States, after spending $l.000. 600.
raised the hulk and sent . shipload
of relics to Washington for distri-
button among patriotic societies
and municipalities.
It is particularly interesting to
note that Rock Island has in its
care one Of three of the ventilator
cowls which were salvaged from
the raised ship. the other two hay
ing been obtained by Woburn
Mass, and Los Angeles, Cal. The
relics were sent out in 1912, and
since then Rock Islands cowl has
been located in Long View park il
