9227 CSS Chattahoochee, Center Gallery- Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus, 1002 Victory Dr., Columbus, Muscogee, GA. April 17, 2014. Decimal degrees: 32.448203, -84.980960
“CSS Chattahoochee”
“CSS Chattahoochee Model: Built by Ozzie Raines and donated to the Museum in 2005, this model shows the wide beam, shallow draft and relatively flat hull that suited the ship well for river travel.
2 Boot Socks: Belonged to Lt. J.J. Guthrie, in command of the Chattahoochee.
3 Pocket Knife: Found with the remains of the Chattahoochee. Pocket knives were very common among sailors, and this artifact likely belonged to one of the enlisted crewmen.
4 Lt. J.J. Guthrie: Original pre-war photograph of Guthrie, probably taken in 1852.
5 Battle Axe Head: The remains of a battle axe, found with the Chattahoochee. These axes, despite their name, were typically used as tools, not weapons.
6 Boarding Pike Head: Found with the remains of the CSS Chattahoochee, thus documenting the continued use of this age-old naval item.
7 Austrian Bayonet: Both US and Confederate forces imported weapons from Europe to augment their own production ability. This bayonet, produced in Austria, was recovered from the Chattahoochee.
8 Lt. J.J. Guthrie Sword: This Model 1853 US Navy Officer’s Sword was purchased by Guthrie before resigning his US Navy Commission to join the Confederacy. Engraved on the sword and scabbard are Guthrie’s name and the year 1861.
9 Model 1841 Cutlass: Widely used by the Confederate Navy, who captured large numbers as states seceded, this pre-war model cutlass was also copied and produced in large numbers in the South. This particular sword, recovered with the Chattahoochee, bears a unique alteration at the hilt; an 1860 US penny has been added to the tang, possibly to secure the now-missing wooden grip.
10 Grapping Hook: Used to snag floating items or to catch the rigging or rails of another ship to pull it closer for boarding, these were standard naval equipment. This example was recovered with the CSS Chattahoochee.”
Deed assigned to John Weston, Canaan, Massachusetts, December 18, 1792. There are subsequent recording dates in 1793, 1810, and 1814.
“Illiam Dhone: A Manx Historical Drama which won the Chruinnaght Gold Medal, 1924”
by J. J. Keen
Published by Yn Chruinnaght Vanninagh Ashoonagh, as “Publication No. 1”, in 1926
Printed by S. K. Broadgate & Co. Ltd., Douglas
A seven-scene play on the life, death and aftermath of William Christian (“Illiam Dhone”).The play is a masterful handling of the contentious question of the traitor/nationalist status of Illiam Dhone in handing the island over to the Parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War. Kneen manages to leave the question still open in the play, despite making Dhone a very strong and heroic character.
That J. J. Kneen (1873 - 1938) was perhaps the leading Manx linguist as well as scholar and nationalist of his day would not come as a surprise after reading this play. He had a great many articles and translations to him name, although his most famous work is probably the translation the Manx National Anthem into Manx.
Kneen was a keen playwright also, writing many plays on Manx topics and themes. This play of ‘Illiam Dhone’ is a curious instance in that Kneen deals with Dhone and the complex issues surrounding him masterfully while giving the play a very strange format - effectively splitting it into three parts:
(1) the Manx “rebellion” (in which Dhone does not appear throughout the first scene, when the Derby Monarchist rule is overthrown),
(2) the arrest, trial and execution of Dhone, eleven years later,
(3) the story of Dhone son’s overcoming a rival to marry the daughter of one of Dhone’s accusers.
It should be clear what a daring opening act it is to leap straight into the rebellion, but also what a curious final act Kneen gives the play. It almost feels as if the play would be better titled, ‘Illiam Dhone and the Curse of the Clan Christian’.
Some of the characterisation is wonderful, particularly the interplay of Lady Molineux and Bishop Rutter in Scene I, where Rutter’s almost camp reactions to her outspoken attacks of the Roundheads is brilliant when set against the raucous songs that are left to us by the historical Samuel Rutter (Bishop 1660-1662/3). But this is nothing to the brilliant handling of Dhone himself, who is heroic, clearly drawn and yet vague at the same time. This is perhaps shown in one of the key lines in the play when Dhone is refusing to try to escape from the troops out to arrest him:
Christian:
Were it a crime to be a patriot, then am I a criminal indeed. I ever placed my country before aught else.
[...]
‘Twould be as well for a mouse to struggle against a lion, as for our puny little Isle to attempt to dictate to the armed forces if the English State.
[Scene III., p. 11]

I went to the opening at Powerhouse for the new book,
"Hamburger Eyes". I scampered around and managed
to get as many signatures as possible. Besides Boogie,
I got the Potes bros. and the lovely Sara Rosen to sign.
Perhaps one day this will be a serious collector's item...

I bought a used book the other day that had three loose pages like this in it. It is the sort of kid-writing that it would seem impossible to fake. I hope to use it in some way in a digital collage.
In October 1999, PhotoWorks invited myself and Marysia Lewandowska to undertake a year-long residency in the Design Council Archive at the University of Brighton.
Documents was the culmination of that residency, which included an exhibition, with a film Tearing, a publication, a web-browser [sadly no longer available] and conference.
This is from the publication: Documents publication, designed by Stuart Smith, published by Photoworks, Brighton. December 2000.
