Disobeyed orders but onces. San Juan bearing Capt. McRae's body

McRae, famed for saving lives during the Morning Star disaster, served 44 years at sea and rose to command the Manhattan on the Savannah run. This obituary blends his heroism with a retrospective contrast to Jay Gould and broad cultural notes.
