The official meeting will start at 7 PM. I was able to have Lin join me for a test via telephone – no video – but it works, and she is looking forward to joining us at our March meeting. For our March meeting, Bill Kammermeyer offered to do a presentation for us on the various kinds of wood, and I believe it should be an interesting subject as over the years I have learned that there are many types of wood, but I am not sure which ones are good for the various projects. I would like to thank everyone who is stepping up to help with presentations and articles for the newsletter, and without your assistance, I would not be able to do it. So, thank you everyone, still looking for volunteers to do a presentation for the balance of this year.

Presentations Meeting Segment: This month’s presentation by Commodore Jane was a biography of James B. Eads, a famous St. Louis Engineer, who accomplished many things in his lifetime, including designing a snag boat for retrieving cargo from sunken river boats which made him a rich man; building iron clad civil war river-gun boats, which helped make the Mississippi river controlled by the Union and split the Confederacy in two. He also built the first bridge across the Mississippi river and invented the caissons to allow workers to operate down to bedrock without operating under water. The presentation was one of the livelier ones as several people were able to embellish certain parts with more information. For instance, Bob Keeler pointed out that the ironclad gunboats Barron DeKalb and St. Louis were one and the same. The gunboats were originally part of the Army, but when the Navy finally accepted them, it already had a boat named St. Louis, so the name was changed to Baron DeKalb, a general in the American Revolution. Fr. Tom pointed out that the reason the Ead’s bridge went bankrupt was that the Wiggins boat company had the sole monopoly for crossing the Mississippi river in the St. Louis area. The question came up about the use of Masonic signs which adorned the riverboats, including the gunboats. Again, Fr. Tom informed us that the Masons controlled all the riverboats and warehouses along the riverfront and boat captains needed to belong to the Masons. Fr. Tom also mentioned that the Wiggins boat company morphed into present day Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis (TRRA) railroad. A.

    USS CONSTELLATION Page 4 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form

    NPS Form 10-900 USDI/NPS NRHP Registration Form (Rev. 8-86) OMB No. 1024-0018 USS CONSTELLATION Page 4 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form Summary The USS Constellation’s career in naval service spanned one hundred years: from commissioning on July 28, 1855 at Norfolk Navy Yard, Virginia to final decommissioning on February 4, 1955 at Boston, Massachusetts. (She was moved to Baltimore, Maryland in the summer of 1955.) During that century this sailing sloop-of-war, sometimes termed a “corvette,” was nationally significant for its ante-bellum service, particularly for its role in the effort to end the foreign slave trade. It is also nationally significant as a major resource in the mid-19th century United States Navy representing a technological turning point in the history of U.S. naval architecture. In addition, the USS Constellation is significant for its Civil War activities, its late 19th century missions, and for its unique contribution to international relations both at the close of the 19th century and during World War II. At one time it was believed that Constellation was a 1797 ship contemporary to the frigate Constitution moored in Boston. This led to a long-standing controversy over the actual identity of the Constellation. Maritime scholars long ago reached consensus that the vessel currently moored in Baltimore is the 1850s U.S. navy sloop-of-war, not the earlier 1797 frigate. Describe Present and Historic Physical Appearance. The USS Constellation, now preserved at Baltimore, Maryland, was built at the navy yard at Norfolk, Virginia.

The former tells me he has been obliged to exchange the beautiful Hanover for the ugly Dortmund, nevertheless in the former place, or rather in Leinhausen, he was but second in command, in Dortmund he is chief of the Royal Locomotive Department. Limpricht’s letter as usual contains much news of interest. He tells me that he is agent for von Soden, at present Governor of Kamerun on the West Coast of Africa, for whom he has many purchases to make, upon which he charges a small commission. Von Soden, it will be remembered, was German Minister in Perú, and rented some apartments in our house at the time Limpricht also resided in Lima. He further tells me that he has been present at the wedding of his niece Martha with Mr. Moeller, Private Teacher of Botany at the University of Greifswald; not less than fifty persons had sat down to the banquet. He also speaks of the abund[_] of money; Hamburg had contracted a loan of 18 million marks without difficulty at 3 per cent annual interest, and the interest on Prussian Consuls had been reduced from 4% to 3 1/2%, in which I much fear I am also interested. He says, finally, a few words regarding the will of the late Daniel Schutte, but, as he only speaks from hearsay, I prefer giving the details which we have learned from Mr.
