  • Commodore Finalthesis Kimberlyeslinger 02.Pdf (3.762Mb)
    76 The Theories: The documentary record leaves a few theories that need exploration if the reason for Commodore’s loss is to be determined. There are allegations of treason, deliberate scuttling, overloading, seams bursting, blocked pumps, and misunderstood valves. The only two informants following the tugboat’s loss who refused to speculate were Crane and Captain Murphy. Archaeologists, historians, and divers at Commodore’s wreck site have sought answers to the alternate hypotheses for over two decades. At this time, there is no way to prove or disprove any of the newspapers’ theories without excavating the site, an option considered unsuitable at this time within the current research design. Although it is impossible to determine from the documentary record what caused Commodore to sink on January 2, 1897, it is possible to partially recreate the ship’s final moments from the wreckage strewn on the seafloor. First, however, the site had to be found. The unlikely teaming of an English professor from Jacksonville University and a diver from Daytona Beach led to the discovery of the site believed to be the sunken Commodore. CHAPTER V: “SAVE FOR THE TOPS, WHICH WERE OF FOAMING WHITE:” THE SITE: Discovering Commodore: Newspaper accounts at the time of Commodore’s loss claim the ship sank “twenty fathoms below the surface, about eighteen miles north of Mosquito Inlet” (Florida Times- Union, January 3, 1897). The ship’s loss in 120 feet of water more than eighteen miles from shore made locating the lost Commodore difficult at best. How then was the vessel found? If Commodore suffered the same fate as other “rediscovered wrecks” what salvage work has occurred at the site? This chapter addresses the discovery, state of the site, and salvage attempts made at the site believed to be the lost Commodore.

Horsey Kingston, Ontario 1942 This narrative has been prepared as a tribute of respect to the memory of Good Friends. THE GILDERSLEEVES OF KINGSTON — THEIR ACTIVITIES — 1816 - 1930 — On Lake Ontario, St. Lawrence River and Bay of Quinte POSSIBLY IN NO SPHERE of endeavor have more revolutionary changes taken place, during the past century, than those in connection with transportation. Modes of service considered essential, and depended upon, hare given way to the introduction and gradual perfecting of the steam railway and automotive methods; together with the merging of industries, bringing about a change in the centres of distribution and marketing. Bo field of operation was more effected than movement by water, both freight and passenger, and services which played an important part in the development of the country for over a hundred years are now only memories of the past - lost to a great extent in oblivion. Outstanding among those who achieved distinction in this regard, during the nineteenth century, were members of the Gildersleeve family—Henry Gildersleeve, his sons and grandson —who, together with their activities, are now remembered only by the older generation of present Kingstonians. Their names are associated with the inauguration and development of steam navigation on Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River and Bay of Quinte, particularly the latter, extending over a period of some ninety-five years. In fact, Henry Gildersleeve, the elder, was generally referred to as "the father of steam navigation," as regards the waters of this section of the Province of Ontario.
