LONG IN THE CIVIL WAR
SAILORS

The sailors listed in the index below all are African-Americans.  The story of black sailors in the Civil War is being told through the collaborative efforts of the National Park Service, Howard University, the Naval Historical Center, and a team of academic experts, using information from the National Archives.  A description of the project and more information can be found at the National Park Service's site right here.  The National Park Service's Civil War Soldiers and Sailors database eventually will have information on all Civil War naval personnel of all ethnic backgrounds.
