The Historic Site is planning to lease approximately 10 houses AT LINCOLN HOME for low-key business, commercial, George L. Painter or professional use. This can be done under the provisions of the 1980 amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act. As part of the program, the lessee must preserve, restore, and maintain the exterior of the structure during the term of the lease. In turn, the lessee will be permitted to adap- tively restore the interior, subject to the restriction that major architec­ tural features must be preserved. In early 1985, the Site launched the program by announcing that the Corneau and Stuve Houses would be made available for leas­ ing. From 1855 to 1860, the Cor­ neau House was the residence of Lincoln's friend, pharmacist Charles Corneau. Historic records show that the Lincoln family purchased such items as "Cough Candy," "Caster Oil," and "Hair Balsam" at the Corneau and Diller drugstore. The Stuve House, on the other hand, was constructed more than ten years after Lincoln's One-half million people visit the Lincoln Home in Springfield, IL each year departure from Springfield.

  • Review 20120926* – USS Lionfish Submarine 1:180 Revell 85-5228 Review
    RoR Step-by-Step Review 20120926* – USS Lionfish Submarine 1:180 Revell 85-5228 Review The USS Lionfish (SS-298), a Balao-class submarine, was the only ship of the United States Navy named for the lionfish. Her keel was laid down on 15 December 1942; she launched on 7 November 1943, and was commissioned on 1 November 1944. Revell has given us another fine reproduction of a WWII hero. The Balao class submarine, USS Lionfish. Although this is a re-release of 1988 vintage with a few exceptions the molding is very good. And though this kit is rated as a Skill Level 2 I believe it would be a great project for just about anyone with a little supervision when it comes to the rudder and bow and stern planes. I feel this is the kit for some parent- child bonding for some good family time. For the Modeler: This kit consists of 40 pieces molded in gray and features highly detailed hull, deck, bridge and conning tower. Included are twin propellers, diving planes, deck gun, and anti-aircraft guns. Paint references; an altered assembly sequence; part orientation notes; construction tips; prop shaft alignment; modular construction techniques; and display stand finishing methods are all fully explored in this Step-by-Step review.

On that morning the face of naval warfare in the Pacific changed utterly. No longer would the war at sea be decided by squadrons of the world’s largest and most powerful battleships. Instead, the strategic emphasis shifted to a combination of two more lethal and far-ranging naval weapon systems. The aircraft carrier would replace the battleship by being able to increase the deadly range of a fleet from a few tens of miles – the range of battleship guns – to the hundreds of miles range of bomb- and torpedo-carrying aircraft. In addition, the American submarine would be able to place a strangler’s grip on the throat of the Japanese empire that, unlike the German U-boats’ attempts to control the Atlantic waters, could not be broken. Some have said that the result of the attack at Pearl Harbor was fortuitous in that it forced the US Navy to look toward the carrier and submarine to defend the southern Pacific and the United States’ western coast. This argument overlooks, however, the prewar build-up in those two weapons platforms, which seems to indicate that some individuals were looking seriously toward the future and the inevitable conflict.

If the Napoleonic era is one of your favourites, perhaps you have re-fought all or part of the Battle. Perhaps the anniversary may prompt you to try again or try for the first time. Either way, send a few words on how the re-match went for inclusion in AGB. Below, courtesy of Rob Morgan, is a “Nelson” Quiz. And you won’t have to wait a month for the answers this time as the answers are towards the end of this AGB. No cheating though, see if you can answer any before checking the answers. Cheers Norman Bell Thanks to Jeff and Todd for bringing the following article to my notice. The plucky Perch, hardy frogman steed by laststandonzombieisland Here at LSOZI, we are going to take off every Wednesday for a look at the old steam/diesel navies of the 1859-1946 time period and will profile a different ship each week. These ships have a life, a tale all of their own, which sometimes takes them to the strangest places. - Christopher Eger Here we see the Balao-class submarine USS Perch (SS-313) as she appeared in the late 1960s off Pearl Harbor with her crew in summer whites. This hardy vessel made seven war patrols during WWII then remained one of the last operational smoke boats in the U.S. Navy, seeing hot service in both Korea and Vietnam. The 128-ship Balao class were classic 311-foot, 2500-ton 'fleet boats' designed to roam the Pacific on patrols that could last some 75-days due to their 11,000-nm range.
