Explanation Words and figures enclosed in brackets [ ] are given for information, but do not appear on the title pages of the publications cataloged. When place and printer are not given, it is to be understood that the publication is printed at the United States Government Printing Office, Washington, D. 0.; if processed, publisher is issuing office. When size is not given, octavo is to be understood. Size of maps is approximate, measurement being made from outer edge of border, excluding margin. The dates, including day, month, and year, given with Senate and House documents and reports are the dates on which they were ordered to be printed. Usually the printing promptly follows the ordering, but various causes sometimes make delays. The word “processed” as used in this catalog indicates publications which are reproduced by duplicating processes other than ordinary printing, e. g., mimeo- graph, multigraph, pianograph, rotaprint, multilith. Processed publications are not obtainable from the Superintendent of Documents and requests for them, if they are available, should be addressed to the issuing office. Under provisions of the Printing Act of January 12, 1895. all Government publi- cations are entered in the Monthly Catalog. However, press releases and admin- istrative. regional, and confidential publications are omitted. The L. C. card number appended to some of the entries is for those libraries ordering printed cards from the Library of Congress. The number at the ex- treme right of an entry indicates the classification of the publication in the Office of the Superintendent of Documents.

  • TELESCOPE September 1961 Vol
    TELESCOPE September 1961 Vol. 10 N o . 9 published by the Great Lakes Maritime Institute 162 Telescope In Umonam Insvpll IE* Intynntnn JOSEPH E. 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.

    MAY ☆ JUNE 1991 Volume XXXIX; Number 3 GREAT LAKES MARITIME INSTITUTE DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan 48207 TELESCOPE Page 58 MEMBERSHIP NOTES • If the quality of Miss Pepsi's recent restoration was measured in elbow grease and TLC, our thirty-six foot, triple-step hydroplane would be listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the world’s most beautiful wood boat. 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. MEETING NOTICES • Mr. Wayne Garrett will speak on marine engines on Friday, May 17th at 8:00 p.m.

  • Maritime Museum and Brig Niagara Tour
    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.

  • Great Lakes Maritime Institute
    MARCH ☆ APRIL, 1991 VOLUME XXXIX: Number 2 i#*sr *£ GREAT LAKES MARITIME INSTITUTE \ DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan 48207 TELESCOPE Page 30 MEMBERSHIP NOTES • Institute member Paul Wiening has written Reflections: Stories of the Great Lakes. Most of our readers will recognize Paul’s contributions to marine publications around the lakes. This 144-page book contains several articles that have appeared in Telescope such as the C-4 Class, E.M. Ford, A. A. carferries and the Middletown, but Paul has updated these articles and printed more photos on these vessels. Skip Gillham contributed four chapters to make Reflections representative of all aspects of Great Lakes shipping. Besides the vessels mentioned above, other chapters include the Great Lakes Transit Corp., Georgian Bay, W.W. Holloway, Wheat King, Cliffs Victory, Trois­ doc and the Lake Michigan carferries. Reflections has 169 photos, making it worth the $19.95 price. This book can be purchased at the museum or by mail (please include $2.50 for postage). Remember that you are entitled to a ten percent discount on purchases over $10.00. The National Maritime Society has published a guidebook to American and Canadian Maritime Museums. This first edition contains short histories on museums from the small river towns to both coasts. The Great Lakes are well represented as the editors asked the museum curators to write their own descriptions. This book costs $10.00 and is available at the museum. Members traveling around the lakes will be surprised at the number of communities that are preserving their marine heritage.

  • A Centennial of Naval Aviation 100 Years of Progress and Achievement
    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. Airshows, art exhibits, flyovers and tactical demonstrations are but a few of the events being planned. The Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Highlights of this issue: Guard along with many other organiza- tions, are working together to ensure This is the first of a number of periodic news- that proper recognition is given for this letters that will be issued by Commander, Na- most important anniversary year.

    On 2/28/1945, Air Group 47 reported aboard, and USS Bataan left Ulithi 3/14/45 as part of TG 58.2 to operate off Kyushu: Two large carriers, two light carriers, two battleships, two cruisers, and seventeen destroyers. See this link for the names of the ships in TG 58.2: http://www.bataancvl29.org/Oct '44-Mar '451.htm On 3/19/45 two bombs hit the USS Franklin killing over 700 crew. It temporarily goes out of control and nearly collides with USS Bataan. Franklin survived to return under its own power to New York Harbor for repairs. USS Bataan CVL-29 was operating in Task Group 58.1 with the USS Franklin CV-13 (and others) about 60 miles off the southeast coast of Japan when USS Franklin was hit by two bombs. Iron Mike Mikronis (formerly of the USS Bataan) was LSO on the USS Franklin. He was knocked down by the force of the explosions, and two others with him suffered broken ankles, so they decided to jump overboard to avoid further injury. USS Franklin temporarily went out of control, and headed for USS Bataan, some 3,000 yards away. Bataan had to do some quick maneuvering to get out of the way. Later CVL-29 was detached from TG 58.1 to provide air cover for USS Franklin as she retreated back to Okinawa.

  • The SBD Dauntless Dive Bomber
    NOTAM NOTICE TO AIRMEN PEARL HARBOR AVIATION MUSEUM • FORD ISLAND, HI FALL 2019 | ISSUE #38 The SBD Dauntless Dive Bomber 2018 ANNUAL REPORT INCLUDED EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT National legislation passed in January of this year provides “for a program of the Department of Defense to commemorate the 75th anniversary of World War II… In conducting the commemorative program, the Secretary shall support and facilitate other programs and activities of the Federal Government, State and local governments, and not-for-profit organizations in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of World War II.” Programs around the nation and the world throughout 2020 will mark battles and events that brought us closer to peace during that final year of struggle. As an organization, we are excited to play a significant role in planning the “bookend events” alongside the Battleship Missouri Memorial Association and several mainland organizations. The first of these major events will take place in Washington DC, May 7 – 10, coordinated under the banner of the Arsenal of Democracy. Education events, museum dedications, veteran tributes, an official banquet and a spectacular aerial parade of 100 WWII Warbird aircraft flying over the Washington, D.C. mall on May 8, 2020 are planned to mark the end of war in Europe. The culminating events will take place a few months later in Hawaii from August 29 - September 2, 2020, commemorating the end of war with Japan and the signing of the instrument of surrender that took place on 2 September 1945 on the deck of the USS Missouri moored in Tokyo Bay. Formalization of a State of Hawaii planning committee to oversee this effort is underway.
