    Florida Keys Sea Heritage Journal VOL. 24 NO. 1 FALL 2013 USS SHARK OFFICIAL QUARTERLY PUBLICATION OF THE KEY WEST MARITIME HISTORICAL SOCIETY Key West On the Edge By Robert Kerstein Over its history Key West has been many different things to many different people. Situated on a small island, only two miles wide and four miles long, and bounded by the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, it was once the largest city in Florida; at another time one of the wealthiest cities, per capita, in the United States; and at yet another time, one of the poorest. Blessed with its beautiful setting and tropical climate, Key West has, like many attractive tourist destinations, undergone a mighty struggle over its identify. Buffeted over the years by economic forces and national cultural changes, not to mention the occasional hurricane, Key West has long been one of America’s most unique and intriguing places. In 1983, it elected Richard Heyman, the first openly gay mayor in the United States. And in 1989, citizens chose Captain Tony Tarrachino as mayor, who, as described by the Washington Post, “had been a … gambler, gunrunner, saloonkeeper, fishing boat captain, ladies’ man and peerless raconteur.” Historian Charlton Tebeau concluded that during the decades (Continued on page 3) The cover of Key West On the Edge.

    $2 Florida Keys Sea Heritage Journal VOL. 20 NO. 2 WINTER 2009 USS SHARK OFFICIAL QUARTERLY PUBLICATION OF THE KEY WEST MARITIME HISTORICAL SOCIETY William Beverly Randolph Hackley I first read William Beverly Randolph Hackley’s diary about 25 years ago. Since then I have transcribed all of the Key West part of the diary, the only account of family life in Key West in the 1850s. During the research I have found information about him and his family and met a number of his descendants and found a photograph of one of his daughters Charlotte Hackley Spencer (Sea Heritage Journal, Spring 2009). Now thanks to Jane Jones we have this photograph of William Hackley. The diary was saved by Dr. R. L. “Lee” Goulding son of Harriet Hackley and Frank Ross Goulding, III. Harriet, one of William’s three daughters, was the 2nd wife of Frank. His first wife was her sister Sarah Hackley. To help understand the diary I have been gathering information about Hackley, his family and the people in his diary. William Beverly Randolph Hackley was born to Richard and Harriet Randolph Hackley on October 7, 1806 in Virginia. William Beverly Randolph Hackley. Photo credit: Jane Jones. Richard was a successful and well- traveled merchant, who resided at York. In 1806 he was appointed at that time. Richard had claims to various times in Fredericksburg, US Consul at St. Lucia, Spain, 12 million acres of uncultivated land Norfolk, Richmond, New York, and in 1807 he was appointed US near present day Tampa, Florida.

  • Florida Keys Mile-Marker Guide
    Road Trip: Florida Keys Mile-Marker Guide Overseas Highway, mile by mile: Plan your Florida Keys itinerary The Overseas Highway through the Florida Keys is the ultimate road trip: Spectacular views and things to do, places to go and places to hide, hidden harbors and funky tiki bars. There are hundreds of places to pull over to fish or kayak or enjoy a cocktail at sunset. There are dozens of colorful coral reefs to snorkel or dive. Fresh seafood is a Florida Keys staple, offered at roadside fish shacks and upscale eateries. For many, the destination is Key West, at the end of the road, but you’ll find the true character of the Florida Keys before you get there. This mile-marker guide will help you discover new things to see and do in the Florida Keys. It’s a great tool for planning your Florida Keys driving itinerary. Card Sound Road 127.5 — Florida City – Junction with Fla. Turnpike and U.S. 1. 126.5 — Card Sound Road (CR-905) goes east to the Card Sound Bridge and northern Key Largo. If you’re not in a hurry, take the toll road ($1 toll). Card Sound Road traverses a wild area that once had a small community of Card Sound. All that’s left now is Alabama Jack’s, a funky outdoor restaurant and tiki bar known for its conch fritters and the line of motorcycles it attracts. (Don’t be afraid; it’s a family oriented place and great fun.) If you take Card Sound Road, you’ll pass a little-known park, Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park, before coming to Key Largo itself.
