Post 4 of 4
:
161 years ago today, the USS Housatonic, commanded by Charles Pickering, was holding her station in the blockade just outside the sandbar on the edge of the Charleston Harbor. Robert F. Flemming, Jr., a landsman, first sighted an object in the water 100 yards off, approaching the ship. Pickering would bite that, “It had the appearance of a plank moving in the water.” Although all defensive measures were taken and all hands were called to their stations, it was too late... the Hunley was too close for the big guns of the Housatonic to target... Within two minutes of the first sighting, the Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley would ram her spar torpedo into Housatonic’s starboard side. Rocked by the impact of the collision, the ship started taking on water rapidly... United States Marines aboard the ship would return with small-arms fire against their stealthy foe... and then a moment later, an explosion... the torpedo embedded by the spar detonated the USS Housatonic begins sinking fast. Losing just 5 men in the collision and explosion, the crew of Federal Sailors piled into life boats and up the rigging. With the waters not being terribly deep at this point, the Housatonic comes to rest on the bottom with rigging still largely above water. The remaining sailors were rescued by near by blockade ships.

Post 3 of 4
:
The final preparations were being made. Everyone on the crew of the H.L. Hunley knew the mission, knew their jobs, and knew what was at stake if they were successful... everyone started to imagine being able to break the blockade... all the supplies and relief you could imagine would be able to come pouring into a deeply wounded Southern Confederacy... also in the backs of their minds, the fates of the previous two crews of the very ship they were about to set off in... everyone knew the gravity of the situation and each was prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice if necessary...
:
The orders to commence the attack would come around 8:30-8:45pm this very evening 161 years ago... Lt. Dixon and 7 crew members departed the docks and began to make their way through the shipping channel of Charleston Harbor towards to unsuspecting Union Naval Blockade...
:
The USS Housatonic had built a solid resume throughout 1863 with the captures of the SS Georgiana in March, the Sloop Neptune in April, and the SS Seesh in May... Housatonic would also take part in the massive artillery bombardments against Fort Wagner in July of that same year.
:
In the months following the Federal attacks against Fort Wagner and James Island, Housatonic would continue its role as part of the line of ships making up the Union Naval Blockade outside Charleston, South Carolina... things would remain mostly quiet/business as usual until roughly 9:00pm this evening…

Post 1 of 4
:
The USS Housatonic was a screw sloop-of-war of the United States Navy, named for the Housatonic River which runs through western Massachusetts and a Connecticut. In the 19th century, during the introduction of the steam engine, ships driven by propellers were differentiated from those driven by traditional paddle-wheels by referring to the ship's propellers as screws (think R.M.S. Titanic... she was a 3-Screw ship... meaning 3 propellers).
:
Launched on November 20, 1861 from the Boston Navy Yard, and commissioned on August 29, 1862, Housatonic was armed with 1 100-pound Parrott rifle, 3 30-pound Parrott rifles, 1 11-inch Dahlgren smoothbore, 2 32-pound Howitzers, 2 24-pound Howitzers, 1 12-pound Howizter, and 1 12-pound rifle... Housatonic was one of four sister ships which included USS Adirondack, USS Ossipee, and USS Juniata. Housatonic has the dubious distinction of being the first ship sunk in combat by a submarine when on this day in history 1864, she was attacked and sunk by the H.L. Hunley in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina.
:
Before her sinking though, the USS Housatonic had a short, but remarkably successful career as part of the Union Naval blockade of Charleston Harbor in South Carolina.
:
After arriving on the scene in late September 1862, her first major action comes in January 1863 when her crew captures and boards the Princess Royal, a Confederate blockade runner that had been driven aground by Union gunboats while attempting to breakthrough into Charleston Harbor with marine engines presumed to used in the future construction of Confederate ironclads as well as a large amount of ordnance destined for frontline rebel troops. These supplies were deemed so important that their recovery was attempted by the CSS Chicora and the CSS Palmetto State who slipped their way out of the harbor and began attacking several Union boats before being driven off the the Housatonic’s guns!
:
She would continue to add to her resume throughout 1863 with the captures of the SS Georgiana in March, the Sloop Neptune in April, and the SS Seesh in May... USS Housatonic would also take part in the massive artillery bombardments against Fort Wagner in July during the failed attack by the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment which resulted in the famed regiment suffering heavy casualties.
:
In the months following the Federal attacks against Fort Wagner and James Island, Housatonic would continue its role as part of the line of ships making up the Union Naval Blockade outside Charleston, South Carolina... things would remain mostly quiet/business as usual until roughly 9:00pm this evening on this day in history…

