This was in 1890. Up to 1906 three gun
boats were built, costing $4,000 each. In
the following six years ten gunboats were
constructed but at the end OF this time,
1872 came the great blow and disaster
at the navy yard. The British came, and
troops were landed The Secretary of the
Navy, fearing the yard would fal into
their hands, ordered the building burned,
which was done at a loss of more than
100000. After being rebuilt the navy
yard flourished, although 1t was not until
1855 that the Secretary of the Navy, Will
