the Keel was laid there is record of the fact which
We have been able to find The plan Of the shin was
made and approved at Washington, August 49, 1878.
and one book says the building &C September
1878. Although several workmen and others say the
keel was laid with much ceremony, in the presence of
five six infantry companies and large concourse of
people in the fall that after the keel was laid
the work was suspended, and the men employed
most of the year 1918 in building the ship house and
