Joachim Pease (born 1842, date of death unknown) was a United States Navy sailor and a recipient of America's highest military decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the American Civil War.
He was described as twenty years old, five feet, six and a half inches tall, with black hair and eyes and a "negro" complexion.
[1][2] Joachim Pease enlisted in the Navy from New Bedford, Massachusetts, not New York City, as commonly reported, and served on board USS Kearsarge during the Civil War.
His final fate is unknown, and speculations that he may have resumed life in the merchant navy or returned to Fogo Island remains unproven.
2 gun during this bitter engagement, Pease exhibited marked coolness and good conduct and was highly recommended by the divisional officer for gallantry under fire.
