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. |
