Lt. Cmdr. George W. Young, USN

Continued from March 3, 2020.

In the last post, I mentioned his name and he was in charge of the naval cleanup operations on the Cape Fear River after the fall of Wilmington on February 22, 1865.

I haven't been able to find out too much more about him.

I saw that he was in command of the USS Maratanza  at both battles of Fort Fisher.