15/02/2025

On this day in 1898, the armed cruiser the USS Maine, exploded under mysterious circumstances in Havana Harbor during the Cuban War of Independence.
:
The first warship in the US Navy to be named for the state of Maine, this second-class battleship was sent to protect US economic interests while a decades long build up of uprisings between Cuba and Spain had finally escalated into an all out revolution. Additionally, the Maine and other naval forces were moved into position to attack on several fronts if war was not avoided.
:
The United States had been sympathetic to a number of the Cuban uprisings over the years because of their post American Civil War dependencies on trade in regards to things like sugar, but more so in large part due to the “yellow” journalism that was circulating the nation at the time which factually described horrible concentration camps and atrocities being committed against the Cubans with many exaggerations being included in the various publications of people like Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. Sympathetic or not, the United States main interests were initially with the prospect of stability rather than a full-throated supported of the fledgling Cuban nation.
:
In April 1898 after negotiations had failed between the United States and Spain, the US Navy began a blockade of Cuba and subsequently within days, each nation had declared war on the other.
:
The war would last 16 weeks. In victory, the United States would gain territorial control over Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippine Islands. American Ambassador to the United Kingdom, John Hay, described it as “a splendid little war.” It was a significant event in the United States at the time because of the still fresh scars left behind a generation before during the American Civil War. The Spanish-American War would see Northerners and Southerners, blacks and whites fighting together under a single flag, united against a common foe.
:
A little more than a century after the nations founding, the idea of American imperialism changed in the public's mind after the short and successful Spanish–American War. The prospects of expanding American interests and activities into the global community no longer were completely off the table (as we would see just a little more than a decade later). Due to the United States' powerful influence diplomatically and militarily throughout the negotiations and subsequent war with Spain, it firmly established the United States' vision of itself as a "defender of democracy" and as a major world power among the more tenured European and Asian nations and empires.

In the late hours of February 7, 1813, the French frigate Aréthuse and the British frigate HMS Amelia, squared off in a major single-ship battle off the coast of Western Africa near Îles de Los, off Guinea. The brutal engagement lasted four hours, and left both ships significantly damaged and with many wounded.
:
With no conclusive outcome, the ships broke off contact and returned to their ports. Both the French and the British claimed the battle as a victory for their sides. causing significant damage and casualties to both opponents, and resulted in a stalemate. The two ships parted and returned to their respective ports of call, both sides claiming victory.
:
Taking place during the Napoleonic Wars, the battle occurred at a time when the British had taken firm control of the colonies and commerce from the Indian Ocean, to shores of Western Africa. The French, having lost a number of colonies and shipping ventures, launched a series of raids throughout these regions in attempts to harass and disrupt the English commerce and trade.
:
In November of 1812, a naval squadron of 2 Frigates were sent to seek British ships off the coast of Western Africa. The squadron consisted of a 40-gun frigate Aréthuse, under the command of Captain Pierre Bouvet, and another 40-gun frigate Rubis, under Commander Louis-François Ollivier.
:
After reaching Cape Verde in late December, the French force was met with a series of treacherous storms and a fever outbreak that delayed their mission into mid January, when they immediately set to work by capturing the Portuguese slave ship Serra and the British cutter Hawk.
:
On January 29, 1813, after pursuing the British 16-gun HMS Daring, the Aréthuse and Rubis dropped anchor off the coast of Sierra Leone and went ashore to resupply for 6 months at sea and to parole their prisoners. During this time, some of the crew of the HMS Daring had arrived in Freetown and informed Captain Frederick Paul Irby in command of the HMS Amelia about the presence of the two French frigates. After some corroboration and reconnaissance, including a lieutenant from the HMS Daring personally observing the names of the French ships, on February 3rd, HMS Amelia weighed anchor and headed to intercept the squadron near Îles de Los.
:
On February 4, 1813, Aréthuse and Rubis were damaged in a gale while at anchor. Aréthuse broke her rudder when she grounded on the rocks and Rubis was damaged so significantly that she was deemed unsalvageable and was scuttled, with Commander Ollivier and his crew transferring to the Portuguese ship Serra. Over the next day and a half as the repairs were made to Aréthuse and the transfer of crew and materials from the Rubis to the Serra was completed, the HMS Amelia was able to catch up.
:
On the morning of February 6th, while Aréthuse was completing her repairs, HMS Amelia appeared in the horizon. Captain Bouvet ordered Aréthuse in pursuit and by evening the two ships were close enough greet each other… Captain Bouvet raised the French colours and Aréthuse fired a carronade; Captain Irby and Amelia answered by raising the Union Jack and returning a volley. Soon the early morning fog and thick smoke from the cannons obscured the ships from each other and later Aréthuse found herself alone at sea.
:
Around 11:00am, HMS Amelia appeared again on the horizon and the two ships began a chase which lasted until just after 7:00pm with Aréthuse closing in and Amelia turning to confront her.
:
As they passed each other, Aréthuse came about and broadsided Amelia with her full compliment of twenty-six 18-pounder long guns, two 8-pounder chase guns, and fourteen 24-pounder carronades. The ferocious volley cut the braces and topsail of Amelia as she in kind answered immediately with a volley of twenty-six 18-pounders and twenty 32-pounder carronades.
:
The ships were so close that the distance was described as “pistol range,” and that gunners from both sides were reaching through the gunports and snatching the ramrods of their opponents and duelling with sabres, but neither side made any attempts to board the other.
:
90 minutes of devastating exchanges would take place, during which Captain Irby of the Amelia was wounded. Captain Pierre Bouvet decided at this time to try and board Amelia, but was unable to maneuver Aréthuse effectively due to the damaged she had sustained thus far in the fight. Resuming the cannonades, Aréthuse and Amelia would batter each other until approximately 11:00pm when the ships had separated far enough that fog began to obscure them.
:
The following morning when the two ships were visual to each other again, the Aréthuse attempted to reach Amelia to resume the engagement, but the damage both ships sustained made this impossible and each returned to their home port claiming victory for themselves.
:
In the aftermath of the battle, Aréthuse had suffered 20 killed and 98 wounded and Amelia 51 killed with 90 wounded.

