“The USS Akron Tragedy”
“The USS Akron Tragedy” I just hung on. I saw the other fellows fall and it didn’t make me feel any too good, but there was nothing I could do about it—‘ceptin’ to hang on tighter. I wouldn’t do it again for love or money. --Navy Apprentice Seaman C. M. Cowart, May 12, 1932 Since the early 1900s, the U.S. military had been fascinated with the potential of lighter-than-air aircraft. Between the world wars, U.S. Navy built several huge, helium-filled airships. But despite years of experience in airship construction, the dirigibles were risky to fly and often dangerous to land. San Diego would be the scene of a landing tragedy in May 1932. The USS Akron was launched on August 8, 1931, after a christening by the president’s wife, Mrs. Herbert Hoover, at the Goodyear-Zeppelin plant in Akron, Ohio. At 785 feet long and 152 feet tall, the steel-framed Akron was the biggest helium-filled airship ever built. Only the German- built, hydrogen-filled Hindenburg was larger. Called the “Queen of the Skies,” the Akron was flying warship, protected by seven machine guns, and carrying a crew of 89 naval officers and men. Along with her sister ship, the USS Macon, the Akron was designed for reconnaissance--to be the “eyes” of the Pacific fleet. The Akron was also built as a flying aircraft carrier. A remarkable inboard aircraft hanger carried two Sparrowhawk reconnaissance biplanes. The airplanes could be lowered from the dirigible by a “flying trapeze” and then launched into the sky. -
Big Sur for Other Uses, See Big Sur (Disambiguation)
www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Big Sur For other uses, see Big Sur (disambiguation). Big Sur is a lightly populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. Although it has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (140 km) of coastline from the Carmel River in Monterey County south to the San Carpoforo Creek in San Luis Obispo County,[1][2] and extend about 20 miles (30 km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias. Other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland. Another practical definition of the region is the segment of California State Route 1 from Carmel south to San Simeon. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". This name refers to its location south of the city of Monterey.[3] The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only 3 miles (5 km) from the ocean.[4] The name Big Sur can also specifically refer to any of the small settlements in the region, including Posts, Lucia and Gorda; mail sent to most areas within the region must be addressed "Big Sur".[5] It also holds thousands of marathons each year. -

Eaton wins $250 million, 20 -year aerospace contract for world's largest airship Wed May 16, 2001 - CLEVELAND, OHIO… Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation (NYSE:ETN) said today its Aerospace business unit has signed a contractual agreement with CargoLifter Development GmbH of Berlin/Brand, Germany to provide the hydraulic power generation and distribution systems for the CargoLifter CL160 airship. The CL160 will be the largest lighter -than -air cargo airship in the world, and is designed to t ransport extremely large and heavy equipment and cargo containers. The program represents a revenue potential for Eaton of approximately $250 million over the next 20 years. Eaton has been selected to design, develop and integrate the hydraulic power gen eration system to power the blowers for the ballonets of the lighter -than -air gas management system, the winches for the cargo loading system and the flight controls. Eaton will also design and manufacture the entire hydraulic fluid power distribution netw ork that will provide total fluid conveyance for the hydraulic power generation system. The Eaton designed 4000 psi hydraulic system will be powered by eight Vickers brand main engine driven pumps and six Vickers brand AC motor pumps. The main hydraulic system will provide up to 1400 kilowatts of power to 16 speed -controlled blower motors, four to eight winch motors and eight flight control actuators, as well as several auxiliary power functions. Classified as a semi -rigid airship, as opposed to a blimp or dirigible, the CargoLifter's exterior structure is supported by an inner "bladder", or ballonet, which maintains the shape and altitude of the airship by increasing or decreasing air pressure. -

The light at Point Pinos is furnished by a third-order fixed lens equipped with an electric lamp which burns continuously. The character- istic of the light is occulting white every thirty seconds, the light interval being twenty seconds and the eclipse period ten seconds. This characteristic is obtained by means of a revolving screen driven by clockwork which occults the light for 10 seconds in each thirty sec- ond interval. The light is rated at 2900 candlepower and its geo- graphical range con-is 15 miles, although its optical range would be siderable' greater in clear weather. 2.

Lighthouse Society’s The Keeper’s Log – Summer 2007 <www.uslhs.org> Point Cabrillo Light Station, California By Bruce Rogerson and James Kimbrell n terms of age Point Cabrillo Light Station is a mere youngster, having first been lit in June 1909. However, the location I of the lighthouse on a fifty-foot bluff two miles north of Mendocino Village on the rugged coast of northern California is of great historic significance. Less than half a mile to the north lies Frolic Cove, the site of one of the most important ship wrecks on the Pacific Coast. Two miles to the south, at the mouth of Big River, is the site of the first lumber mill on the Mendocino Coast. Point Cabrillo is named for Juan Rodri- guez Cabrillo, the earliest European navigator and explorer to visit the Pacific Coast of Cali- fornia. One of his lieutenants is reported to have sailed this coast in 1542 and to have named Cape Mendocino after the Spanish Governor of New Spain or Mexico, Antonio de Mendoza. Early 19th Century Portuguese settlers and fishermen in nearby Fort Bragg, who claim Cabrillo as one their countrymen, may have given the name to the headland and subsequently to the Light Station.
