Kennedywhen President Lyndon Johnson allowed it to go on a traveling exhibition with artifacts of the Kennedy Presidential Library. It was then put on display in the Smithsonian Institution. President Jimmy Carter brought the desk back to the Oval Office inwhere it has remained with every president since, except George H. The original design plan and elevation for the "President's Desk" were created on September 9, The National Maritime Museum's September 9,design plans are drawings for two different gifts proposed by the Admiralty but never executed, a " Secretaire " and a "Library Table". The library table and the President's secretaire were never implemented and these proposed gifts were replaced with William Evenden's Resolute desk. The Evenden desk delivered to President Hayes does not accord with the plan held at Greenwich except for the order that it "be made from the timbers of the late Arctic Ship Resolute ". The design plan for the desk provided for ornate The Presidents Desk: An Alt-History of the United States to be incorporated into the proposed Library Table were tabulated on the September 9,Design Plans under the caption "References" as follows:. If one Front only is required, then three panels containing Arctic subjects is proposed. The door panels to contain Busts of H. Ten Bust Brackets of such Arctic Explorers as may be selected with names engraved on plates fixed on scrolls under. Beneath the half page image is a related article, which describes the desk inaccurately:. The design for the secretaire is the work of a working-joiner employed at the dockyard at Chatham. England, where the Resolute was broken up. The top is covered with morocco, bordered and embossed. The front panels contained carved medallion portraits of Her Majesty and the President of the United States; the side panels, Arctic subjects, also in relief; and the space at The Presidents Desk: An Alt-History of the United States back of the table, corresponding with the front panels, is furnished with a set of six drawers on either side, the handles of which are formed by two hands — male and female — grasping each other, symbolic of the goodwill existing between the heads of the The Presidents Desk: An Alt-History of the United States countries. The top cornices of the eight corner pedestals were appropriated to carved representations of the Arctic and Antarctic circles and the American and English flags crossed, while busts of celebrated arctic explorers support the cornices. The image and the written description in the newspaper article are not of the Evenden President's Desk delivered on November 23,but depicts the desk in the Admiralty's September 9,design plan for the library table. A plate on the front of the desk presented to President Hayes bears the following inscription: [4]. Plaques with similar messages were fitted onto each desk made, the Resolute desk in the White HouseQueen Victoria's writing table, and the Grinnell desk. The desk has been modified twice. President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered a hinged front panel for the knee hole opening in order to hide his leg braces. The second modification was done to raise the desk by adding a separate, uniform base called a plinth. The first time a base was made for the Resolute desk was during the John F. Kennedy Administration. It was made of pine and did not match the desk well. It is very visible in a photo of John F. Kennedy Jr. Photos from January—February show the Resolute desk being used with a base, but the base had been removed by late May of that year, when it was photographed without it. White House record photos from early in Ronald Reagan's presidency, one as late as October 23,show the desk being used without a base. President Reagan requested that the desk be raised higher since he was hitting his legs on the top of the knee hole. The White House's earliest image of the desk with a base during the Reagan Administration is dated August 13, A new, better-fitting base was built for the desk inand has remained with the desk since that time. After finding and The Presidents Desk: An Alt-History of the United States McClure The Presidents Desk: An Alt-History of the United States the crew of InvestigatorResolute and Intrepid sailed east, but had to winter in the pack ice, gradually moving East all winter. Belcher's two ships moved south in the Wellington Channel before being frozen in again near Disaster Bay. In the spring of Belcher ordered the abandonment of four of his five ships, and the The Presidents Desk: An Alt-History of the United States gathered at Beechey Island. By the time they were ready to leave, both Assistance and Pioneer had broken free and had traveled 45 miles South in the Wellington Channel until they were only a few miles from Beechey Island. This made no difference to Belcher who was simply desperate to go home. Since he had made his two ships "hells afloat" as he always did, his men were also desperate to leave. The Presidents Desk: An Alt-History of the United States, Kellett only abandoned Resolute and Intrepid under protest. As a matter of course in the Royal Navy, all captains who lost ships were tried by courts-martialso Belcher was tried for abandoning the four seaworthy vessels, as were Resolute' s captain, Henry Kellett; Intrepid 's commander, Francis