Report from Joseph Bullock Coghlan to William H. Moody
Rear Admiral Coghlan reports on the status and movements of the American ships Olympia, Bancroft, Nashville, Atlanta, Prairie, and Castine. He notes that the ships will have to be coaled by African Americans or Colombians when at the wharf as his own people are “apt to get fevers and rheumatism from getting wet and working in the sun.”

Letter from Joseph Bullock Coghlan to William H. Moody
In his last report, Admiral Coghlan forgot to mention that during his trip to Cartagena, Colombia, he observed the Colombian gunboat Cartagena. The gunboat appeared to be in poor condition and had to be towed even though wind and tide conditions were favorable. The ship was “painted with war color.”
