  • The Early Years of the Us Naval Torpedo Station, Newport
    III. MEđuNARODNA KONFERENCIJA O INDUSTRIJSKOJ BAštINI 515 WE’LL DO IT OUR WAY: THE EARLY YEARS OF THE U.S. NAVAL TORPEDO STATION, NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND1 Učinit ćemo to po svome: Rane godine američke pomorske torpedne stanice u Newportu, na Rhode Islandu Steven A. Walton*, dr. phil. Pennsylvania State University, USA Summary When the U.S. Civil War ended in 1865 it became clear to the U.S. Navy that both stationary torpedoes (mines) and mobile torpedoes (spar and towed) would become important elements of naval warfare – both to deploy offensively as well as guard against defensively. Although it took four years, the U.S. Naval Torpedo Station (NTS) was set up in Newport Rhode Island to both train officers in torpedo warfare as well as develop and evaluate torpedo technology for the Navy. The fist fifteen years of the NTS (1869-1884) saw it evolve from a barren outpost with three staff to a bustling research and training center in electrical, chemical, and explosives engineer- ing. Interestingly, the station steadfastly ignored the Whitehead Torpedo, then clearly the leading form of automobile torpedo then under development in Fiume (Rijeka). This paper will explore the origins of the NTS, the early history of its buildings as best we can discern them, describe the work carried on there in the first 15 years, and then briefly describe its later history and eventual closure and dismantling. In par- * [email protected] 1 The present paper is a condensation of my larger work on theNTS and its civilian personnel. This will culminate in a book on the early history of the Station entitled Devils of Our Own: The Naval Torpedo Station in Newport, 1869-1884 and an article, “Making the Devil’s Device Scientific: WalterN .

    Importing Napoleon: Engineering the American Military Nation, 1814-1821 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jonathan M. Romaneski, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Mark Grimsley, Advisor Dr. John Brooke Dr. Jennifer Siegel Copyright by Jonathan Romaneski 2017 Abstract As the War of 1812 drew to a close, the American nation was economically exhausted and politically upended. The great crisis of the war loomed over the American shorelines from mid-1814 onward, when British reinforcements under a new and more aggressive British commander threatened offensive thrusts into U.S. territory at multiple points. Americans were completely unprepared to meet the British invasion attempts; the United States parried all British thrusts in 1814 almost in spite of itself. Thus, by the end of 1814, the Madison administration (with strong input from James Monroe) began to seek to reform the American military establishment to ensure a more disciplined and uniform militia system, a better-educated and “professional” officer corps, and a stout system of seacoast fortifications. The reformers looked no further than the Napoleonic military system for all their answers. In order to convince the American people and their congressional representatives that greater investment in a Napoleonic-style army was necessary, the reformers relied on a narrative of the War of 1812 that emphasized the frailty of the militia and the heroism of the regulars. Complicating the reformers’ narrative was, first, the strong antimilitary ideological traditions that Americans had held so closely since the Revolutionary era, and second, a counternarrative of the war that arose from Andrew Jackson’s victory at New Orleans.

  • The Most Successful American Privateer
    12 American Antiquarian Society. [April, THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN PRIVATEER AN EPISODE OF THE WAR OF 1812 BY WILFRED HAROLD MUNRO The most successful American Privateer was the Yankee. She sailed from Bristol, Rhode Island, a town whose citizens had already, for a hundred years, been actively interested in the business of privateering. In 1680, four years after the death of the Indian "King Philip" the lands of the conquered sachem were by grant of the English king, Charles II, conferred upon his colony of Plymouth. • In that year a town was found- ed to which the name Bristol was given. For one hun- dred and fifty years after its foundation this town car- ried on a commerce that was entirely disproportionate to its size. It was a very important commercial center in the days when a large proportion of the commerce of the American colonies and states was carried on by the vessels that hailed from Narragansett Bay. Its commerce was at first mainly with the West India islands. Then a brisk trade was built up with the "Coast of Af- rica"—a trade that was especially profitable in the early years of the nineteenth century. In 1804 the first cargo was imported from China. A profitable business with the "Northwest Coast" naturally followed. The year 1812 saw the town at the zenith of its com- mercial prosperity. It could then have numbered not more than 2,800 people, of whom 2,600 were white. (The blacks for many years constituted from six to seven per cent of the population, possibly because of the voy- ages to Africa.) The leading merchant of the town was James DeWolf, a man of extraordinary business ability.
