There was opposition in the navy to
building vessel in these days of steam
to be wholly dependent upon her sails, but
Admiral McNair, superintendent of the
naval academy, and most of the other
famous old sea dogs of the service, sup
ported the proposition and emphatically
recorded their conviction that a sailor
could never amount to anything unless
taught in a school where he would be con-
stantly thrswn upon the resources of sea-
manship and nautical skill pure and sim
pie.
For this reason the official test of the
chesapeake was watched by the service
with extraordinary curiosity. 1t was a
supreme experiment at this time of the
year when storms often make the New
England coast exceedingly dangerous for
new ships to put to sea never before I'M
der sail, and manned by comparativeIy
green crew. Yet this was the hazard
accepted by Commander Emory, one of
the typical sailors of the line, whose
voyages on the Thetis and other ships
years ago gave him fame. AS chairman
OF the subinspecion board he was desig-
mated to find the sailing qualities of the
ships. while two other members Of the
board, Constructor Cops and Chief En-
gineer Henderson, went along to exam
Inc the hull and equipmen, and the me-
chanical contrivances of the novel craft
rum the Itpoit Oh LnlS board, which
has just been delivered TO the secretary
of the navy, it appears that the board
met at Boston December IS and boarded
the Chesapeake in Nan;asket roads.
There was heavy fog. with light airs
from the northward and eastward, pres
aging bad weather. but the test of the
ship was entirely satisfactory. The board
reports:
"She was Unanswered by lacking and
wearing. Her steady heel under topsails
by the wind was to 10 degrees, and in
squalls the heel increased to 16 degrees.
The leeway in fresh breezes was from
one-eighth to one-half point when full
and by. Taking into consideration the
fact that the personnel of this vessel
came aboard on December I3. the board
was impressed with the good condition
of the vessel for sea and also with the
excellent crew and the spirited way in
which they worked the ship"
In its conclusions the board found no
weaknesses or defects, except In minor
matters, readily remedied. and that the
stability. seaworthiness and seagoing
qualities were satisfactory. The Chesa-
peake will be sent to Annapolis before
the end of February. and next May the
naval cadets will satl her to Bar Harbor
