Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

  • Indian Country Community Safety Strategy 2018 Update
    Bart M. Davis United States Attorney, D. Idaho United States Attorney’s Office District of Idaho Indian Country Community Safety Strategy 2018 Update Our Indian Country1 community safety strategy, first issued in February 2011, is designed to improve public safety in Idaho’s tribal communities. Our office has a long history of meaningful involvement with Idaho’s five federally recognized tribes. Public safety in Indian Country requires collaboration between the U.S. Attorney’s Office, federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement, community and tribal leaders and the communities themselves. This updated strategy reaffirms the steps put in place over seven years ago, highlights successes, and identifies areas for improvement in public safety work in Indian Country. Indian Country and Idaho The federal government’s relationship with the tribes of what became the State of Idaho began in the fall of 1805 with Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery and the Shoshone and Nez Perce tribes. As is well known, these two tribes played crucial roles in the Corps’ success, with the Shoshone guiding, interpreting and facilitating peaceful interaction with other tribes. When the early snows of high country came, the Nez Perce provided crucial food, canoes and directions. Over the years, the relationships between the various states and tribes have ebbed and flowed. Likewise, the relationship between the federal government and the tribes have navigated a minefield of federal laws addressing tribes’ status, resources and ability to police their own lands. One aspect of the relationship, however, has remained constant. The federal government has treaty and trust obligations to ensure public safety for Native Americans.

  • Flooding Renata May 1, 2013
    Flooding Renata May 1, 2013 Hi Thomas, Thank you for this lovely essay about the 3 Gorges Dam. Where did you find out about it? Did you know that a dam in BC flooded the town in which your Great‐Great‐Granduncle lived? His name was Jacob (like yours), but people called him “Jake”. He and his wife lived in a small town called Renata on the Arrow Lakes of the Kootenay region in BC. They had a farm there with a lovely orchard of apples, cherries, pears, and peaches and a big garden of vegetables and flowers. I remember visiting the town when I was a bit older than you – maybe 14 or 15 years old (about 1958). We slept in an old yellow school bus that they had fixed up like a camper. They used it during the fall for farm workers to live in when they came by for the harvest. I have included a photo of it. I remember finding it strange because it had a side door near the back. Down the road from the farmhouse was an old wharf where a paddlewheeler would dock. They used a paddlewheeler in those days because they had a shallow draft (ask Zachary what that means if you don’t know) so the boat could come in very close to the many shallow spots along the Arrow lakes. The most famous of those sternwheelers was the Minto – pictured here in this photograph. It is docked at the wharf just in front of my Great‐Uncle Jake’s farm.

  • Fifth Nautical Nights Speaker Series Featuring Robert Turner
    News Release For Immediate Release 20 February 2018 Fifth Nautical Nights Speaker Series Featuring Robert Turner The Maritime Museum of BC is thrilled to host our fifth Nautical Nights Speaker Series featuring Robert Turner, who will speak on Canadian Pacific's B.C. Coast Steamship service and the challenges of the coast. This Speaker Series runs on the last Thursday of every month from September to April, with the exception of December. Talk Summary The Canadian Pacific's Princess steamships helped shape the history of coastal British Columbia, Washington and Alaska from the early 1900s until the 1970s. Not only were they some of the finest vessels working on the entire Pacific Coast of North America, they were also some of the fastest and most luxurious. Elegant and well built, they carried generations of thousands of travellers, families, seasonal workers, members of the armed forces, trappers, miners, loggers and others on fast inter-city services, on cruises to Alaska, and on services to remote logging camps, fish canneries, mines and settlements. The west coast is treacherous, and it has claimed many fine vessels including the Princess Sophia in 1918 and the Princess Kathleen in 1953 and most recently the Queen of the North. It took skill and experience to navigate this rugged coast especially in the days before many areas were systematically charted, and when GPS, radar and other modern aids to navigation where just distant dreams. The Princesses became legends along the coast and decades after they have passed into history, vessels such as the Princess Maquinna, Princess Joan, Princess May, Princess Mary, Princess Marguerite and Princess Kathleen are well remembered.

  • Channel Island Headstones for the Website
    JOURNAL October 40 2011 The Ulster Tower, Thiepval Please note that Copyright for any articles contained in this Journal rests with the Authors as shown. Please contact them directly if you wish to use their material. 1 Hello All I do not suppose that the global metal market features greatly in Great War journals and magazines, but we know, sometimes to our cost, that the demand from the emerging economies such as Brazil, China and India are forcing prices up, and not only for newly manufactured metals, but also reclaimed metal. There is a downside in that the higher prices are now encouraging some in the criminal fraternity to steal material from a number of sources. To me the most dangerous act of all is to remove railway trackside cabling, surely a fatal accident waiting to happen, while the cost of repair can only be passed onto the hard-pressed passenger in ticket price rises, to go along with the delays experienced. Similarly, the removal of lead from the roofs of buildings can only result in internal damage, the costs, as in the case of the Morecambe Winter Gardens recently, running into many thousands of pounds. Sadly, war memorials have not been totally immune from this form of criminality and, there are not only the costs associated as in the case of lead stolen from church roofs. These thefts frequently cause anguish to the relatives of those who are commemorated on the vanished plaques. But, these war memorial thefts pale into insignificance by comparison with the appalling recent news that Danish and Dutch marine salvage companies have been bringing up components from British submarine and ships sunk during the Great War, with a total loss of some 1,500 officers and men.

Ph. 250 352 3433 [email protected] discovernelson.com Scotiabank MS Bike Tour August 20-21, 2016 The tour starts in New Denver… Slocan Valley… New Denver- Founded upon the discovery of silver in the mountains adjacent to Slocan Lake in 1891, prospectors from the United States came flooding up to the New Denver region in 1892 to stake their claims, and gather their riches. New Denver quickly grew to a population of 500 people with 50 buildings. In 1895 this growing community built government offices and supply houses for the Silvery Slocan Mines. “A Simple Curve” was filmed in and around the Slocan Valley and was debuted in 2005. The story is of a young man born to war resister parents. War Resisters- In 1976 as many as 14,000 Americans came to the Slocan Valley in an attempt to avoid the Vietnam War. About half of those who made the move were self-proclaimed war resisters, many of whom settled in the Kootenay Region. Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre This exclusive interpretive centre features the Japanese-Canadian internment history of New Denver during the Second World War. The camp is said to have held close to 1500 internees during the war. The memorial centre opened in 1994, which showcases several buildings including the community hall and three restored tar paper shacks with Japanese gardens. A well known Canadian to come out of one of these local institutions is Dr.