The Designated Hitter Is Born, January 11, 1973!

"The pitcher who can't get in there in the pinch and win his own game with a healthy wallop, isn't more than half earning his salary in my way of thinking.” -Babe Ruth
..So said the great Bambino himself. And who am I to argue with the Babe? Well Babe, I guess it’s fair to say that most pitchers aren’t as good at hitting as you were!

Fifty-three years ago this week, the long-debated idea of allowing a position player to bat in place of the pitcher was finally voted into existence following an 8-4 favorable vote by the twelve American League owners. The so-called “Designated Hitter” was slated to be introduced in the upcoming 1973 baseball season on a three-year trial basis. The new rule applied to the American League only. At the time many felt that if the fans liked it, the National League would soon follow suit. As we all know that didn’t happen until 2022, forty-nine years later.

So on Opening Day of the 1973 season, April 6, 1973, the Yankees' Ron Blomberg strode to the plate in a game against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Facing Red Sox right-hand Luis Tiant, Blomberg walked on five pitches with the bases loaded in the first inning. With this at-bat, Blomberg officially became the first designated hitter in the history of the major leagues.

In the featured photo above, we see Ron Blomberg, the first DH.

09/01/2025

On this day in 1815, just outside modern day Chalmette, Louisiana, Brevet Major General and future President of the United States, Andrew Jackson in command of roughly 5,700 US troops, defeated British forces led by Major General Sir Edward Pakenham during the Battle Of New Orleans.
:
More than 2 weeks after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, which formally ended the War of 1812, Maj. Gen. Pakenham, acting on secret orders from the British Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, Henry Bathurst, commenced a two-pronged attack against heavily fortified American Earthworks. The British objective was to capture US artillery and turn it against the American line in assistance to the main British assault against Jackson’s earthworks.
:
Complications had led to significant delays for one of the prongs and as a result, when the main assault stepped off, they did so without the benefit of support or a diversion. Initially dark and very foggy, as the British soldiers approached the American lines, the fog began to lift, exposing them to devastating artillery fire. In this confusion it was realized that the British had also failed to bring the equipment needed to overcome the canal obstacles and to eventually scale the earthworks. This created chaos and confusion up and down the British lines and as a result, they started taking heavy casualties.
:
Though small successes were achieved by the British during this advance, Jackson and US troops repulsed both attacks, utterly destroying Pakenham’s forces, Pakenham being mortally wounded.
:
In the days after the Battle of New Orleans, the British had planned to continue their Louisiana Campaign and engaged in a number of actions attempting to pe*****te further into the United States Interior, however as news of the Treaty of Ghent made it’s way to the respective commanders, the campaign was called off and General Andrew Jackson canceled plans to attack the British, which had captured a garrison at Mobile Bay, Alabama. The War of 1812 was officially over.
