1827réf. 68286Charlestown Navy Yard January 1 1827. Court Martial for a Rude Sailor A brief letter from Commodore William Montgomery Crane to Secretary of the Navy Samuel Southard regarding charges brought against a midshipman by the name of Farnifold Green. The letter reads as follows: "Sir I forward herewith Charges & specifications of charges exhibited by Lieut. John White against midshipman Farnifold Green. I have furnished him with the charges & informed him that application would be made for his trial by Court Martial. He is now under suspension. I know nothing of this Officer personally. Lt. White represents his conduct as excessively outrageous & personally abusive. I forward a copy of his letter to me previous to the exhibition of charges not present." "Excessively outrageous" was an appropriate description for Green's actions in the navy. Despite being a noncommissioned officer the Southerner was a perpetual drunk both on and off duty who did little to hold back his invective for his superiors. In the Court Martial Lieutenant White recounted multiple incidents during which Green "repeated a great deal of abusive language; I could scarcely understand what he did say" and that he declared "My name is Green Farnifold Green of North Carolina and care for no Northern officer." He also "threw himself into an attitude for boxing" exclaiming to White "I'll crush you to hell by God!" He was also accused of dereliction of duty and faking illness to avoid work. Unsurprisingly insubordination and drunkenness were not deemed qualities befitting an officer: Green was found guilty of all charges ejected from the Navy. He then applied to John Quincy Adams a Northerner if there ever was one hoping to be reinstated but does not appear to have been successful. William M. Crane 1784-1846 began his naval career in 1799 aboard the U.S.S. United States. In 1807 he was present on the Chesapeake during its fateful encounter with H.M.S. Leopard. He commanded the schooner Nautilus during the War of 1812 where much like the crew of his former ship he was captured by H.M.S. Shannon. After his release he served under Chauncey on Lake Ontario until the end of the war. While serving as the first chief of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography he was traumatized by the fatal explosion on board the frigate Princeton in 1844 and eventually committed suicide in his own office in 1846. "Despite an untimely demise…Crane's career personifies the professionalism of the nineteenth-century naval officer corps" – ANB. Old folds minor soiling. Near fine. ANB 5 pp.680-81. unknown
