Summary

Description
English: Charles Wilkes (1798–1877) was an American naval officer and explorer. He led the United States Exploring Expedition, 1838-1842 and commanded the American ship in the Trent Affair during the American Civil War. Several incidents caused him to be convicted of various offenses in two courts-martial. This photo is probably from 1866 since it is titled "Portrait of Rear Admiral Charles Wilkes, officer of the Federal Navy".
