The late Confederate cruiser Shenandoah in the Mersey, 1865. 'After taking on board her stores and famous vessel, formerly named the Sea King,...hoisted the Confederate vast damage to the commerce of the Northern States, as long as the [American Civil] war [She] sailed for the North Pacific, where, notwithstanding that the commander was repeatedly told by the masters of neutral vessels whom he met on the high seas that the war between the North and South had terminated, he refused to believe Waddell sunk, burned, and otherwise destroyed whole fleets of whalers in the Ochotzk Sea and Behring's thirty-seven vessels, the majority of which were whalers, and these were destroyed after the cessation of hostilities. To show how the operations of the Shenandoah affected the sperm oil market, we may state that her depredations amongst the whaling fleets has caused sperm oil to run up from £70 to £120 per Waddell, who has written a letter to Lord Russell to explain his conduct, states [when] he learnt that the South was really and truly at once stowed away his guns and ammunition in the hold, and steered for Liverpool'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
