[1] On 28 June, CSS Shenandoah burnt Brunswick, Alden T. Potter, master, in Bering Straits Narrows near Mys Dezhneva (“East Cape”), Chukotka.

Brunswick was beyond salvaging though Captain Potter had heeled her over to keep more water from coming in.

The captains of the other whalers had come aboard to purchase at auction her cargo and moveable gear.

Two heads of baleen had been sold and transferred to James Maury when a steamer approached.

[3] In all, CSS Shenandoah burnt 20 whale ships, occasioning one of the greatest episodes of losses in the region.
