  • The Story Behind the 30 Lb. Parrott Rifle on the Public Landing in The
    The Story Behind the 30 Lb. Parrott Rifle on the Public Landing In the year 2000 David Conzett, Curator of CMC History Object Collections, learned that the Pleasant Ridge Presbyterian Church was interested in removing the Civil War Parrott gun from its adjacent cemetery. The naval gun had been donated to the village of Pleasant Ridge by Mr. T. W. Seib (d. 1909), a Civil War veteran of the 6th OVI Regiment and resident of the village. Following a meeting with the Presbyterian Church Session, it was decided that the Parrott gun would be donated to the Museum Center and become part of our Civil War exhibit. The initial challenge with the donation was safely removing the cannon from the church cemetery. Because of the cannon’s location in the cemetery, and the danger of crushing graves with heavy equipment, the first two rigging and moving companies that were approached wanted nothing to do with the project. Fenton Rigging Company, a long time Museum Center supporter, accepted the challenge of moving the gun, but insisted that the work could only be done on a cold winter day when the cemetery ground was frozen. On a very cold morning, they removed the gun from its ancient concrete pedestal and, using a portable gantry, lifted the 3,500 lb. Parrott onto a small cart and towed it out of the cemetery with a garden tractor. It arrived at the museum later that morning. All of the work associated with the transfer of the gun to the museum was performed by the Fenton Rigging Co.

One element scrutinizes the efforts of Commandant Archibald Henderson to transform the Corps into a more nimble and professional organization. Henderson's initiatives are placed within the framework of the several fundamental changes that the U.S. Navy was undergoing as it worked to experiment with, acquire, and incorporate new naval technologies into its own operational concept.

  • Schurken Im Batman-Universum Dieser Artikel Beschäftigt Sich Mit Den Gegenspielern Der Comic­Figur „Batman“
    Schurken im Batman-Universum Dieser Artikel beschäftigt sich mit den Gegenspielern der Comic-Figur ¹Batmanª. Die einzelnen Figuren werden in alphabetischer Reihenfolge vorgestellt. Dieser Artikel konzentriert sich dabei auf die weniger bekannten Charaktere. Die bekannteren Batman-Antagonisten wie z.B. der Joker oder der Riddler, die als Ikonen der Popkultur Verankerung im kollektiven Gedächtnis gefunden haben, werden in jeweils eigenen Artikeln vorgestellt; in diesem Sammelartikel werden sie nur namentlich gelistet, und durch Links wird auf die jeweiligen Einzelartikel verwiesen. 1 Gegner Batmans im Laufe der Jahrzehnte Die Gesamtheit der (wiederkehrenden) Gegenspieler eines Comic-Helden wird im Fachjargon auch als sogenannte ¹Schurken-Galerieª bezeichnet. Batmans Schurkengalerie gilt gemeinhin als die bekannteste Riege von Antagonisten, die das Medium Comic dem Protagonisten einer Reihe entgegengestellt hat. Auffällig ist dabei zunächst die Vielgestaltigkeit von Batmans Gegenspielern. Unter diesen finden sich die berüchtigten ¹geisteskranken Kriminellenª einerseits, die in erster Linie mit der Figur assoziiert werden, darüber hinaus aber auch zahlreiche ¹konventionelleª Widersacher, die sehr realistisch und daher durchaus glaubhaft sind, wie etwa Straûenschläger, Jugendbanden, Drogenschieber oder Mafiosi. Abseits davon gibt es auch eine Reihe äuûerst unwahrscheinlicher Figuren, wie auûerirdische Welteroberer oder extradimensionale Zauberwesen, die mithin aber selten geworden sind. In den frühesten Batman-Geschichten der 1930er und 1940er Jahre bekam es der Held häufig mit verrückten Wissenschaftlern und Gangstern zu tun, die in ihrem Auftreten und Handeln den Flair der Mobster der Prohibitionszeit atmeten. Frühe wiederkehrende Gegenspieler waren Doctor Death, Professor Hugo Strange und der vampiristische Monk. Die Schurken der 1940er Jahre bilden den harten Kern von Batmans Schurkengalerie: die Figuren dieser Zeit waren vor allem durch die Abenteuer von Dick Tracy inspiriert, der es mit grotesk entstellten Bösewichten zu tun hatte.

  • Harriet Lane Steve Schulze Camp Commander
    SONS OF UNION VETERANS OF THE CIVIL WAR Lt. Commander Edward Lea U.S.N. – Camp Number 2 Harriet Lane *************************************************************************************** Summer 2007 Volume 14 Number 2 ************************************************************************************** From the Commander’s Tent Here we go again. Its summer with all the bustle and activity associated with the season. School is out, everyone’s looking forward to their vacations and the pace of life in some ways is even more frantic than during the other seasons of the year. The Camp just completed one of its most important evolutions - Memorial Day. We had nine Brothers at the National Cemetery, with eight in period uniform. I think this is the best uniformed turnout we’ve ever had, at least in my memory. We are also in the process of forming a unit of the Sons of Veteran’s Reserve. We have ten prospective members from our Camp. Brother Dave LaBrot is the prospective commanding officer. All we are waiting for is for the James J. Byrne Camp #1 to send down their seven applications so the paperwork can be turned in. We should then soon have the unit up and running. I hope that even more Brothers will join as we get rolling. I have been watching with great interest the way the level of awareness of and the desire to learn about the Civil War in particular, and the 1860’s in general, has been growing throughout the nation during the last few years. In part this may be because we are coming up upon another milestone period (the 150th anniversary). But also I think more people are realizing the importance of the events of that era and the extent that we are still being affected by them today.

