| Summary | Diaries kept by escaped enslaved sailor William B. Gould, 1862-65, while serving in the Union Navy during the Civil War. Diary entries describe life on board the armed steamer CAMBRIDGE and later the steam frigate NIAGARA. The CAMBRIDGE was involved in the blockade of the South stationed out of Beaufort, North Carolina and Newport News, Virginia. Gould reported for duty on board the NIAGARA at Boston, which was charged with hunting down Confederate commerce raiders in European waters. Entries describe daily activities aboard the ship and in port, engagements with and captures of rebel ships, weather, hospitalization in Boston, fitting out the NIAGARA in New York City, stops at cities in Europe, and family news received in letters. |
