U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph. USS Talbot (DD-114/APD-7) was a Wickes class destroyer that served briefly towards the end of the First World War, but that was much more active as a fast transport in the Pacific during the Second World War. The Talbot was named after Silas Talbot, an officer in the Continental Navy who was eventually captured while commanding a privateer, and later served in the new US Navy. The Talbot left New York on 31 July at the start of a round-trip to Britain and back, the first of four she carried out during and immediately after the First World War. -

I would like to introduce myself to the CDSG membership as your chairperson for the next year. In my first letter to the group, I’d Coast Defense Study Group Annual Conference like to address comments in the 2011 Member Survey Responses, May 10-15, 2012 as published in the last edition of the newsletter. The comments Great Lake Forts that struck home with me were ones referring to the need for more John Weaver, [email protected] action / activity / site contact by the CDSG as an organization. Some quotes: “more preservation activities,” “would like to see Coast Defense Study Group Annual Conference more activities in my region,” “more preservation,” “outreach to May 2013 site owners,” “would like to see more active participation by the Pensacola/Mobile membership,” “more CDSG organized or sponsored work parties… David Ogden, [email protected] such as was done at Fort Washington,” “CDSG needs to impact the local forts”. Coast Defense Study Group Special Tour In response to these kinds of comments, one of the main goals June 2013 I see for the CDSG is increased activism. It seems that we live in a Norway time of declining park budgets and declining membership in vol- Terry McGovern, [email protected] unteer organizations across the board. Please take time to consider your contributions to preserving history, and make a renewed effort Other Meetings and Tours to pitch in.
