Demolition Team
Blows Up Ship
A demolition team from the
Naval Station blew up the “mys
tery” ship reported several weeks
ago as lying on the beach at Sit
kinak.
The team comprised of Alex
ander Case, CWO, and members
Alvin Rosenbloom, BM1; and Har
ry Sheppard, EM2, flew in recently
nearby and walked to the beach.
The hull, first found by George
Cornelius and Henry Neseth, was
of wood construction. There were
no engines or machinery aboard,
just the after part of the main
deck remaining. There was a 20mm
gun still aboard and 3 live 300
pound depth charges.
The team blew up the remains
before leaving, and the explosion
blasted a hole about 8 feet deep
and 20 feet across.
In 1877 Lt. W. W. Wood, USN,
perfected a system for communi
cating the English Morse tele
graphic code by use of lights. The
Navy adopted the Morse Code the
previous year.
One Beam family for six
generations... One Kentucky Bourbon
formula for 165 years!

What makes Beam bourbon taste so T
good? More than anything—it is the fact
that today, as for 165 years, it is still the f
Beams who make BEAM, under the
same formula, in the same Kentucky ||
country where bourbon was born. That
is why you can always buy Beam
bourbon with trust.
