Bath County Pumped Storage Station

Die Bath County Pumped Storage Station ist ein Pumpspeicherkraftwerk im Bath County, im Norden des US-Bundesstaats Virginia. Das Wasserkraftwerk steht am südöstlichen Ende der Eastern Continental Divide, die an dieser Stelle die Grenze zwischen Virginia und West Virginia bildet. Das Kraftwerk besteht aus zwei Speicherbecken, die einen Höhenunterschied von 384 m aufweisen. Das Kraftwerk hatte zunächst eine Generatorleistung von 2772 MW. Im Jahr 2004 wurde die Leistung erhöht; die sechs Generatoren haben jetzt je 510 MW und die Pumpen 480 MW Leistung. Der Betreiber gibt die Gesamtleistung mit 3.003 MW an. Der Bau kostete 1,6 Milliarden Dollar, das entspricht inflationsbereinigt heute 4,7 Milliarden Dollar. Bei den sechs Turbinen handelt es sich um Francis-Turbinen. Die Besitzanteile am Kraftwerk liegen zu 60 % beim Betreiber Dominion Generation und zu 40 % bei Allegheny Power System. Das Kraftwerk ging 1985 in Betrieb und war bis zur Inbetriebnahme zum Jahreswechsel 2021/22 des chinesischen Pumpspeicherkraftwerks Fengning das leistungsfähigste Pumpspeicherkraftwerk der Erde. Es dient – wie alle Pumpspeicherkraftwerke – zum Leistungsausgleich zwischen Zeiten mit niedrigem Energiebedarf und Zeiten mit hohem Energiebedarf. Während des Betriebs schwankt der Wasserspiegel im oberen Becken (107 ha Fläche) um 32 m und im unteren Becken (225 ha Fläche) um 18 m. Im Generatorbetrieb fließen 852 m³/s Wasser durch die Rohre, im Pumpbetrieb 801 m³/s. Der Damm des Unterbeckens ist 41 m hoch und 732 m lang, der des oberen 140 m hoch und 671 m lang. Der untere Damm besteht aus 3,1 Millionen Kubikmetern Schüttmaterial, der obere aus 13,8 Millionen m³. Die natürlichen Zuflüsse zu den Speicherbecken sind der Back Creek und der Little Back Creek.

Moore House (Yorktown, Virginia)

The Moore House is a historic building located within Colonial National Historical Park, in York County, Virginia. During the American Revolutionary War, it was the site of negotiations for British General Charles Cornwallis's surrender at the Siege of Yorktown. History The house was erected around 1725 on a 500-acre parcel of land called Temple Farm which also included a dam and grist mill. The land was originally granted to the Crown Governor of Virginia, John Harvey in the 1630s and was known as the York Plantation at this time. Lawrence Smith II later built the Moore House on Temple Farm and the home stayed within the family until 1754 when his son, Robert, sold it to his brother-in-law Augustine Moore to avoid financial woes. Augustine and his family fled to Richmond to avoid the Siege of Yorktown. Siege of Yorktown General Cornwallis requested a cease fire on October 17, 1781, and selected the house as the site for surrender negotiations, likely due to its neutral and convenient location. Washington's and Cornwallis's representatives met at the house the following day, where they negotiated Articles of Capitulation. A rough draft was delivered to Washington's headquarters that night, where he made minor changes. The revised articles were agreed to and signed on October 19. Later history The House passed to Hugh Nelson in 1797 following the deaths of Augustine and his wife. It had several owners over the years and was significantly damaged during the 1862 Siege of Yorktown. Later the house's wood was pilfered by soldiers for fire fuel. The house was not repaired until the advent of the Battle of Yorktown Centennial Celebration in 1881. The National Park Service restored the house between 1931 and 1934 using historic photos. It was dedicated on 18–19 October 1934. The restoration work was the first of its kind undertaken by the National Park Service.

