SHAW, Clerk of the District of Massachusetts. ADWERTISEMENT. IN preparing the following pages for the press, great pains have been taken to present to the public a more correct list of the American Navy than has ever been published. Such a list it is believed is now completed; and the com piler is much indebted to the politeness of sev eral gentlemen of the Navy, for corrections which could not have been otherwise obtained. The latest Steel's List to be procured, is so far republished, as to convey all the information respecting the British Navy, which possesses * any interest for the general news reader. It is intended to publish, every three months, a corrected edition of these Lists, if the sale of the present promises encouragement to the un dertaking. - The deep and general interest which has been excited in the publick mind by the valorous achievements of our Naval heroes, induces a belief, that the permanent establishment of a complete List of the American Navy must re ceive adequate patronage.

  • Early Days in the Navy

    Early Days in the Navy

    Photograph of William Taylor Skiddy (c. 1795-1870), midshipman on the U.S. Hornet in 1815, in after years. Early Days in the Navy During these at present, as I write this, excoriating months of summer, I am taking a break from my more usual studies to brush up on my immediate familiarity with the history of the post-Revolutionary War United States Navy. Among the volumes I’ve thus far, or else mostly, finished are Stephen W.H. Duffy’s Captain Blakeley and the Wasp: The Cruise of 1814, and A Gentlemanly and Honorable Profession: The Creation of the U.S. Naval Officer Corps, 1794-1815 by Christopher McKee -- both veritable classics of their kind. Duffy’s biography of Master Commandant Johnston Blakeley is singularly splendid. Here’s some first-rate research and accompanied by descriptions of naval actions that could hold their own in drama and excitement with some of the masters of nautical fiction; by an author who knows the technical niceties of sea faring and survival in an early 19th century sailing ship breasting the ocean in time of war. As well, the book ends up being surprisingly moving: Blakeley, having lost his entire (immediate) family at a young age, makes his way up the ladder in the nascent U.S. navy, encountering daunting and trying challenges along the way; finds time to get married; finally sets sail after a protracted and tedious fitting out of his new vessel and command; wins two incredible and stunning battles; only to shortly after be mysteriously lost at sea with his victorious ship and men.1 While Duffy’s facts and data could be shored up at points and be profitably served by further analysis, exploration and development of what he presents (including perhaps philosophical-artistic development), this shortcoming can be pardoned given what a magnificent job he’s done gathering up the requisite materials.

    “Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt. Roy and Helen Hall, The History of Collin County by Stambaugh & Stambaugh, The Brown Papers by George Pearis Brown, The Peters Colony of Texas by Seymour V. Conner, Collin County census & tax records and verbal history from local long-time residents of the county. She does not document all of her sources.

    Japan Has Always Held an Important Place in Modern World Affairs, Switching Sides From

    Japan has always held an important place in modern world affairs, switching sides from WWI to WWII and always being at the forefront of technology. Yet, Japan never came up as much as China, Mongolia, and other East Asian kingdoms as we studied history at school. Why was that? Delving into Japanese history we found the reason; much of Japan’s history was comprised of sakoku, a barrier between it and the Western world, which wrote most of its history. How did this barrier break and Japan leap to power? This was the question we set out on an expedition to answer. With preliminary knowledge on Matthew Perry, we began research on sakoku’s history. We worked towards a middle; researching sakoku’s implementation, the West’s attempt to break it, and the impacts of Japan’s globalization. These three topics converged at the pivotal moment when Commodore Perry arrived in Japan and opened two of its ports through the Convention of Kanagawa. To further our knowledge on Perry’s arrival and the fall of the Tokugawa in particular, we borrowed several books from our local library and reached out to several professors. Rhoda Blumberg’s Commodore Perry in the Land of the Shogun presented rich detail ​ ​ into Perry’s arrival in Japan, while Professor Emi Foulk Bushelle of WWU answered several of our queries and gave us a valuable document with letters written by two Japanese officials. Professor John W. Dower’s website on MIT Visualizing Cultures offered analysis of several primary sources, including images and illustrations that represented the US and Japan’s perceptions of each other.

    NORTH CAROLINA Books Dorothy Hodder, Compiler andwiched between the American Revolution and the Civil War, the War of 1812 seldom merits our attention. Except for the burning of Washington and Jackson’s after-the-fact victory at S New Orleans, few people know or remember much about it. To be honest, American military forces were not very successful during the conflict save for the warships of the tiny U. S. Navy. In single- ship battles during the war, the Americans beat the British, the world’s greatest naval power, in six of seven encounters. The U.S.S. Wasp, a sloop-of-war under the command of North Carolinian Johnston Blakeley, won one of the most famous of those Stephen W. H. Duffy. victories. Born in Ireland in 1781, Blakeley and his family Captain Blakeley and the Wasp: immigrated to Wilmington when he was two and he spent his formative years in North Carolina, including time at The Cruise of 1814. the University at Chapel Hill from 1796–1799. In 1800, he Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 2001. secured an appointment as a naval midshipman and 348 pp. $34.95. ISBN 1-55750-176-9. subsequently was posted to various warships fighting the Barbary pirates along the North African coast. From1804– 1812, his career slowly progressed as he served on several different Navy ships and finally was promoted to his first independent command. Congress declared war on England on June 18, 1812, and Blakeley was given command of the Wasp the follow- ing month. The Wasp was launched in 1813 and in 1814 Blakeley and his crew received their sailing orders — to proceed to the English coast, harass and capture British merchantmen, and engage and destroy Royal Navy ships as the opportunity presented itself.
