Bruno Mauricio de Zabala Bruno Mauricio de Zabala ( 1682 – 1736 ) was a Spanish soldier and colonial administrator . He was born in the slum of Zabala ( then located outside the walls of Durango , but now a part of the town ) in the province of Biscay . The house of his birth has been preserved to this day , and one of its walls bears two plaques commemorating his exploits in the new world . In 1717 , Zabala was named " capitán general " of the Río de la Plata , where he suppressed piracy and confronted the Portuguese , who sought to claim the River Plate for themselves . In 1726 , to contend with these rivals , Zabala constructed a fortress . This settlement , which would evolve into the city of Montevideo , became the center of Spanish control over the " Banda Oriental " , and later the capital of Uruguay .
USS Napa ( 1864 ) USS " Napa " was a " Casco " class twin - screw light draft monitor built during the American Civil War for operation in the shallow inland waters of the Confederacy . These warships sacrificed armor plate for a shallow draft and were fitted with a ballast compartment designed to lower them in the water during battle . Construction . The single - turreted " Napa " was built by the Harlan & Hollingsworth Co . , Wilmington , DE , and launched 26 November 1864 . Though the original designs for the " Casco " - class monitors were drawn by John Ericsson , the final revision was created by Chief Engineer Alban B . Stimers following Rear Admiral Samuel F . Du Pont ' s failed bombardment of Fort Sumter in 1863 . By the time that the plans were put before the Monitor Board in New York City , Ericsson and Stimers had a poor relationship , and Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair John Lenthall had little connection to the board . This resulted in the plans being approved and 20 vessels ordered without serious scrutiny of the new design . $ 14 million US was allocated for the construction of these vessels . It was discovered that Stimers had failed to compensate for the armor his revisions added to the original plan and this resulted in excessive stress on the wooden hull frames and a freeboard of only . Stimers was removed from the control of the project and Ericsson was called in to undo the damage . He was forced to raise the hulls of the monitors under construction by nearly two feet and the first few completed vessels had their turrets removed and a single pivot - mount 11 inch Dahlgren cannon mounted . These same few vessels had a retractable spar torpedo added as well . Torpedo vessel conversion . As a result , " Napa " was converted to a torpedo vessel , 25 June 1864 and turned over to the government upon her completion 4 May 1865 . Never commissioned , she was laid up at League Island , PA , until 1875 when she was broken up by John Roach at New York . While at League Island , her name was changed twice : to Nemesis , 15 June 1869 ; and back to " Napa " , 10 August 1869 .
Trosky Castle Trosky Castle ( ) is a castle ruin located some 10 km south of Semily , Liberec Region , Czech Republic . It is one of the most famous Czech castles and is situated on the summits of two basalt volcanic plug s . On the lower peak ( 47 m ) is the two - storey structure called " Baba " ( Old Woman ) , and on the higher outcrop ( 57 m ) is the four - sided structure known as " Panna " ( Virgin ) . The castle is a landmark in the countryside known as Český ráj ( Bohemian Paradise ) . History . The castle was established by Čeněk of Vartenberk in the second half of the 14th century . Two towers were constructed , one on top of each rock , and various residential buildings and outhouses erected between them . Three rings of fortified walls protected the complex . After Čeněk ' s death the castle came into the possession of King Wenceslas IV , from whom it was acquired by Ota of Begov , of the Bergov dynasty . Though Ota the Younger of Trosk was a zelous Catholic , it did not stop him raiding the monastery in Opatovice and stealing its famous treasure , which he is said to have hidden in Trosky Castle , supposedly in an underground cellar blocked by a huge boulder . No one could move the boulder , which was eventually covered by scree , permanently cutting off the way to the precious objects . During the Hussite wars Trosky was a center of the pro - Catholic sides . It is therefore not surprising that in all probability the castle was never completely conquered by the Hussites or any other enemies . As late as 1428 , shortly after the castle burned down , it was under siege by Jan Kralovec , captain of the Táborite Army . From 1438 onwards the robber knight Kryštov Šov of Helfenburg and his companion Švejkar settled in it to tyrannize the villagers in the surrounding countryside , before the people of Zhořelec and Žitavy ( English Gorlitz and Zittau , members of the Lusatian League ) banded together to capture them . Margareth of Bergov , the widow of the original owner Ota of Bergov , made Trosky into her residence by 1444 . In 1468 the castle was property of William of Hasenburg who kept it until 1497 . After that several noble families owned the castle , although its significance declined . In 1648 , during the Thirty Years ' War , it was burned down completely by the Imperial Army and left in ruins . In 1681 the enlightened Jesuit Bohuslav Balbín visited it ; possibly the first documented example of a trip , the sole purpose of which was to research a historical sight or area . In the 19th century a greater degree of interest was shown and romantic modifications were made to the ruins of the castle . It was decided to create a staircase leading to the Panna tower . Work was begun in 1841 - 43 , but was not completed .
