Acting Master Francis N. Bonneau, Confederate States Navy, (in service circa 1862-1865)

Francis Nathaniel Bonneau was appointed an Acting Master in the Confederate Navy in about 1862 and subsequently served in South Carolina waters on the Charleston Station. He was Master of the blockade runner Ella and Annie when she was captured on 9 November 1863. He was subsequently convicted of piracy on the basis of the aggressive tactics he employed to avoid capture, but the conviction was suspended and Bonneau was paroled in September 1864.

This page features our only picture of Acting Master Francis N. Bonneau, CSN.