Sharswood Plantation

Sharswood Plantation, also known as Sharswood Manor Estate, is a historic plantation house in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, about a mile south of the unincorporated community of Mount Airy. Prior to the American Civil War, Sharswood operated as a 2,000-acre tobacco plantation under the ownership of Charles Edwin Miller and Nathaniel Crenshaw Miller. The Gothic Revival house was designed by New York architect Alexander Jackson Davis. The plantation remained in the Miller family until 1917, when it was purchased by the Thompson family. In 2020, the estate was purchased by Frederick Miller, a descendant of people enslaved at Sharswood. History Prior to the American Civil War, Sharswood operated as a 2,000-acre tobacco plantation under the ownership of two brothers, Charles Edwin Miller and Nathaniel Crenshaw Miller. The plantation was built in Virginia, located outside the town of Gretna, between Danville and Lynchburg. A wood-frame structure, likely the original plantation house, was built before 1800. After 1820, the original house was divided into a duplex and used as living quarters for slaves. In the 1850s, a house, designed by New York architect Alexander Jackson Davis, was built in the Gothic Revival style for the Miller family. The house features a steep roof, polygonal chimney stacks, lacy bargeboards with finials, fleur-de-lis crockets, a one-story porch with octagonal columns and tracery, and diamond-paned windows with hood molds. The plantation also contained twelve outbuildings, many of which were slave quarters. In 1860, the ages of those enslaved at Sharswood ranged from one to seventy-two years of age. According to that year's census, thirty-five enslaved people were twelve or older and twenty-three were children. Thirty-one enslaved people at Sharswood were female. After emancipation, ten formerly enslaved people signed labor contracts with Nathaniel Miller to stay on as sharecroppers. In 1917, the plantation was bought by the Thompson family, who owned it for over a century. In 2020, the estate was purchased for $225,000 by Frederick Miller, a retired United States Air Force veteran. Frederick Miller, who is African-American, is the great-great-grandson of Violet and David Miller, who were both enslaved at Sharswood. His great-grandmother, Sarah Miller, was born in 1868 at Sharswood and was recorded as a member of the household in the Slave Birth Index. Miller was unaware of his ancestral connection to Sharswood at the time of his purchase. Miller founded the Sharswood Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports the upkeep and historical preservation of the plantation. In June 2022, the plantation hosted a large Juneteenth celebration with over 1,000 people in attendance. A second Juneteenth celebration was held on June 18, 2023. Sharswood includes the 3,200 square-foot house and a 10.5-acre estate with various small buildings, including an overseer's office and a cabin that previously served as a kitchen, laundry, and slave quarters. There is also a slave cemetery on the Sharswood estate. References
Jamestown (Virginia)

Jamestown o Fuerte de Jamestown fue el primer asentamiento permanente inglés en lo que ahora es Estados Unidos. Fue fundada en el 1607 a orillas del río James sobre una península (hoy la isla Jamestown), en el actual condado de James City de Virginia. Su fundación se produjo tras varios intentos ingleses fallidos previos, incluyendo la perdida Colonia de Roanoke, establecida en 1585 en la isla de Roanoke. La colonización Los navíos Susan Constant, Godspeed y Discovery con 104 hombres y esclavos, habían salido el 16 de diciembre de 1606 desde los muelles de Blackwall en el río Támesis, se detuvieron en las Islas Canarias por agua, llegaron a Martinica el 23 de marzo.​​ Posteriormente llegaron al cabo sur de la bahía de Chesapeake en abril de 1607, fundando Jamestown.​ No permanecieron allí mucho tiempo. Cuando hacían un reconocimiento de la costa, los indígenas se presentaron y los persiguieron hasta que regresaron a las naves. Pero el cartógrafo Richard Hakluyt les había dado instrucciones de dónde convenía que establecieran su colonia, y el 14 de mayo ya tenían elegido un sitio, casi 100 km tierra adentro, junto al recién bautizado río James, donde construyeron el fuerte de Jamestown en menos de un mes. Su ubicación sobre una pequeña península y su forma triangular protegía a los colonos de la amenaza de los barcos y ataques españoles y de los indígenas de Powhatan. El 26 de mayo del mismo año, los indígenas que habitaban las zonas exteriores a la isla, los paspahegh atacaron a los colonos, matando a una persona e hiriendo a otras once. En el invierno de 1608 se produjo un incendio en la bodega de alimentos; por otra parte, se construyó una capilla y un almacén. El siguiente invierno, una hambruna mató a 200 personas sobreviviendo solo 60 colonos. Hasta 1610 el 80% de los colonos de Jamestown mueren, produciéndose casos de canibalismo entre los miembros de la colonia inglesa, como el caso de una niña de 14 años analizada en el Museo Nacional de Historia Natural del Instituto Smithsonian.​ En 1622, en la conocida como masacre indígena de 1622, los colonos fueron atacados por los indígenas powhatan muriendo alrededor de 400 en la batalla. Posteriormente el fuerte de Jamestown fue abandonado para establecer el pueblo. En 1994 un grupo de arqueólogos descubrió el sitio donde se ubicaba el fuerte de Jamestown. Durante años se pensó que el río se había llevado el fuerte. Situación geográfica Altitud: 1 metro sobre el nivel del mar. Véase también Colonia de Plymouth Referencias
Richlands Mall

