A Look at Some of Hampton Road's Most Famous Ships-- Part 3: The First Aircraft Carrier

Aircraft Carrier No. 1.  It was converted from a collier at Norfolk Naval Yard and became the USS Langley (CV-1).  It was anchored in the James River when a Vought biplane piloted by Lt. V.C. Griffin made the Navy's first-ever takeoff from a ship on October 17, 1922.

The first purpose-built aircraft carrier launched at Newport News in 1933, the USS Ranger (CV-4).  It was the first U.S. Navy ship designed from the keel up as an aircraft carrier.  Its island feature established the distinctive profile of all carriers that followed.

A Look At Some of Hampton Roads' Most Famous Ships-- Part 2: America's First Battleship

America's first battleship, the USS Texas (BB-1) had the most modern armament, armor and design.  It was built by the Norfolk Naval Shipyard starting in 1889, but was considered already obsolete by its commissioning in 1895, though it did play an important role in the Spanish-American War.

The USS Pennsylvania was built by Newport News and commissioned in 1915 as the lead ship of a new class of "Super Dreadnaught Battleships."  It was the first major warship to feature four triple-gun turrets mounting 12 massive 14-inch naval guns.

A Look at Some of Hampton Roads' Most Famous Ships-- Part 1: USS Chesapeake

From the January 10, 2014, Stars and Stripes by Mark St. John Erickson of the Hampton Roads Daily Press.  Like I said before, he sure gets the good articles to write.

Two of the most famous shipyards are located in Hampton Roads, Virginia, area: Norfolk Naval Shipyard which launched its first U.S. Navy warship in 1799 and the Newport News Shipbuilding which was founded in 1886.

In 1798, the USS Chesapeake, the fourth and smallest of the original "Super Frigates."  (The USS Constitution was one of them.)  The ship and country were greatly embarrassed when it was boarded by the HMS Shannon off of Cape Henry and the famous "Don't Give Up the Ship" quote came about because of it.

The CSS Virginia, built on the hull of the USS Merimack and fought the famous Battle of Hampton Roads against the USS Monitor.

The Woodstock and Sycamore Traction Company-- Part 2

The line stretched for 26.3 miles, but was never electrified due to a lack of funds, so they used gasoline-powered cars.  Three 55-foot McKeen cars were purchased but proved unsatisfactory and were replaced by two small Fairbanks-Morse cars.

Spanish-American War Memorial Dedicated in Goldsboro, NC-- Part 5: The Goldsboro Rifles

The Goldsboro Rifles were a company of volunteers for the Confederacy in the Civil War from the local area.  They were disbanded after Lee's surrender at Appomattox, but reestablished in the 1870s.  It was a company of soldiers and eventually T.H. Bain became their commanding officer with the rank of captain.

When war with Spain broke out in 1898, the U.S. government called for volunteers and many members of the Goldsboro Rifles answered the call.  Diseases in tropical camps claimed as many of the American troops as bullets on the battlefield.

Bain made his request to honor his fallen men in the local newspaper, but nothing ever came of it...until now.

North Carolina's Cheerwine-- Part 2: Secret Formula

The exact formula for Cheerwine has never been revealed, and the company  that produces it is still owned and operated by Peeler descendants.

The popularity  of the new drink was so great that the bottling company changed its name in 1924 to the Piedmont Cheerwine Bottling Company.  For many years the drink was only available in western North Carolina where it is still tremendously popular, but in 1981 the company began to expand beyond its traditional market into neighboring states.

In January 2003 Cheerwine became available in Europe for the first time through a licensing agreement with a local bottling company in Norway.

North Carolina's Cheerwine-- Part 1: World War I Sugar Shortages

From the Encyclopedia of North Carolina "Cheerwine: by Eileen McGrath.

In 1913, L.D. Peeler and several other investors in Salisbury purchased stock in the Kentucky-based Mint-Cola Bottling Company, and Peeler started the local bottling franchise of the company.  When the parent company went bankrupt in 1917, the Salisbury investors purchased their local branch and renamed it the Carolina beverage Corporation.

In the same year, in response to a sugar shortage during World War I, Peeler sought ways to make his cola drink with less sugar.  After experimenting with different formulas, he added wild cherry flavoring to a cola to create Cheerwine.  The name comes from the drink's cherry flavor and burgundy wine color.

Vintage Advertising: The Jolly Green Giant

From the May/June 2016, Saturday Evening Post "Scary Giant Finds His Gentler Side."

Created in 1928, the Green Giant was originally the mascot of the Minnesota Valley Canning Company and created to sell their unusually large green peas.  Originally he looked more like a wild-haired caveman wearing a bearskin.

That was until a young Leo Burnett gave him the makeover as he appears today: a green, leafy suit, green skin, a big smile and the word Jolly in front of his name.  It was pointed out that in the first TV ads appeared in 1958, Leo Burnett's agency added the signature "Ho, Ho, Ho" laugh.

To make him even more accessible, a companion, the Little Green Sprout, was added in 1972.

The canning company is now called the Green Giant Company and today is the largest vegetable brand in the world.

And, the Jolly Green Giant has been named one of the top 10 ad icons of the 20th century by Advertising Age magazine.

Centennial of Indy 500 This Month-- Part 2: And, I'll Be There

Barney Oldfield continued:  "The track was built with this idea in view. (To test driving skill and car stamina.)  Consequently, instead of two great ends with uniform curving, the track is four-cornered, with four straight curves and a short straightaway between the two corners that go to make up each end.  This cuts down the average speed, but it makes for thrilling racing."

Racing at the Indy track has led to engineering breakthroughs that are in your family vehicle such as disc brakes, independent suspension, high-mileage radial tires and fuel-injection.

Centennial of the Indy 500 This Month-- Part 1: From 100 MPH to 230 MPH

Of course, today you can even go faster than 100 mph in your own car.  At this year's 100th running of the the Indy 500 (and I'll be at it) the winner will be traveling nearly 230 mph.

It is still a hard race.  Back in the September 26, 1925, issue of the Saturday Evening Post, Oldfield wrote: "Conditions at the Indianapolis track are such that they demand driving skill and car stamina, as well as speed."
