Wilmington Savings Fund Society Building

The Wilmington Savings Fund Society Building is a historic bank building at 838 North Market Street in Wilmington, Delaware, United States. The three-story masonry structure was built in 1920, replacing an earlier building constructed by the Wilmington Savings Fund Society in 1886, and was designed by the New York City Hoggson Brothers firm. It is a stately expression of the Classical Revival, with massive Egyptian columns supporting porticos on three sides. Prior to WSFS Bank moving to its current headquarters on Delaware Avenue, the building's main entry on North Market Street featured an ornate dentillated pediment. The lobby featured a mural by N. C. Wyeth, added in 1932. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. In 2015, construction began to turn the building into apartments aimed at housing teachers from the area's many public and charter schools.

Fort Christina

Fort Christina (en suédois : Fort Kristina) est le premier établissement colonial suédois en Amérique du Nord et le principal établissement de la Nouvelle-Suède, construit en 1638. L'établissement était situé à environ 1,6 km de l'actuel centre-ville de la ville Wilmington. Histoire Colonisation suédoise Il a été nommé en l'honneur de la reine Christine de Suède. Colonie néerlandaise En 1655, il fut repris manu militari par Pieter Stuyvesant, directeur-général qui souhaitait reprendre le contrôle du territoire sur lequel la Compagnie néerlandaise des Indes occidentales maintenait ses prétentions. La population d'origine scandinave qui s'était jusqu'ici établie sur les rives de la Zuidrivier put continuer à pratiquer sa religion luthérienne en autant qu'ils reconnaissent la souveraineté des États généraux et de la Compagnie sur leur territoire. Jean-Paul Jacquet reçut la charge de l'axe méridional de la colonie au nom du Directeur-général Stuyvesant. Les Néerlandais préférèrent déplacer le centre administratif de la région au Fort Casimir, dont l'endroit était jugé plus apte à défendre. Fort Christina fut du même coup, renommé Fort Altena. En 1656, cette région fut accordée par la Compagnie à la ville d'Amsterdam qui entendait peupler et exploiter la région comme un patroonat (patroonschap en néerlandais), c'est-à-dire sa propre possession seigneuriale. En 1664, les Anglais s'emparèrent de Nouvelle-Néerlande au nom du duc d'York Jacques Stuart. En 1673, la colonie de New York redevint néerlandaise lorsque Cornelis Evertsen le Jeunet et Jacob Binckes aux commandes d'une expédition navale jointe des amirautés d'Amsterdam et de Zélande reprirent New York/La Nouvelle-Amsterdam (renommée La Nouvelle-Oranje pour l'occasion) puis subséquemment Albany/Beverwijck (rebaptisée Willemstadt) et le delta du Delaware. L'année suivante, par le traité de Westminster, les Néerlandais cédèrent définitivement la Nouvelle-Néerlande à la couronne anglaise.

Fort Christina

Fort Christina (Later hernoemd naar: Fort Altena, Zweeds: Fort Kristina) was de eerste Zweedse nederzetting in Noord-Amerika en het werd een belangrijke nederzetting in de kolonie Nieuw-Zweden. Het fort lag enkele kilometers oostwaarts van het hedendaagse Wilmington (Delaware). Het fort is vernoemd naar koningin Christina I van Zweden. Geschiedenis Naar aanleiding van de plannen van koning Gustaaf II Adolf van Zweden stichtten de Zweden een kolonie in Noord-Amerika. Op 29 maart 1638 arriveerden zij met de schepen Kalmar Nyckel en Fogel Grip' onder leiding van Peter Minuit in Amerika. Ze kwamen aan bij de Christina River, een zijarm van de Delaware. Hun plek van aankomst werd door Minuit gezien als een goede plek voor de lokale handel met de Lenni-Lenape. Onder leiding van gouverneur Peter Hollander Ridder werd in 1640 het fort verder versterkt voor eventuele aanvallen van de Nederlanders en de Indianen. Doordat de bewoning in de loop van de jaren rondom het fort toenam werd het grondig verbouwd in 1647. In 1655 vielen de Nederlanders onder leiding van Peter Stuyvesant Fort Christina aan en na 10 dagen gaf het fort zich al over. De Zweedse lokale bevolking mocht er blijven wonen, maar het fort werd door Stuyvesant hernoemd naar Fort Altena. Monument In 1938, tijdens de viering van de driehonderdste verjaardag van de Zweedse kolonisatie werd er door de staat Delaware een park aangelegd rondom de plek waar het oude fort stond. In de aanwezigheid van president Franklin D. Roosevelt, kroonprins Gustaaf Adolf, Louise Mountbatten en prins Bertil van Zweden werd een groot monument onthult dat geschonken was door de Zweden. Op het monument staat een replica van het schip de Kalmar Nyckel. Het monument was ontworpen door Carl Milles.
Форт Кристина

