that. the ships are to be sold ''as hulks

Columbia. built in 1892; destroyer
Smith. built in 1909, and the fishboat
Albert Brown, built in 1897, are first
to be offered for sale ''for conversion to
commercial uses" but if not sold for
that purpose will be offered at later
date for sale as hnlks for salvage"
Three of the ..hulks' we're ships we
looked on with pride as being the last
word" in naval architecture and fight
ing efficiency. They are the battle
ship Maine, built, in IDOL; sbattleship
Missouri, built in 1901; and battle
ship Wisconsin. built in 1898. An
other of the "hulks' is the cruiser
Memphis. built in 1908. 504 feet long,

ment and now wreck at Santo Do

6,000-plus tons displacement, built in
1882; the Ozark, built in 1900; the
Tonopah, built in 1900, and the Milan
tonomoh.
The Miantonomoh is the eldest Of
the monitors offered. having been built
in 1876 and converted not long ago
into target for great gun and air
plane fire. There IL sentimental
attachment between Washington and
the old Miantonomoh. For years,
back in the late 70s and the SOS she lay
in the eastern branch. off the navy
ward. She was known to thousands Of
Washington people as all object Of
interest. She had hard name, and
many East Washington boys when
they learned to pronounce and spell It |
had achieved triumph in scholarship |
Near the Miantonomoh was the older |
and more celebrated monitor Montauk. |
That was in the DAYS when the black
hull sidewheeler Tallapoosa was |
frequent visitor at the Navy yard and |
served as the Presidential yacht. and |
'siunkets ship before the coming OF the
white -hulled propeller Dolphin. The
Miantonomoh now lies at Norfolk. and !
many Washingtonians will be touched /
with little Thought Of sadness on I
hearing that the old craft is to be re-
duced to junk.
One Of the ships to be broken UP is
the wooden sailing vessel 0riole. Her
launch name. or champagne name, was
Dale. She was built in 1889. and after
seeing all the seas and most of the
ports Of the world and doing homer in
several wars to the flag she flew, was
retired from sea duty and was held
up at our navy yard. Here she spent
many quiet years in the autumn of her
life as receiving ship. Washington