Leopold McClintock ; and Pioneer 's commander, Sherard Osborn. All were acquitted. Belcher, however, never received another commission and was scorned by the officers of his court-martial when they returned his sword to him in complete silence. Resolute continued to move slowly eastward in the pack ice, and one year later in the autumn of she was miles away from the place where she had been abandoned. He split his crew and sailed her back to New London, arriving home on Christmas Eve. Buddington's ship, George Henry, had preceded Resoluteand many were beginning to wonder if Buddington was still alive. The British government waived all claims to the ship upon learning of its arrival in New London. At the time of the salvage inBritain The Presidents Desk: An Alt-History of the United States America had several areas of active dispute: Britain's territorial claims in Belizewhich the United States claimed violated the Clayton—Bulwer Treaty [6] and disputes over fishing rights and the border between British Columbia and Washington Territory. After Resolute was towed to Cowes so that the Queen and Prince Albert could tour her, Captain Harstene presented the ship to Queen Victoria as a gesture of peace and good-will on December 17, Soon the talk of imminent war ceased, and the gift of Resolute was seen as instrumental in the easing of these tensions. Henry Grinnella New York merchant with an interest in the fate of Franklin's lost expeditionhad supported the gifting of Resoluteand along with Lady Franklin had hoped the British would use the ship for a new search for those lost. However, by the Royal Navy doubted that any of Franklin's men could still be alive eleven years after they entered the Arctic, and declined to support a new search. Nor was the Navy willing to let Lady Franklin use Resolute for a privately funded search. Britain could not risk losing Resolute after the important role the ship had played in smoothing the relationship between her and America. Resolute stayed in home waters until she was taken to the breaker's dock at Chatham Dockyard in President John F. Kennedy first placed the Resolute desk in the Oval Office in Some presidents, such as George H. Bushhave used the desk in their private study rather than in the Oval Office. When president Lyndon B. Johnson took office inhe found he was too large for the desk, and instead commissioned a plainer replacement which was built for him by the Senate cabinet shop. Gerald Fordwho succeeded to the presidency in following the resignation of Nixon, used the Wilson desk throughout his term. Bill Clinton subsequently brought the Resolute desk back again to the Oval Office, where it has remained since. After Resolute was broken up, Queen Victoria asked for several desks to be built from her timbers. Four desks were designed and made by William Evenden. A large partners desk was presented to President Rutherford B. Hayes on November 23,while a smaller lady's desk was presented to the widow of Henry Grinnell ; this desk is now in the New Bedford Whaling Museum. Finally, the Queen had two desks made for herself: one is a small writing table cataloged online with a photograph showing its plaque. The National Museum of the Royal Navy lent the item for a short exhibition; however, the table was returned to the Royal Collection after the loan period ended in Caroline Kennedy and Kerry Kennedy beneath the desk in Exact replicas of the Resolute desk are on display in at least six presidential libraries. The desk at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library was recreated by Robert Whitley. The desk at the William J. A video clip of the desk in production can be viewed at the company's web page.

  • White House Oval Office Scavenger Hunt for All Ages
    White House Oval Office Scavenger Hunt for all ages Facts about the Oval Office: This is a full-scale replica of The White House Oval Office. The West Wing where it is located was built in 1902 during President Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency. The first Oval Office was built in 1909 during the presidency of William Howard Taft. Painted green, it included a skylight that was later removed. The West Wing burned in 1929; only the fireplace mantel survives from that earlier era. To improve private access and light, President Franklin Roosevelt moved the room to its current location in 1934 and added the three French doors leading to the Rose Garden. The room’s architecture has changed little since except for the flooring. Presidents decorate the office to suit their own personal tastes and needs. Neither President Eisenhower nor Carter changed the room as furnished by their predecessors. President Obama added a striped wallpaper in 2010. A portrait of George Washington is always present in the Oval Office. The painting over the mantel here is a reproduction of an original by Rembrandt Peale done in 1853. The Presidential desk is a reproduction of “The Resolute Desk”, a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880. The plaque on the face of the desk tells its story. It first appeared in the Oval Office of President John F. Kennedy. While many have used the desk in their private study, it was also in the Oval Office of Presidents Carter, Reagan, Clinton, George W. Bush and the current President, Barack Obama.