Форт Кристина (швед. Fort Kristina; англ. Fort Christina) — первое шведское поселение, основанное в 1638 году в устье рек Кристина и Делавэр в ходе шведской колонизации Америки, в 1638—1655 годах — столица Новой Швеции. Поселение было названо в честь королевы Кристины (1626—1689). Основным населением форта на позднейших этапах его существования были финны из подвластных Швеции финских земель. История Форт был основан в 1638 году Петером Минёйтом для защиты новой колонии. В 1645 и 1655 годах он был укреплён губернаторами Юханом Принцем и Юханом Рисингом. В сентябре 1655 года форт подвергся осаде голландцев. После того, как они установили для его обстрела четыре артиллерийские батареи, Рисинг был вынужден сдаться. Голландцы переименовали форт в форт Алтену. Потерянная шведами Новая Швеция на какое-то время вошла в состав голландских владений в Северной Америке (Новые Нидерланды) со столицей в городе Новый Амстердам (современный Нью-Йорк). В 1664 году она вместе с остальными голландскими владениями была захвачена Англией. В 1681 году форт вошёл в состав современного североамериканского штата Делавэр. В настоящее время форт находится в крупнейшем городе штата — Уилмингтоне. Примечания Ссылки New Netherland Virtual Tour: Fort Christina Delaware History Online: Fort Christina
Air Mobility Command Museum

The Air Mobility Command Museum is a military aviation museum located at Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Delaware, dedicated to the history of the Air Transport Command, Military Air Transport Service, Military Airlift Command and Air Mobility Command. History The origins of the museum lie in an effort that was begun in 1978 by members of the 512th Military Airlift Wing to restore an aircraft as a public relations and maintenance training project. A B-17G, Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby, was selected from a list of potential projects provided by the United States Air Force Museum and it was restored to airworthy condition over a period of ten years. Plans called for the completed airplane to be flown to the USAFM, but a significant desire existed to exhibit the history of Dover Air Force Base. Therefore, at the direction of 436th Military Airlift Wing commander Colonel Walter Kross, planning was begun to establish a permanent historical display. The Dover AFB Historical Center was established on 13 October 1986. Only three days later, a C-47, which had previously been located at Muir Army Airfield in Pennsylvania, was airlifted to the museum. Following official recognition as a museum by the U.S. Air Force in 1995, it became the Dover AFB Museum. This did not last long, as its name was again changed to Air Mobility Command Museum in February 1997, after it moved from three hangars in the main area of the base to its present location, Hangar 1301, in June 1996. An exhibit on the Korean War was opened in 2000. After being forced to close to the public in 2001, the construction of a new access road allowed the museum to reopen in 2003. The museum opened a new exhibit about Air Force Mortuary Affairs in September 2023. Exhibits In addition to the aircraft and non-aircraft collections, the museum has a few other notable attractions. These include a flight simulator, commemoration park outside the museum building, and the retired control tower cab, which served as Dover AFB's control tower from 1956 to 2009. Collection The Air Mobility Command Museum is home to a number of significant vintage aircraft from a variety of eras and major commands. Additionally, the AMC Museum houses a complete set of all significant Lockheed air lifters used by the Air Force and Army since World War II. A number of the aircraft are the first, last or only examples of their model. See also List of United States Air Force museums References Footnotes Notes External links Official website

The expansion brought the total capacity of the institution to 1206. SCI is also home to the nationally recognized substance abuse treatment program called KEY. In an effort to reduce crime and recidivism, Governor Thomas R. Carper and the Department of Correction unveiled the program at SCI on February 10, 1998. SCI's program is called KEY South. The KEY program is an intense, discipline-based therapeutic substance abuse treatment program for 180 offenders at SCI. This program has now been replaced by the "Road to Recovery" (R2R) program, which is a community-based program. Several programs designed to facilitate rehabilitative efforts are in place at SCI. These programs include educational opportunity, vocational training, work assignments, spiritual/religious opportunity and a variety of other classes and programming. References
Нантикок (река)

Нантикок е река, един от най-големите притоци на залива Чесапийк на полуостров Делмарва в Мериленд, САЩ. Тя извира в южната част на окръг Кент, Делауеър, преминава през окръг Съсекс, Делауеър, и образува границата между окръг Дорчестър, Мериленд и окръг Уикомико, Мериленд. Реката тече на югозапад до Тейнджър Саунд на залива Чесапийк. Реката е дълга 103,5 км. Една 26 километрова екотуристическа водна пътека, която минава покрай реката, е създадена през юли 2011 г. от щата Делауеър и федерални служители, за да могат хората да се насладят на 37 мили воден маршрут, който минава през Мериленд до Чесапийкския залив. Някои от основните притоци, които се вливат в Нантикок от западната страна са: Кау Крийк; Джак Крийк; Уопръмандър Крийк; Маршихоуп Крийк, а от източната страна: Трейвли Крийк и Броуд Крийк. Забележителни градове и населени места, разположени по поречието на реката са Нантикок, Вивалв, Виена и Шарптаун в Мериленд; и град Зийфорд в Делауеър. Според исторически записи на град Виена, английския изследовател Джон Смит пътува по Нантикок и я картографира, след което посещава индианско село, което е било на мястото на сегашния Виена. Реката е направена по-дълбока през 1990 г., за да се улесни корабоплаването. Към края на 2012 г. проектът за поредното драгиране на реката е спрян поради финансови причини.

