Telescope - 2 6 5 - - 2 6 6 - Telescope Captain William James Taylor (1882-1958) William James Taylor was born at Buffalo, New York, in 1882, the son of Henry and Charlotte Taylor. During his boyhood, his father was employed in a ship chandlery at Buffalo, and here it was that young William found his interest in ships— an interest which would influence his entire life. At the age of fourteen he began sailing on the small steam barge JUNO (Can. 90771), built in 1885 at Wallaceburg, Ont. He used to describe his first job as a combination of cabin boy, deckhand and general laborer. Later on he sailed on the schooners MADEL­ EINE T. DOWNING (US 90634) of 1873, SINGAPORE (Can. 77629) of 1873 also, and J. G. KOLFAGE, a Canadian schooner built in 186 9— five years before Canadian vessels began to be registered.

JEWETT, US 95712, built 1882 at Buffalo). She ran on the Chicago and Buffalo service in the fleet of Erie Railroad's Union Steamboat Line. In 1902 he entered what would be his life­ time work, the employment with the United States Lighthouse Service. Although he was a well-experienced sailor— having put in time in both sailing ships and steamships in a variety of Great Lakes trades— he confessed he found the work in the Lighthouse Service much more difficult and "rugged" than he had ever expected it would be. Life on a light­ house tender was an ever-changing panorama, which lasted each year from April to Decem­ ber , seven days a week. Between the first placing of buoys in early spring and the last trips taking home the lighthouse personnel for the winter, there were the hundred duties of servicing equipment, carrying supplies, and the like. As officer Taylor rose in the U. S. Lighthouse Service, he held the post of mate on the tenders CLOVER, MARIGOLD and AMARANTH, and was later commander of CLOVER Taylor Photo graph, s: 7-8 SELF-UNLOADING VESSELS.

Telescope - 2 6 9 - - 2 7 0 - Telescope and ASPEN. (Note: See Telescope, March, April and June of 1962, for a listing of the Lighthouse tenders of the lakes— Editor.) Captain Taylor spent fourteen years on the bridge of ASPEN. In 1935 Captain Taylor retired from the Lighthouse Service, and made residence on Drexel Avenue on Detroit's east side. Early in his sailing days he had found photography an interesting hobby, and soon he was taking pictures of all the ships he saw. Today, many of these pictures are col­ lectors' items of great value. After his retirement, he devoted all of his time to marine photography. He purchased a small motorboat and a very large camera. With his son, Wainwright, navigating his boat, and handling the camera himself, he cruised up and down the Detroit River taking photographs of all the passing ships. In the ten years approximately that he devoted to this effort he amassed a collection of some three thou­ sand excellent 8" x 10" negatives of all the Great Lakes ships of the era immediately before and after World War II.

    úNICOS EN SU ESPECIE Javier YUSTE gONZÁLEZ Licenciado en Derecho UANDO la imaginación nos transporta hasta caudalosos ríos o nos permite reposar sobre la inmensidad de los grandes lagos de América del Norte, se pueden ver las altas copas de los árboles rasgar el cielo y las turbulen- tas aguas surcadas por canoas y kayaks, pero también por sus extraños y curiosos barcos provistos de palas. Molinos flotantes en movimiento. Fieles representantes de un tiempo pasado que se quedó estacionado, un poco más, en aquellas frías latitudes. Algunos llegaron a participar en la Segunda guerra Mundial. De necesidades imperiosas La misma naturaleza que nos ha dotado de ingenio, ofrece claros ejemplos de cómo varios individuos pueden acechar, atacar y vencer a otro mucho más grande y peligroso con un mínimo de coordinación, planificación, arrojo y, claro, suerte. Posiblemente nuestro primer gran éxito en esta táctica se materia- lizó cuando el hombre primitivo se organizó con otros miembros de su tribu y abatieron a un mamut para proveerse de carne; también para exterminar a otros depredadores con los que competía en una feroz lucha por la supervivencia. En la Historia de la guerra naval, por ejemplo, vemos cómo los navíos de línea sucumbían ante las ligeras y rápidas, pero mortales, fragatas. Incluso las pequeñas cañoneras, bien comandadas y provistas de dotaciones entrenadas, hacían verdaderos estragos. Mismo destino tuvieron los grandes buques acora- zados ante los zarpazos de gatos como los destructores y las lanchas, unidos al ingenio del torpedo y al posterior submarino. Ya el siglo XX vio alas metálicas para la guerra.

