Publisher's Synopsis
""An American Transport in the Crimean War"" is a historical account written by John Codman in 1896. The book details the experience of the American steamship ""Massachusetts"" during its service as a transport vessel in the Crimean War. Codman, who served as a surgeon on the Massachusetts, provides a firsthand account of the ship's journey from New York to the Black Sea, including its encounters with storms and enemy ships. The book also includes descriptions of the war itself, including the Siege of Sevastopol and the Battle of Balaklava. Codman's account offers a unique perspective on the Crimean War, as it is one of the few written by an American participant.