Richlands Mall is a shopping mall located in Tazewell County, Virginia. The mall is anchored by Grant's Supermarket and Roses. History Richlands Mall was announced in 1979 by Atlanta-based group GG Industries inc. Operating under a subsidiary known as Tazewell Associates, they would develop the shopping center, which was to be the first air conditioned mall in the region. The mall was to be roughly 162,000 square feet, and feature a supermarket, a drug store, a restaurant, and 35,000 square feet of other interior tenant space. In addition, a garment facility would occupy over 20,000 square feet of space at the mall. It was estimated that the mall would employ about 350 people, and generate $20 million in sales. The mall was retrofitted from an old textile mill known as the Eastern Isles Manufacturing Plant, which was located on Front Street across from the Clinch Valley community hospital. The property would be completed, and opened to the public in October 1980. Roses, Kroger and Eckerd Drug anchored the mall, with interior tenants Sidney's, Pic' N Pay, Western Steer Restaurant, Twin Cinema and Baskin Robbins present at opening, among others. In 1987, both of the Eckerd Drug locations in the area, including the one in Richlands Mall, were rebranded as SupeRx drug stores. 1990s In January 1991, a new restaurant would open at the mall, named 'The Fig Tree.' Their menu consisted of a variety of foods, from Mexican cuisine, to steaks, shrimp and more. The Fig Tree was named because of the twisted fig trees located throughout the mall during the time. The SupeRx Drug Store inside the mall would become Revco drug in 1994. Then, in September 1998, Revco drug would become CVS Pharmacy, announced by public notice in the newspaper. 2000s It was announced at the beginning of March 2000 that Kroger would close its doors on March 24 of the same year, citing underperformance.

USS Wisconsin (BB-64)

USS Wisconsin (BB-64) byla bitevní loď amerického námořnictva, postavená během druhé světové války a sloužící až do doby války v Perském zálivu. Je to čtvrtá postavená jednotka třídy Iowa. Stavba Kýl lodi byl založen 20. ledna 1941 v loděnici Navy Yard ve Filadelfii. Trup byl spuštěn na vodu 7. prosince 1943. Do služby se loď dostala 16. dubna 1944 a ihned se zapojila do válečných operací. Druhá světová válka V zimě roku 1944 se USS Wisconsin a USS Missouri připojily ke svým sesterským lodím USS Iowa a USS New Jersey, aby společně ostřelovaly japonské průmyslové komplexy na pobřeží ostrova Kjúšú. Perský Záliv Wisconsin a Missouri se zúčastnily války v Perském zálivu. Ve dnech 16. a 17. ledna 1991 zahájily ostřelování nitra území obsazeného iráckými vojsky raketami s plochou dráhou letu Tomahawk. Dne 24. února 1991 začal Wisconsin ostřelovat postavení irácké armády a svojí palbou podporoval útok námořní pěchoty na Kuwait City. Definitivní vyřazení Po návratu od Arabského poloostrova byl do rezervy přesunut i Wisconsin, stalo se tak 3. září 1991. Poté byl Wisconsin celá 90. léta zakotven na námořní základně v Bremertonu. Nakonec byl i Wisconsin uvolněn pro muzejní účely a od 7. prosince kotví v Norfolku ve Virginii. Zde je součástí instituce Hampton Roads Naval Museum.

