Captain Duncan
Nathaniel Ingraham was born in Charleston, S.C., 6 December 1802. He was
appointed Midshipman 18 June 1812 at the age of 10 and, after distinguished
service, was commissioned Captain 14 September 1855. While in command of the
sloop-of-war St. Louis in the Mediterranean, in July 1853, he interfered at
Smyrna with the detention by the Austrian consul of Martin Koszta, a
Hungarian who had declared in New York his intention of becoming an America
citizen, and, who had been seized and confined in the Austrian ship Hussar.
For his conduct in this matter he was voted thanks and a medal by Congress.
Captain Ingraham served as Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrographer
of the Navy from 1856 until 1860. He resigned from the Navy 4 February 1861
to enter the Confederate States Navy with the rank of captain. He was
commandant of the Charleston station 1862 to 1865. He died at Charleston 16
October 1891. |
