  • U. S. Coast Guard Oral History. Capt. Lloyd Burger Interview
    John A. Adams ’71 Center for Military History and Strategic Analysis. Cold War Oral History Project Interview with Captain Lloyd Burger USCG (Ret.) by Cadet Anthony T. Bradley, April 7, 2006 ©Adams Center, Virginia Military Institute About the interviewer: Cadet Anthony T. Bradley ('07), International Studies Major, History Minor from Queens, NY, will be commissioning in the U.S. Navy, pursuing a career in naval aviation. Bradley: Good day, sir. Today, 7 April 2006, I, Cadet Anthony T. Bradley of the Virginia Military Institute, will be interviewing Captain Lloyd Burger of the United States Coast Guard for the John A. Adams Class of 1971 Center for Military History and Strategic Analysis as part of the requirements for History 391— History of Sea Power in the 20th Century. The captain now lives in Raphine, Virginia and is enjoying his retirement from military service with his family. Thank you for being here sir. Burger: Thank you for inviting me. Bradley: First I would like to give a brief overview of the United States Coast Guard because many people are not aware of its rich history and important mission. Established 4 August 1790, the United States Coast Guard is one of the United States’ five armed services. The first Congress authorized the construction of 10 vessels to enforce tariff and trade laws, prevent smuggling and protect the collection of the federal revenue. Known variously as the Revenue Marines and the Revenue Cutter Service, it expanded in size and responsibilities as the nation grew. These added responsibilities which included humanitarian duties such as aiding mariners in distress and law enforcement functions also continued to expand.

  • Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

  • Maritime 20 RISK OCT
    Maritime 20 RISK OCT. 26-30,2020 OCT. UIUC Symposium 20 Welcome to the Maritime Risk Symposium 2020 The Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute (CIRI), a Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence, is host of the 11th Annual Maritime Risk Symposium (MRS 2020) in collaboration with the National Academy of Sciences. The theme of MRS 2020 is “Maritime Resilience in Black Swan Events.” DHS defines resilient infrastructure systems as the “ability of systems, infrastructures, government, business, communities, and individuals to resist, tolerate, absorb, recover from, prepare for, or adapt to an adverse occurrence that causes harm, destruction, or loss of national significance.” Through presentations, panels and open forums, the symposium will focus on the attributes of resilience to adversarial events of national significance in the maritime domain, using our experience with COVID-19 as a driver for the discussion. The objective is less about the specific impacts COVID-19 had and is having, and more on how that event informs us on resiliency for future global upsets, in terms of what works, what gaps have been exposed, and what research questions ought to be studied as a first step towards enhancing Maritime Resilience. Agenda 26 All times are in Central Time. Time Event Speakers 9:45AM Day 1 Introduction David Nicol Monday th 10:00AM Keynote* Dr. Stephen Flynn 11:00AM–12:30PM Panel** Resilience in Maritime Infrastructure Moderator/Chair: Captain Todd Bonnar 1:30–3:00PM Panel** Maritime Resilience and the Human Element Moderator/Chair:
