that "the last gun in defense of the South was fired from her deck."
The book is entitled SEA OF GRAY and was written by Tom Chaffin.
I suggest that you consider adding all or whatever portion of this note you deem appropriate to the Find-A-Grave Memorial for Lieutenant (Dr.) Charles Lining.