  • Field Guide for Civil War Explosive Ordnance
    U. S. NAVAL SCHOOL, EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL A FIELD GUIDE FOR CIVIL WAR EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE By JOHN D. BARTLESON JR. MNCS USN U. S. NAVAL ORDNANCE STATION Indian Head, Maryland FOREWORD During the period of the American Civil War, 1861 to 1865, an estimated 10,000,000 pro- jectiles of all shapes, sizes, and types were fired by the Union and Confederate armies. This can be an alarming figure if one considers the high "dud" rate brought about by imperfections in fuzing. Fortunately, from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) standpoint, the bulk of these unexploded projectiles remain at the major engagement sites such as Gettysburg, Petersburg, Antietam, and the like, and go unmolested by the unwary. However, the National and State Parks control only a small area at each of the battlefield locations found throughout the Eastern United States. Moreover, some of the fringe areas of battle and even some of the bloody areas of conflict and skirmishes are today scenes of rolling countryside populated by farms, modern housing developments, and construction sites. Also countless numbers of these potential haz- ards were placed in hidden caches intended for later use and then forgotten. Unrecorded amounts were abandoned and lost during the heat of battle or forced retreat. Today, some one hundred and eleven years later, these remnants of artillery's history pro- vide an additional responsibility for the EOD team. Annually during the spring planting, these relics are surfaced by the plow. Many of them find a place of esteem by their owners and are used as driveway markers, mantlepiece conversation items, and door stops.

  • Kiwai Grammar
    LA TROBE UNIVERSITY THE BORChARDT LIBRARY A Grammar of the Kiwai Language, Fly Delta, Papua By SIDNEY H. RAY, M.A., F.R.A.I. with a Kiwai Vocabulary By the late Rev. E. BAXTER RILEY (London Missionary Society) ep Port Moresby, Papua: EDWARD GEORGE BAKER, Government Printer. M^A -? Q?^-y LA TR09E UNIVERSITY THE hOrCr-.^DT LIBRARY GPGC PREFACE. 0 1893 and 1897 Dr. Haddon and I published an account of all that was then known of the languages spoken by the people of the Torres Straits Islands and the adjacent mainland of New Guinea known to the islanders as Daudai. The language de­ scribed as Daudai was substantially the language abo of the island of Kiwai in the Fly Delta. With this work as a foundation, during my stay with the late Eev. James Chalmers at Saguane on Kiwai Island in 1898, I made a short but intensive study of the structure of the language which was printed in the Reports of the Cambridge Anthropological Expedition in 1907. Chalmers was much interested in my work, for he regarded it as the first stage in the fulfilment of his daily prayer that the people of the Fly River might read the Gospel in their own tongue. After the death of Chalmers there was very little opportunity for studying the language and it was not until the Rev. E. Baxter Riley was appointed to the Fly River in 1902, and had begun to learn the language that work was resumed. Mr. Riley published a small school book in 1907, and my Grammar appeared in the same year in the Cambridge Report.

  • Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ScholarShip Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction: Logistical Nightmare By Adam C. Edmonds May, 2011 Director of Thesis: Lawrence E. Babits, Ph.D. History Department The Confederate States Navy built wooden gunboats throughout the American Civil War. Within Civil War literature, more research and detailed analysis of Confederate States Navy construction focuses on building of ironclad vessels. Wooden gunboat construction is largely ignored. This thesis examines wooden gunboat construction in two different areas of the Confederacy: northeastern North Carolina in Washington and Elizabeth City, and the Mars Bluff Navy Yard in South Carolina. Before presenting two Confederate wooden gunboat construction case studies, a look at Confederate industrial, manufacturing, and transportation infrastructure, from the national perspective, brings into focus the logistical limitations station commanders faced in northeastern North Carolina and at Mars Bluff more clearly. Scattered, yet interdependent, marine manufacturing and ordnance facilities, connected by a suspect transportation network, created a logistical nightmare. Historical investigation into wooden gunboat construction in Washington, Elizabeth City, and Mars Bluff, examines an overlooked Confederate States Navy building program.

  • John Dahlgren the Plymouth Rifle
    JOHN DAHLGREN And THE PLYMOUTH RIFLE Marc Gorelick, VGCA The author thanks Tim Prince of College Hill Arsenal (www.collegehillarsenal.com) and Cliff Sophia of CS Arms (www.csarms.com) for the use of their photographs. Few Americans today know who John Dahlgren was, or the role he played in the Civil War. Most Civil War and navy history buffs who recognize his name identify him as a Union Admiral and ordnance expert who developed a number of naval cannon. Indeed, for his achievements in developing naval cannon he became known as the “father of American naval ordnance.” But to the gun collecting community Dahlgren was also a small arms expert and the inventor of the unique Plymouth Rifle. Photo courtesy Tim Prince, College Hill Arsenal, www.collegehillarsenal.com DAHLGREN’S NAVY CAREER John Adolphus Bernard Dahlgren was born on November 13, 1809 in Philadelphia, the son of Bernhard Ulrik Dahlgren, the Swedish Consul in Philadelphia. Like another Swedish-American, John Ericsson, the inventor of the screw propeller, turret and ironclad monitor, Dahlgren was to have a profound effect on the U.S. Navy. Dahlgren joined the United States Navy in 1826 as a midshipman. He served in the U.S. Coastal Survey from 1834 to 1837 where he developed his talents for mathematics and scientific theory. He was promoted to lieutenant, and after a number of cruises was assigned as an ordnance officer at the Washington Navy Yard in 1847. Dahlgren was in his element as an ordnance officer. He excelled as a brilliant engineer and was soon given more and more responsibility.