USS Wisconsin (BB-64)

L’USS Wisconsin (BB-64) (« Wisky ») est un cuirassé de classe Iowa de l'United States Navy qui participa à la Seconde Guerre mondiale sur le théâtre Pacifique. Historique Il fut frappé comme beaucoup d'autres navires de la Troisième flotte des États-Unis par le typhon Cobra et perdit ses trois hydravions en cette occasion. Après la fin du conflit mondial, il participa à la guerre de Corée et, le 15 mars 1952, reçoit son premier coup direct de son histoire lorsqu'un des quatre obus tirés par une batterie de canons nord-coréenne de 152 mm frappe le bouclier d'un support d'un canon 40 mm à tribord faisant trois blessés. Le Wisconsin détruit ensuite la batterie avec une salve complète de 16 pouces avant de poursuivre sa mission. Après avoir été réarmé et modernisé en 1987 — dans le cadre du programme lancé sous la présidence Reagan de la marine de 600 navires — en 1987 au chantier naval Ingalls de Pascagoula (ajout de lanceurs de missiles AGM-84 Harpoon, BGM-109 Tomahawk et de quatre Phalanx CIWS), à l'opération Desert Storm (Tempête du désert) en 1991 lors de la guerre du Golfe. Il est retiré du service en septembre 1991. En 1992, il est transformé en navire musée au Nauticus (Centre maritime national) à Norfolk en Virginie. Il est radié des listes du Naval Vessel Register le 17 mars 2006. Récompenses Le Wisconsin s'est vu décerner de nombreuses distinctions au cours de ses années de service.

USS Wisconsin (1944)

USS Wisconsin (BB-64) (bijgenaamd Wisky of WisKy) is een Amerikaans slagschip van de Iowaklasse. Het is het tweede schip van de United States Navy dat is vernoemd naar de Amerikaanse staat Wisconsin. Bouw Ze werd gebouwd door de Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia en op 7 december 1943 te water gelaten. De Wisconsin is een schip van de Iowaklasse en net als alle schepen van die klasse 270,4 meter lang, 33,0 meter breed en 8,8 meter diep. Door deze afmetingen past het schip net door het toenmalige, in 2016 verbrede Panamakanaal (Panamax) en kan ze snel wisselen tussen de Atlantische en Stille Oceaan. Het schip heeft een gemiddeld deplacement van 45.000 ton, met een maximum van 58.000 ton bij volle belading. De voortstuwing geschiedt door vier schroeven, die op hun beurt worden aangedreven door stoomturbines met een gezamenlijk vermogen van 158 megawatt (MW). Hierdoor behaalt het schip een snelheid van 33 knopen, waarmee het de snelste slagschepen zijn. Het hoofdgeschut bestaat uit negen kanonnen van 16 inch (406 mm): twee geschuttorens van drie kanonnen op het voordek en één geschuttoren op het achterdek. Ze konden de granaten 40 kilometer ver schieten. Tevens bezit het schip 20 kleinere kanonnen van 5 inch (127 mm), die her en der over het dek verspreid staan, en in totaal 129 stuks luchtafweergeschut van 40 en 20 millimeter. Bij de herindiensttreding in 1986 waren deze laatste twee verwijderd en vervangen door een Phalanx-CIWS tegen luchtdoelen en Armored Box Launchers om Tomahawks en Harpoons mee af te vuren. Inzet Tijdens haar dienst is Wisconsin ingezet in de Tweede Wereldoorlog in Azië en de Koreaanse Oorlog. Na 30 jaar uit dienst te zijn geweest, werd ze opnieuw in dienst gesteld op 1 augustus 1986, waarna ze gemoderniseerd werd en nog heeft meegevochten in Operatie Desert Storm in januari en februari 1991. In datzelfde jaar werd ze definitief uit dienst gesteld om nog tot 2006 in de reservevloot opgenomen te blijven. Uiteindelijk werd het slagschip in 2009 een museumschip in Norfolk. In de meer dan 47 jaar tussen in- en uitdienststelling was het schip 14 jaar in actieve dienst, waarbij ze zes battle stars en een Navy Unit Commendation verdiende voor haar inzet in respectievelijk de Tweede Wereldoorlog en Korea en de Golfoorlog.