Nanticoke River

The Nanticoke River is a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay on the Delmarva Peninsula. It rises in southern Kent County, Delaware, flows through Sussex County, Delaware, and forms the boundary between Dorchester County, Maryland and Wicomico County, Maryland. The tidal river course proceeds southwest into the Tangier Sound of the Chesapeake Bay. The river is 64.3 miles (103.5 km) long. A 26-mile ecotourism water trail running along the River was set aside in July 2011 by Delaware state and federal officials, contiguous with a 37-mile water-trail extending through Maryland to the Chesapeake Bay. Some of the main tributaries that feed the Nanticoke on the west-side include: Cow Creek; Jack Creek; Wapremander Creek; Marshyhope Creek; and the east side: Gravelly Fork, Gum Branch, and Broad Creek. Notable towns and communities situated along the river include Nanticoke, Bivalve, Vienna, and Sharptown in Maryland; and further north the city of Seaford, Delaware. According to a study paid for by the town of Vienna, the English explorer John Smith travelled up the Nanticoke River and mapped it, and visited with Native Americans in their settlement, now believed to be Vienna. The river was dredged in 1990 and 2013 to facilitate shipping travel along the course. See also List of rivers of Delaware List of rivers of Maryland Notes References

Smyrna High School (Delaware)

Smyrna High School is a 9–12 public high school in Smyrna, Delaware. History The school graduated its first class in 1894. Until the mid-1990s Smyrna was considered a farm community with a small rural school. The school was built in 1970 to accommodate 2,500 students, but the total student body was about 800 in 1976 - having about 250 graduating seniors. The town has experienced a wave of economic expansion since then. The school was accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools in 1931. The school moved to its current campus on Duck Creek Parkway in 1970 with the opening of the new Smyrna High School, having moved from the former John Bassett Moore High School on South Street. The campus underwent a $61 million renovation in 2006. As of 2017, the Smyrna School District had doubled in population, and as a result Smyrna High School had become Delaware's eighth largest high school, with a greatly expanded academic curriculum and facilities. In 2017, the school started a program for students considering a career in education. Athletics Smyrna High School competes in the Henlopen Conference of the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA), with 42 teams in 23 sports. The boys' school athletics program had historically been known mainly for its wrestling program, but Smyrna's population growth brought greater success in football and other sports. A dramatic last-second defensive stop gave Smyrna the 2015 Division 1 state football championship in an upset win over Wilmington's perennial state power Salesianum School; Symrna followed up the next year with state championships in football and boys' basketball. Smyrna also partakes in the Harvest Bowl, a football contest between the Eagles and Middletown High School. The event was cancelled back in 2001 and was resumed back in 2017.

Cubbage Pond

Cubbage Pond (also known as Cabbage Pond) is a reservoir on Cedar Creek in Sussex County, Delaware, United States, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of Lincoln. It is approximately 0.5 miles (0.80 km) long. Cubbage Pond Mill has stood on this site since about 1785, built originally by John and William Draper. Samuel Draper, eldest son of William Draper, inherited it around 1821 and sold it to Lemuel Shockley. John C. Davis owned the mill from 1833 to 1863, then Charles M. Miles was owner from 1866 to 1879. Subsequent owners were John Dubois (owned 1879–1881), Mark H. Davis (owned 1881–1892), Frank Davis (owned 1892–1908). It was last operated by Samuel Cubbage from 1908 to 1917. He died in 1917 and the mill was inherited by his widow Ida. The properties were passed on from Ida Cubbage to W. Edgar Waples. The property passed from W. Edgar Waples to son-in-law Theodore Jones in 1928. In 1930 the property was sold in a Sherriff's sale to Joseph and Nancy Brittingham. In 1951 the Cubbage Pond and the millwrights property were sold to Orville and Susan Wilson. The Wilsons sold the properties to Henry and Mary Cofer in 1954; upon Henry's death in 1968 the property became solely owned by Mary Cofer. Mary Cofer died in 1980 and the property was inherited by her son, Gary Cofer who is the current owner. Use of Cubbage Pond is limited to property owners bordering the pond and those given permission by the current owner. The only regulations are those set forth by the State of Delaware. Fishing from the property along the road is tolerated; but, the local residents generally don't tolerate much noise and littering and are encouraged by the current owner to report any problems they may have to the Delaware State Police and/or the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.
