This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Adios Vizcaya: 1900
A Shorpy photo showing the tampion of the USS Texas's 12-inch cannon which was made from the metal of the Spanish cruiser Viscaya, sunk during the Spanish-American War.
One of the comments to the site said that a 5.6-inch gun is at Fort Wayne, Indiana, (I'm writing about the siege of that fort in my War of 1812 blog) and several others are at West Point (USMA) and Annapolis (USNA).
Another is at the Columbia, Tennessee, Building.
