CSS Governor Moore LSNS Governor Moore was a schooner - rigged steamer in the Confederate States Navy . " Governor Moore " had been Southern S . S . Company ' s Charles Morgan , named for the firm ' s founder and built at New York in 1854 as a schooner - rigged , low pressure , walking beam - engined , seagoing steamer . She was seized at New Orleans , Louisiana by Brigadier General Mansfield Lovell , CSA , in mid - January 1862 " for the public service . " As a gunboat , renamed for Louisiana ' s Governor Thomas Overton Moore , her stem was reinforced for ramming by two strips of flat railroad iron at the waterline , strapped and bolted in place , with pine lumber and cotton - bale barricades to protect her boilers , but the " Governor Moore " was never commissioned as a ship in the Confederate States Navy . The larger of two similar cotton - clads owned and operated by the State of Louisiana , " Governor Moore " was commanded for some time by Lieutenant Beverley Kennon , CSN , then serving as Commander in the Louisiana Provisional Navy without pay . She distinguished herself in the battle of 24 April 1862 , when Admiral David Farragut , USN , passed Fort Jackson and Fort St . Philip before dawn en route to capture New Orleans . After a furious exchange of raking fire , " Governor Moore " twice rammed USS " Varuna " , and a third thrust from another cottonclad forced " Varuna " aground . Next attacking USS " Cayuga " , " Governor Moore " exposed herself to fire from most of the Union flotilla . With practically her whole upper hamper shot away and 64 men dead or dying , she went out of command , drifting helplessly to shore , where her captain , pilot , and a seaman set her afire . " Governor Moore " blew up while they and three other survivors were being captured by USS " Oneida " ' s boats to be imprisoned on board USS " Colorado " ; two - thirds of the two dozen or more crew members escaped into the marshes , the rest being captured by other ships ' launches ; no one drowned . " The pennant and remains of the ensign were never hauled down , " wrote Kennon from " Colorado " . " The flames that lit our decks stood faithful sentinels over their halyards until they , like the ship , were entirely consumed . I burned the bodies of the slain . Our colors were shot away three times . I hoisted them myself twice ; finally every stripe was taken out of the flag , leaving a small constellation of four little stars only , which showed to our enemy how bravely we had defended them . " The ship sank with the Louisiana ' s colors flying . ( It is unclear if the flag referred to was the Confederate Stars and Bars or Louisiana State banner of January 1861 ; the " Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships " claims the latter . )

Battle of Niså The Battle of Niså was a naval battle fought on 9 August 1062 between the forces of the Norwegian king Harald Hardrada and the Danish king Sweyn Estridsson . Harald had claimed the Danish throne since 1047 , and had launched raids into Denmark ever since . With his invasion in 1062 , he wanted to decisively defeat the Danes , and thus finally be able to conquer Denmark . The battle was won clearly by the Norwegians , but since many Danes managed to escape , including Sweyn , it proved indecisive in Harald ' s attempt to conquer Denmark . Background . When Harald became the sole king of Norway in 1047 , he also claimed the Danish throne , despite that his predecessor and co - ruler Magnus the Good ( king of Norway and Denmark ) had appointed Sweyn as his successor in Denmark . Since 1048 , Harald launched raids into Denmark almost annually , attempting to force Sweyn out of the country . Although the raids were largely successful , Harald never managed to occupy Denmark . With the invasion in 1062 , he sought to gain a decisive victory over Sweyn . The battle . According to the Icelandic saga writer Snorri Sturluson , the battle had been preassigned a time and place , but Sweyn did not appear as agreed . Harald thus sent home his non - professional ships and soldiers , the " peasant army " ( " bóndaherrin " ) , which had made up around half of his forces . When the ships were out of sight , Sweyn finally appeared and engaged Harald ' s fleet . With his own so - called " drekanum " ship in the middle , Harald tied his ships together in order to prevent gaps in the line . He placed his earl Haakon Ivarsson and his forces from Trøndelag on the flanks . Sweyn used the same tactic , but unlike Harald had his own earl Finn Arnesson placed right next to himself , instead of on the flanks . The battle commenced in the evening , and lasted through the night . The two sides were evenly matched for a long time into the battle , until Haakon disengaged his ships from the flanks and started attacking the weakened Danish ships on the flanks . Sweyn had no similar reserve force , and his fleet was defeated by dawn , with 70 ships left " empty " and the remainder retreating . While Finn fought until he was captured , Sweyn jumped into the water and was rescued by his former ally Haakon ( albeit unknowingly to Harald ) . Haakon was after the battle universally recognized , including by Harald , as the hero of the battle , but when his treachery in rescuing Sweyn was discovered he fell into disfavour ( even though Haakon claimed Sweyn had been in disguise , and that he had not recognized it was him ) . Aftermath . Although Harald won the battle , the victory was not decisive since many Danish ships and men had managed to escape , including Sweyn . Denmark ' s economic and social fabric had been destroyed by the yearly raids , but the lengthy war had also taken its toll in Norway . After the Battle of Niså , Harald had trouble collecting taxes in the Uplands , and probably also in other areas . In 1064 , Harald finally offered Sweyn unconditional peace without reparations or loss of land , and the two kings concluded peace .

Blackburn Velos The Blackburn T . 3 Velos was a 1920s British two - seat coastal defence seaplane built by Blackburn Aeroplane & Motor Company Limited , Brough Aerodrome and the Greek National Aircraft Factory . Design and development . The basic design of the Blackburn Dart was developed into a two - seater to meet a Greek Navy requirement for a coastal defence seaplane . The aircraft became the T . 3 Velos , a twin - float seaplane . The Velos differed from the standard Dart T . 2 in having a two - seat cockpit with a rear - mounted . 303 in ( 7 . 7 mm ) Lewis Gun , an increased weapons load with four 230 lb ( 104 kg ) bombs mounted under the wings and provisions to fly as either a seaplane with floats or with a conventional undercarriage . In 1925 , a small batch of four aircraft were built at Brough Aerodrome for the Greek Navy . Later in the same year , the aircraft was chosen as the first licence - built aircraft in Greece in a factory built by Blackburn and operated under a five - year contract . The Aircraft Factory , later renamed the State Aircraft Factory or Greek National Aircraft Factory , operated in Palaion Faliro to produce 12 Greek - built T . 3A Velos aircraft with a raised rear cockpit to give an improved field of fire for the observer and a larger radiator . The first of the production order flew in March 1926 . Blackburn produced two additional T . 3 models as the T . 3A Velos , initially for trials of the company ' s new metal floats and later , one example embarked on a demonstration and sales tour of South America in 1927 . Despite the sales tour , the T . 3A garnered no orders . Both T . 3As were converted to seaplane trainers and joined four other production aircraft built for the Blackburn Reserve School ( North Sea Aerial and General Transport Co . Ltd ) to replace the company ' s Dart seaplane trainers in providing advanced training . After 1929 , all of the T . 3As were converted back into landplanes and continued in service until replacement by Ripon s and Baffin s in 1933 . Operational service . The Blackburn T . 3 Velos not only fulfilled an operational role as a coastal defence / torpedo bomber in the Naval Air Component Squadrons in Greece , but also helped establish an indigenous aviation industry . The aircraft began operations in 1926 with the Greek Navy deployed at Tatoi Aerodrome and Phaleron Bay , Athens . During operations , the T . 3s delivered steady if not spectacular service . The Velos remained in squadron use until 1934 with all examples retired by 1936 .