  • Will Joe Biden Choose the Chatham-Built Resolute Desk?
    Press release 14 January 2021 Will Joe Biden choose the Chatham-built Resolute Desk? The Historic Dockyard Chatham will be watching keenly as new US President, Joe Biden, takes up residency in The White House for a very historic reason – will he choose the Resolute Desk? The President’s desk in the Oval Office is at the centre of every presidency. Each President has 6 desks from which to make his choice, with the oak Resolute Desk being used by all but three Presidents. HMS Resolute HMS Resolute was part of a four-ship squadron under Edward Belcher sent in the early 1850s to search for famed English explorer Sir John Franklin, who was searching for the Northwest Passage to Asia. The Resolute and one of her sister ships became lodged in the Arctic ice, and after two full seasons, remained stuck. Following the second summer, the commander of the expedition instructed the crews of the two ships to board the two ships that lay outside the ice and sail back to England. After their return, Belcher was court-martialed for abandoning a seaworthy vessel, as the Resolute broke loose of the ice the subsequent summer and was found by an American fishing vessel captained by James Buddington. The Resolute was towed into port, purchased by the United States Congress for $40,000 and refitted. She was presented to Queen Victoria on December 17, 1856 as a token of peace and marked the start of the special relationship between UK and USA. The Resolute served in the Royal Navy for 23 years following its return but never left home waters.

  • Furnishings of the White House
    Classroom Resource Packet Furnishings of the White House INTRODUCTION The historic furnishings in the White House provide a glimpse into the ways that first families have lived and worked for over 200 years. These desks, chairs, and other items allow the Executive Mansion to serve as both the home and the office of the president. Each piece of furniture has a history of its own. While furniture has come and gone from the Executive Mansion, pieces remaining in the collection today often reflect important moments in American history and the presidency. Learn about a few of furnishings in the White House and their respective histories. CONTEXTUAL ESSAY When the British burned the White House in 1814, nearly all of its earliest contents were destroyed. James Monroe moved into the rebuilt White House in 1817 and brought new furnishings that would form the basis of a later historic collection. Monroe’s goal was to provide furniture that would endow the Executive Mansion with status and prestige. He ordered a 53- piece suite of furniture from Paris made by Pierre-Antoine Image 1 Bellangé for the Oval Room, now the Blue Room (Image 1). This gilded furniture was sold and replaced in 1860, but some of the original pieces would return to the room in the 1960s and 1970s and remain in service today (Image 2). Many of the furnishings in the White House collection reflect specific events or moments in American history. In 1927, Eleanor Roosevelt founded the Val-Kill Furniture Shop to increase employment near her home along the Hudson River in New York.

  • Beyond Paris
    Beyond Paris Jacqueline Kennedy and the Presidency A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Copyright by Allen George Priest 2014 History M.A. Graduate Program January 2015 Abstract Beyond Paris: Jacqueline Kennedy and the Presidency Allen George Priest A presidential spouse in an era of rigid gender norms, Jacqueline Kennedy frequently straddled the divide between celebrity, social acceptability, and personal desire. Yet, history remembers America’s thirty-seventh First Lady more for her fashion and soft- spoken nature. Forgotten is that she was a ‘transitional’ figure, who oversaw America’s largest restoration of the White House and served as a ‘goodwill ambassador’ for her husband. When three gunshots brought their tenure to an abrupt end, Jackie’s focus shifted and she fixated on the creation of a legacy that immortalized JFK. ‘Camelot,’ is a construct almost exclusively conceived and executed by the former First Lady. In this vein, the coming exploration delves into the private actions of Jackie during her time in as First Lady, contrasting them sharply with her public image. What emerges is a portrait the world seldom saw: one driven by raw intellect and a desire to be of service to her husband and country. Keywords: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, First Lady, President, United States, White House, Charles de Gaulle, Nikita Khrushchev, Jawalharal Nehru, Restoration, Assassination, Image, Memory, Legacy, Camelot. ii Acknowledgements This project began in the winter of 2011, as a term paper for a course taught by the phenomenal Dr.
