William Harwar Parker was an officer in the United States Navy and later in the Confederate States Navy. His autobiography, Recollections of a Naval Officer 1841–1865, provides a unique insight into the United States Navy of the mid-19th century during an era when the Age of Sail was coming to an end and the advent of steam power and ironclads was beginning.
