  • Charles Boarman (December 24, 1795 –September 13, 1879) was a career officer in the United States Navy. He entered the naval service shortly before the War of 1812 and served until 1876, subsequently retiring as a rear admiral. He held a number of important posts, both in peace and wartime, in the Mediterranean, West Indies and Brazil Squadrons and as commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He was also assigned to special duty during the American Civil War and a member of the U.S. Naval Board at Washington, DC. After attending naval school at the Washington Navy Yard, Boarman saw service as a young midshipmen aboard the USS Jefferson during the War of 1812 and later took part in anti-piracy operations in the early 1820s. He commanded a number of warships between 1827 and 1850, most notably, the USS Brandywine during the Mexican-American War. In 1876, Boarman was promoted to rear admiral on the retired list and died in Martinsburg, West Virginia three years later. He was among several of Catholic background, such as John Cassin, Patrick McDonough, and Philip C. Wederstrandt, to become high ranking naval officers in the early years of the U.S. Navy. He was also, at the time of his death, the longest serving naval officer on the Navy Register with 68 years service. The Boarman family home, the Boarman House, occupied by the family for over a century, is a state historical landmark in West Virginia.
