remains OF the frigate Richmond.
once the pride ofssthss United states
navy. The famous wooden warship
built in 1858. was used during three
wars In capacities varying from ad-
miral's flag ship to receiving ship and
finally was burned for the copper In
her hull.
The Richmond was Admiral Farra-
CUTS flagship during the civil war
and was in several famous engage
ments in Southern waters and along
the Mississippi river. It 10 said that
the Richmond was one OF the
first American ships to be camou-
flaged. During the bonn. ,rdment OF
New Orleans Farragut ordered the
man-o'-war camouflaged and not
having the necessary paint, the fri
gate was smeared with mud, partly
obscuring her from the enemy's
view.
A few years later the Richmond
was retired but was put in commits
sion again in 1898 for the Spanish
American war. when she was used as
a receiving ship at the Philadelphia
navy yard. Then for almost twenty
years she was held idle at the Nor
folk navy yard but was put into use
again in the world war as q receiving
and training ship.
The once great warship's days Of
usefulness were over and short
time ago she was towed to Eastport.
The torch was applied to her by
Captain John F. Turner. of Newbury-
port, Mass, holder Of the worlds
deep sea diving record. After light
ing several fires from bow to stern
Captain Turner hauled down the AM
erican flag from the frigate and
jumped into Passamaquoddy Bay. He
was picked up by part of the ships
crew in a dory for the noted diver

The beach on which the Richmond
was burned is the most eastern point
on the Maine coast and is where four
other wooden frigates, the Franklin.
Minnesota, Wabash and Vermont.
were burned by junkmen in other
years.
