| The effort now being made to secure by
the aid of the general government the estab-
| hShment of the marine school at Charleston
| recalls the old Charleston schoolship, which,
Al the breaking out of the war, was one of
! the institutions, and one of the most useful
Institutions of the city. The moving spirit
| in the establishment OF the marine school
was the late Rev. w. B. Yates, who spent
| a long life in the service of the sailors. In
March, 1856, Mr.. Yates suggested to the
| Pc t Society the importance of establishing
| such a school, and recommended that the
matter be brought to the attention of the
| Legislature The committee was at
, once appointed and the State
| legislature was memoralized for an APP
preparation and voted the sum of 5000.
| The City Council appropriated 81 200, while
! from private contributions and other
sources more than $4,000 additional was
raised, making nearly $1,000 in all. In
| 1889 the brig l. )debar, OF 1919 tons, was pur-
chased and fitted up for the purpose. Capt.
| NJ l.. Amar was elected to command the
vessel, with Mr.. Il. h. A. Brown as mate and
| Mr. William Wallis As English teocher. GA
! the 29th of May, 1859, amid the cheers OF
admiring crowds on the wharves the statutes
| of the vessels in the harbor and the re-
! spuuSive cheers of the sailor boys, the Lode
| bar was tOwed from the custom house wharf
! up the Cooper river aud back TO South Bat
| terry, and thence to her anchorage in the
stream, and thus was established the first
! floating marine school of this country, if
not OF the world.
