New Alligator Information

From the President of the Navy & Marine Living History Association

It has been some time since our research in either the historical record or under the ocean has resulted in something newsworthy, but last week that dry spell ended in a big way. As indicated in an article in the recent issue of Undersea Warfare, the US Navy now officially recognizes Alligator as its first submarine. In one way, we have succeeded in finding this long-lost vessel just over three years ago, Alligator was virtually lost to history; now it is slowly regaining its place in the records and, helping to enrich our naval history.

We hope soon to be able to distribute another update with information on Brutus de Villeroi's early work in France, dating back to 1832 and his first "boat-fish" . . . Also, over the next few weeks, the Navy & Marine LHA Alligator website will be totally redesigned to accommodate new information--including the deck logs from the gunboats Port Royal and Maratanza and the supply ship Brandywine, which we hope will shed some light on Alligator's June 1862 mission up Appomattox Creek near Petersburg.

Thank you for being patient while we were all turning over rocks and pestering archivists!
