The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) asked the Boat School to build three traditionally-built Whitehalls as replicas of the boats used by John Wesley Powell and his group of explorers during their first-ever descent of the Colorado River in 1869. The BBC will film a reenactment of the voyage later in 2013.
Students at the School are building one 16-foot Whitehall, the "Scout Boat", and two 21-foot Whitehalls. Though Powell launched four Whitehalls onto the river in 1869, one, the 21-foot "No Name", was lost to the river shortly after the descent began.
The white oak from which the boats are constructed was supplied by Newport Nautical Timbers www.newportnauticaltimbers.com/ . The 16-foot boat will be planked in larch from eastern Washington, which is as close as it is possible to come to the original white pine planking used on that boat.
Whitehalls are the iconic American pulling boat.
They emerged in New York City and, possibly, shortly thereafter in Boston in the 1830's. It is thought the name derives from Whitehall Street in New York City, though no one is sure. By the mid-19th century, they could be found anywhere there was a sizeable body of water - the East Coast, the Great Lakes, and the Pacific Coast at San Francisco all boasted boatbuilders turning out Whitehalls.
The boats were usually used under oars and occasionally sail as fast harbor ferries and the boat used to take harbor pilots out to meet inbound sailing ships. They have a fine reputation as fast, easy-rowing vessels that are capable of carrying a great deal of weight.
Nearly all Whitehalls were carvel-built with white cedar planking on an oak backbone with oak frames. (Carvel planking means that the planks butted up against each other, edge to edge, which results in a smooth hull). The finer boats were highlighted with a bright sheer plank (the top plank) varnished to catch one's eye.
There is surprisingly little known about the boats used by the 1869 Powell Expedition, the first to descend the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. We do know that the Powell Expedition boats were built in Chicago IL to Powell's specifications.
It's known that the EMMA DEAN, or the "Scout Boat" as Powell called it was 16 feet long and planked in white pine, that the other boats (MAID OF THE CANON, KITTY CLYDE's SISTER and NO NAME) were 21 feet long and planked in white oak with twice the number of frames and doubled stems and stern posts. (NO NAME was lost to the river shortly after Powell began the descent, though her crew survived).
There are no complete descriptions of the boats themselves, no pictures, and only a few scattered references made to the boats in the surviving journals and records of the Expedition.
The three boats we are building for the BBC are being constructed to the best information available, using the general scantlings provided by John Gardner's historical work, extent plans, our significant experience in building Whitehalls over our 32 years, and the historical data available to us.
The boats will be completed by mid-July, 2013.

5016g) Dorothy Ashby - 1965 Event Program for the Afro-American Broadcasting Company Awards Night Presentation held on February 14, 1965 at the Ford Auditorium in Detroit, Michigan. At that event the Dorothy Ashby Trio performed jazz music and El Hadj Malik Shabazz (aka the famous historical African-American figure widely known as Malcolm X) gave his last major speech before being assassinated exactly one week later on Feb 21, 1965.- Front Cover
This is an original issue 1965 event program booklet that was published to commemorate an event on February 14, 1965 at which Malcolm X gave his last major message just 7 days before his assassination on February 21, 1965. This event happened on the very same day that Malcolm X (or El Hajj Malik El Shabazz as was his preferred name at this time) had his Queens, New York home firebombed. Because of the damage his home suffered that night, he was not wearing his customary coat and tie because most of his clothes had been destroyed.
The "Afro American Broadcasting Company" was an African American organization that was formed in 1964 primarily to produce over the air radio programs that "met with African-American approval as spiritually free Black people". The organization began in 1964 to produce and distribute its own radio programs about the African American experience for radio stations throughout the Northeastern United States. The organization was formed in response to widespread dissatisfaction in the African American community with the content and character of radio programs produced about African Americans on "white radio stations". The purpose of the event held that Valentine's Day in 1965 was to raise money by selling tickets to the event itself. The money was to be used to provide scholarships to Afro American youth to enter the field then known as "mass communications". Malcolm X was particularly interested in supporting the African American media at this time because he recognized the importance of his speeches being accurately reported to the public by the mass media. Malcolm X's concern for accurate reporting of his views would explain his supporting this organization.
The event at which Malcolm X spoke that night was actually an awards event called the "First Annual Dignity Projection and Scholarships Award Night" sponsored by the Afro American Broadcasting Company. The event was complete with live music and famous persons being honored for their achievements including African-Americans such as Rosa Parks, Sidney Poitier, and Marion Anderson. The Dorothy Ashby Trio was part of the entertainment for this event. Malcolm X was the scheduled keynote speaker and he was the final speaker for that evening.
What was not commonly known is that the FBI, was very active in monitoring aka spying on the life of Malcolm X as well as others active in the civil rights movement. The FBI was concerned enough about the impact that this particular event in Detroit, Michigan might have. In fact the FBI was so concerned about this event that the FBI instituted what Malcolm X described later in his speech that night as a “Blackout” In this case a “blackout” meant that the FBI instituted a “counterintellengence” (COINTEL) action against the event by contacting and discouraging the larger sponsors such as Ford Motor Company, Chrysler Motor Company and others from supporting this event.
Near the end of his speech Malcolm X thanked his Detroit audience for attending the event. Apparently the fact that the FBI had attempted to sabotage this event was well known to Malcolm X. The FBI effort to peel support away from this event was at least successful enough so that the attendance was less than expected.
So few copies of this event program exist that I myself was contacted by a Detroit historian to provide photo scans of this copy.
The only other known copy of this event program noted on the Internet is a copy formerly owned by Rosa Parks, who was one of the individuals honored and pictured in the program. Distribution for this program may have been limited to the honorees and to the individuals and groups providing entertainment for the event.
This event program is not part of any collection that originated directly from Malcolm X or his family. It was and still is traditional to publish a very limited number of programs such as this to commemorate an event and then sell or give them away at the event. Since the program is dated on the front and was published strictly for this event, it is highly unlikely that the program was distributed after the date on the front. Because of the government pressure to suppress this historic event, chances are that any surviving copies of the event program were destroyed after the event.
This event program booklet is both extremely rare and very historic. Photographs of a corresponding 2 LP record set of Malcolm X's speech that night is included elsewhere in the Dorothy Ashby Legacy Photograph Collection only to give an additional historical reference as to what other recorded media was spawned as a result of the 1965 event that that this program commemorates.

Snapped this as we drove past. This is BBC headquarters. Nestled behind is the new centre which houses some impressive architecture. Nice to see my licence fee is being put to good use.
These photos were taken during a wonderful recording session we had in 2013: baritone Michael Dahmen and his piano partner Christoph Schnackertz produced an extended cycle of songs by Israeli composer Richard Farber. Based on poems by Heinrich Heine these songs obviously were fun to sing and definitely are amusing to listen to. The session took place in the concert hall of the broadcasting company Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) in Cologne (Germany).