JOHNSTON 1892 1961 Last month, on the day that TELESCOPE went into the mails, the Institute, and this column, lost a dear friend. He was the first member of the Institute, for he founded the old Great Lakes Model Shipbuilder's Guild. He started TELESCOPE as a mimeographed monthly "newsletter", back in 1952. There is no point in trying to tally his contributions, for it can only lead back to the beginning, and he was the beginning. Because Captain Johnston was a dear friend to this column, it would be impossible to untangle sentiment from our think­ ing, and we won't even try. We loved him, and we respected him in much the same way we would a father. We looked upon him with reverence and awe. To most people he was “Cap", but we were among the very few to whom he was Joe. We can call to mind many impressions of this man; spinner of yarns, a teacher, an artist, and of course, a sailor. But most of all he was a gentleman and a gentle man. The accompanying picture says a great deal of what we think when we think of Joe. “Winky, the ship's cat", was a personality in his own right and well known to the old readers of TELESCOPE. That personality was but one facet, in reflection, of the "old man" himself. There are many more of these facets which reflect Joe for what he was, and for what his having been here has meant to us.

That elbow grease and TLC would come from DYC members Penny and Doug Breck, who both possess remarkable talent and skill. After seven months of work, Miss Pepsi is now ready to greet museum visitors and show off her graceful mahogany lines, twin Allison engines and the most beautiful finish on the lakes. This will be the last issue of Telescope typeset on the Compugraphic machine. Many members will remember back to May, 1978 when we switched from the Varityper to the Compu­ graphic. Because of the advances in computers, especially in the area of laser printers, the GLMI Board voted in February to purchase a desk-top publishing unit with the computer. In the past two years we’ve had a few problems with the Compugraphic machine (in one issue the letter “k” quit on the keyboard) and rather than spend over $1,000.00 for repairs, the Board voted to buy a computer. When the repairman came to look at the Compugraphic Execuwriter II for the last time, he informed us that the GLMI had the last model in the State of Michigan.

    MARITIME MUSEUM AND BRIG NIAGARA TOUR COMMODORE OLIVER HAZARD PERRY ON HIS WAY TO HISTORY AND THE FLAGSHIP NIAGARA Kathie Walter has been very active in trying to provide the association with opportunities for a memorable weekend. She is a member of the Flagship Niagara League so she was able to get us discounted fees to visit the Erie Maritime Museum. This is her latest offer for those interested in seeing the museum and Brig NIAGARA on the same visit: On Friday, June 1st, Alpha Association is being offered a guided tour that will include the Erie Maritime Museum and the Flagship Niagara. It will take place at noontime and last about two hours. The cost per person will be $7.00 per person, a bargain for those interested. We were very fortunate that the Flagship Niagara will be at the museum during the weekend of the reunion. Much of the time, it is out touring the Great Lakes serving as an ambassador of Pennsylvania. THE HISTORY OF THE USS NIAGARA FLAGSHIP NIAGARA ‘CROSSING THE T’ MANEUVER Everyone recalls from their grade school text books that Commodore Perry became famous for defeating the British during the Battle of Lake Erie coining the phrase, “We have met the enemy, and they are ours.” Perry commanded a group of nine American warships who engaged a fleet of six British frigates off the coast of Ohio. Perry’s fleet was led by the ships USS LAWRENCE,(named after Captain James Lawrence, who had his own famous iconic plea as he was dying, ‘DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP’), and the USS NIAGARA.

    A Centennial of Naval Aviation 100 Years of Progress and Achievement United States Navy United States Marine Corps United States Coast Guard A Curtiss “Hydroaeroplane” is pushed into the water in preparation for flight at North Island in January 1911. On the 26th of the same month this aircraft achieved a notable aviation “first” by being the first aircraft to operate from water. Note that the engine has a pusher propeller and the ailerons are independent of the wings. On 8 May 1911, Captain Washington Irving Chambers, United States Navy, officer in charge of aviation, prepared the requisition for the Navy’s first aircraft to be purchased from aviator and inventor Glenn H. Curtiss. After 98 years, Naval Aviation has grown from a tactical afterthought and support capability to a primary instrument of our national security. From the Curtiss A-1 Triad, to the F/A-18 Super Hornet, from the USS Langley (CV 1) to the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), Naval Aviation has scored an impressive list of achievements in peace and war. The first crossing of the At- lantic by air, victory at the Battle of Midway, and the first American in space, to name a few, have put Naval Aviation at the forefront of our national destiny. The Centennial of Naval Aviation kicks off January of 2011 and continues as a year-long celebration with a variety of events and commemorations through- out the year.
