FLAGSHIP OF
I CIVIL WAR IS
DESTROYED
EASTPORT, Me., June 3 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A mass of twisted
metals and charred timber lying on
Coney Beach here is all that remains
of the frigate Richmond, once the
pride of the United States navy, The
famous wooden warship, built in 1858,
was used during three wars in capa
cities varying from admiral’s flagship
lo receiving ship and was finally burn
ed for the copper in her hull.
The Richmond was Admiral Far
ragut’s flagship during the civil war
and was in several famous engage
ments in southern waters and along
the Mississippi river. It is said that
the Richmond was one of the first
! American ships to be camouflaged.
During the bombardment of New Or
leans, Farragut ordered the inan-o’
war camouflaged and not having the
necessary paint, the frigate was then
smeared with mud. partly obscuring
her from the enemy’s view.
A few years later the Richmond was
retired but was put in commission
again in 1898 for the Spanish-Ameri
can war, when she was used as a re
ceiving ship at the Philadelphia navy
yard. Then for almost 20 years she
was held idle at the Norfolk navy
yard but was put into use again in
the world war as a receiving and a
training ship.
The once great warship’s days of
usefulness were over and a short time
ago she was towed to Eastport. The
torch was applied to her by Captain
John F. Turner, of Newburyport,
Mass-, holder of the world’s deep-sea
diving record. After lighting several
fires from bow to stern Captain Turn
er hauled down the American flag
from the frigate and jumped into the
* Passamaquoddy’ bay. He was picked
up by part of the ship’s crew in a
dory for the noted diver cannot swim.
The beach on which the Richmond
was burned is the most eastern point
on the Maine coast and is where four
other wooden frigates, the Franklin,
Wabash, Minnesota and Vermont,
were turned by junkmen in other
! years.
