Famous Old Naval Vessels
Proposed for Museum Here
President Outlines Plan to Use Historic
Ships in Connection With New Building

Further details of the plans for
the proposed naval museum here
were disclosed by President Roose-
welt last night when he revealed
that several famous old ships will
be restored and moored alongside
the projected new Navy Depart
ment Building here to preserve a
birds eye view of American naval
history from its beginning.
The plans were disclosed by the
President before he left Charleston,
S. c., last night for his return to
the Capital.
He said the ships to be brought
here will include the historic Con-
stellation, built at the same time as
the famous frigate Constitution
and which figured in the undeclared
war with France in 1888 and the
war on Barbary pirates and the war
OF 1872; the Hartford. Admiral Far
raguts flagship in the Civil War
battle of Mobile Bay; the Olympia,
Admiral Dewey's flagship at Manila
and World War vessel yet to be
selected.
There also is a possibility of
bringing here from Boston the Con-
stitution, the historic "Old Iron
sides itself. famous as the most
successful frigate that ever sailed
the seas under any country's flag.
All Would Be Restored.
All the vessels would be restored
as nearly as possible to their origi-
nal condition, with uniforms worn
by the sailors who manned them
and swords, cutlasses, cannon and
other weapons of the period pre-
served for inspection of tourists.
The various parts of each ship
would be marked carefully and
naval officers would be aboard to
explain their significance in Amer
ican naval history to the thousands
OF school children and other tourists
who flock to Washington each year
Carrying out of the plans ap-
parently depends on construction of
new building beside the Potomac
River for the Navy Department
Nothing definite has been done 50
far about the new building. Secre-
tary Swanson has said that he could
work in an attic" any time and
preferred that all money available
Immediately be put into battleships
and other armaments in building up
the national defense.
Piers Are Planned.
1t is uncertain when Congress may
be asked to appropriate money for
the new building, which eventually
will be necessary, or just where it
may be built. Tentative plans now
call for it's construction some four
or five blocks from the present Navy
buildings on Constitution avenue
somewhere near Key Bridge.
Under the tentative plans, the new
Navy Building would be near the
river bank and piers would be built
out into the river for mooring of

Never!
At least. that was the opinion of

The epicures. headed by Names
