Time for something a little different (but not totally different) from the civil war era photos I've been posting. Here's a modern photo showing night-firing of a civil war era cannon. I would use it for my T-Net Avatar photo if I was less than proud of my Confederate Veteran ancestors' service.

Heads up folks... "something wicked this way comes"...

And it's name is Irma.

Pay close attention to this storm.

Im scared AARC, very very scared. As much as I need a storm to move some sand at the treasure spot, I dont want my house moved off its foundation. Already starting to move stuff around the yard and clean up. Time to dust off the storm shutters.

hoping everyone isn't getting their fill with these lovely ladies, just a couple more, then I'm done! Promise! (not!)

Bart... you are smart by being scared and utilizing this fear to begin prep PRIOR ...

Fear... has a way of either stopping one in their tracks...
OR...
Giving one the instinct, strength and motivational urge to prep to minimalize losses...
And most of all...

To survive.

[h=1]THE LADY WASHINGTON[/h]

Launched on March 7, 1989, the Lady Washington was built in Aberdeen, Wash., by Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public development authority. The new Lady Washington is a full-scale replica of the original Lady Washington.In 1787, after the Revolutionary War, she was given a major refit to prepare her for a unprecedented trading voyage around Cape Horn. In 1788, she became the first American vessel to make landfall on the west coast of North America.A pioneer in Pan-Pacific trade, she was the first American ship to visit Honolulu, Hong Kong and Japan. Lady Washington opened the black pearl and sandalwood trade between Hawaii and Asia when King Kamehameha became a partner in the ship.The modern Lady Washington, constructed as a brig, was thoroughly researched by historians and constructed by skilled shipwrights. She was launched as part of the 1989 Washington State Centennial celebration. The new Lady Washington is a U.S. Coast Guard inspected and certified passenger sailing vessel.Over the years, Lady Washington has appeared in several motion pictures and television shows, including Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Star Trek: Generations, Once Upon A Time, and Revolution.

Civil war era photo (actually half of a "stereoview"), showing huge stacks of Heavy-Caliber cannonballs in the background. and cannonballs strewn around by explosions, in the burnt-out ruins of the Tredegar Ironworks and Richmond Arsenal, when that city fell in April 1865.

I previously posted a photo taken in 1865 showing the "seawall" below the battered brick walls of Fort Sumter SC, littered with dud artillery shells, fragments of exploded ones, and a large cannon which fell from its emplacement at the top of the fort's walls. Here's another from the same time-period, showing just how completely the years-long yankee Heavy-Caliber Artillery bombardment of the fort's brick walls reduced them to ruins. This photo was taken by Confederate photographer George S. Cook. We can be sure about that, because the flag flying at the left of the fort is the 2nd Confederate National flag.

Be sure to click on the photo to enlarge it, then click again to super-enlarge it.

Holy cow them "damned Yankees" obliterated Sumter. Yes I am very much pro Yankee, but respect the fight the Confederates put up!
