OLDEST IRONCLAD
\ IN THE WORLD
Wolverine Completing Its Seventy-first
Year in Service for Uncle Sam
On Lake Erie.


Erie, Pa, Aug. 13.-The Wolverine,
formerly the Michigan, the oldest
1ronclad in the world, is completing
here list years service for Uncle
Sam on Lake Erie. The old vessel
was commissioned August IA, 1874 and
since then it has been in active service,
either as a warship or survey ship, Or
as a training ship for the naval re-
, serves of the lake states.
The vessel was built in Pittsburg
and shipped to Erie on wagons. Many
Indian chiefs have been entertained
aboard her and made to see the error
of their ways. During the Civil war
the vessel guarded some TWO thousand
prisoneds on Johnson's Island, in
Lake Erie A plot was discovered at
that time to capture the vessel and
lombard the Lake Erie ports. 1t was
the Michigan, as she was then known,
that stopped the Fenian invasion of
Canada in 1885, by overhauling the
transports carrying reinfOrcementS
outside of Buffalo.
OF type of warship that has long
passed to the junk heap, the VOL
VERNE was the best that could be built.
1t is 1877 feet long, and is pierced for
twelve guns. She carries a battery of
eight breech-loading two-1nch rifles.
During active service it carried a crew
Of SO men, including eleven officers.
The old vessel is still in fair shape
although nearing the three-quarters
Of a century mark, and if necessary,
perhaps, could easily sink anything
af1oat on the lakes. Frequent over
kaulings have kept the machinery and
equipment in repair.

looked in canning is to see that the
