Shipbuilding began on the site on the south bank of the River Blyth in 1811 . In the 1840s the yard was purchased by Beaumont and Drummond . In 1863 the yard was taken over by Hodgson and Soulsby who repaired and built small wooden sailing ships . In 1880 the first two iron ships were built at Blyth for the Russian Government . Foundation . On 2 March 1883 the Blyth Shipbuilding & Dry Docks Company Ltd . was registered as a limited liability company . It built cargo liners , tramp steamers and colliers . The fifth ship built at the yard was for the shipping company Stephens and Mawson of Newcastle . Daniel Stephens eventually became a Director , and then the Chairman of the company . World War I . In 1914 a cargo ship under construction was purchased by the Admiralty and converted into the Navy ' s first seaplane carrier . During the war the company completed nine tramps and colliers , along with ten X - lighter landing craft and six sloops for the Royal Navy ; these were the " Arabis " class minesweeper , the " Aubretia " class convoy escorts and , the Anchusa class convoy escort and the 24 - class fleet minesweepers and . Post - war slump and closure . Post - war the company returned to the civilian market building steamers and colliers . However , after Daniel Stephens death on 19 March 1925 , and the collapse of the freight market , the yard was closed . In November 1926 Robert Stanley Dalgleish , a Newcastle shipowner , purchased the yard , and changed its name to the Cowpen Dry Docks and Shipbuilding Company . The yard was later amalgamated with Ritson ' s Shipbuilding and Engineering Company . After completing a number of ships , the yard closed again in 1930 . Reopening and World War II . In mid - 1937 the yard was reopened under its original name . During World War II the Blyth company built five and two s , seven s , as well as two s and ten s . The former German cargo ship " Hannover " was also converted into the escort carrier . Decline and final closure . By 1947 the company was owned by Mollers ( Hong Kong ) Ltd . It had four berths and five dry docks . Turbine - driven cargo - liners were built for Moller ' s subsidiary the Lancashire Shipping Company . In 1949 eleven tankers were built for a number of different companies . In 1954 the main berth of the yard was extended to 550 feet in order to build larger tankers and ore carriers . In 1961 four coastal steamers were completed for Stephenson Clarke , along with another for William Cory and Son . Unfortunately rising costs and falling orders meant that , after losing money for five years , the yard was finally closed in 1967 . Repair work and shipbreaking was then carried out by various companies on the site .

Savage ' s Station , Virginia Savage ' s Station was the wartime name of a supply depot , ammunition dump , field hospital , and command headquarters of the Army of the Potomac during the Peninsula Campaign of the American Civil War . Savage ' s Station was located in Henrico County , Virginia on what was the Richmond and York River Railroad , however the historical department of the Norfolk Southern Railroad , the railroad track ' s current owner , has no record that an actual train station or station house ever existed on the property . A farmhouse is known to have been located in a copse of trees on a small knoll next to the railroad track and is visible in several period drawings and photographs made during the war . The house served as the nucleus of a large field hospital during and after the battle of Seven Pines and the Seven Days Battles . The house also functioned as General George B . McClellan ' s headquarters during the battle of Savage ' s Station on June 29 , 1862 . Although the house survived the battle in 1862 , it was burned by Federal cavalry under General Philip H . Sheridan in 1864 . The house appears to have never been rebuilt , and no trace of it remains today . However , a smokehouse from the 19th century still existed on the property as late as the 1930s when it was photographed during a survey of local historical structures as a project of the Civilian Conservation Corps . The smokehouse fell into ruin and collapsed sometime prior to the 1980s . A small brick - walled cemetery from the 18th century still sits near the former location of the house not far from the railroad track . Today the battlefield of Savage ' s Station is considered " lost " by preservationists , the area of heaviest infantry fighting being covered by the nearby cloverleaf interchange of interstate highways I - 295 and I - 64 . However the land that comprised Savage Station itself , i . e . , the Union field hospital , supply depot , ammunition dump and rear areas of the Federal battleline , remains in a remarkably pristine condition , the nearby interchange barely noticeable during seasons when the foliage is in full bloom . In the late 1980s , a last - ditch effort by local residents attempted to preserve the rolling farmland from being rezoned for commercial uses , but their desires were overruled by the Henrico Country Board of Commissioners . A developer had proposed to build a large truckstop and cargo transfer station on the property , but the close proximity of the interchange would have made reasonable and safe ingress and egress to the property difficult . Such a use would have also clashed with the bucolic residential neighborhoods in the surrounding area . As such , to this day the land remains undeveloped , and is now under lease for agricultural purposes , however the property is currently owned by a prominent Richmond area real estate holding company and is listed for sale .

It was one of thirty - two Air Service training camps established after the United States entry into World War I in April 1917 . After the United States ' entry into World War I in April 1917 , General John J . " Blackjack " Pershing invited the British Royal Flying Corps to establish training fields in Texas for the training of American and Canadians volunteers because of its mild weather . After looking at sites in Dallas , Fort Worth , Waco , Austin , Wichita Falls and Midland , three sites were established in 1917 in the Fort Worth vicinity ( known as the " Flying Triangle . " ) , those being Hicks Field ( # 1 ) , Barron Field ( # 2 ) , and Benbrook Field ( # 3 ) . Canadians named the training complex Camp Taliaferro after Walter Taliaferro , a US aviator who had been killed in an accident .

Battle of Katzbach The Battle of Katzbach on 26 August 1813 , was an accidental engagement of the Napoleonic Wars between the forces of the First French Empire under Marshal MacDonald and a Russo - Prussian army of the Sixth Coalition under Prussian Marshal Graf ( Count ) von Blücher . It occurred during a heavy thunderstorm at the Katzbach river ( after y . 1945 polish Kaczawa ) between Wahlstatt and Liegnitz in the Prussian province of Silesia . Taking place the same day as the Battle of Dresden , it resulted in a French defeat . Battle . The two armies , roughly equal in size , stumbled upon one another , taking both by surprise . In the midst of the confusion and heavy rain , MacDonald seemed to recover first . Although his orders were to defend the flank of Napoleon ' s main force from Blücher , MacDonald decided to attack . He dispatched two - thirds of his army , about 60 , 000 men , in an attempt to flank the Russo - Prussian right . But confusion reigned again as the French columns found themselves too far apart to support one another . The attack lost momentum . Meanwhile , the remaining 30 , 000 men of MacDonald ' s force , who were supposed to hold down the Coalition forces , were met by a heavy counter - attack . Without support or reinforcement , the French were soon forced to withdraw , taking heavy losses . MacDonald ' s casualties numbered 15 , 000 killed , wounded or captured , Blücher ' s some 4 , 000 . Beyond the battle losses , the French strategic position had been weakened . This , coupled with the defeats at Kulm , four days later , and Dennewitz on 6 September , would more than negate Napoleon ' s victory at Dresden . Because of his victory , Blücher received the title of " Prince of Wahlstatt " on 3 June 1814 . In Germany there used to be a now obsolete saying " Der geht ran wie Blücher an der Katzbach ! " ( " He goes forward like Blücher at Katzbach ! " ) , referring to Blücher and describing a vigorous behavior .
