HISTORY OF HARVEYDuring
the War of 1812 a class of U.S. warships emerged out of Chesapeake Bay. These schooners were lightly gunned, sleek and
very fast. They could sail almost directly into the wind at full speed! The ships were used to overtake and capture
British merchants laden with cargo to support the British forces who were then attempting to recapture the former colonies.
After that, the American clippers really came into their own when California was incorporated as a State of the Union in 1848.
When it was discovered that California
was a state of tremendous natural wealth a rush was on to transport goods including gold after it was discovered in California.
This could best be met traveling by sea (much less perilous than the journey over land) and using very fast ships
such as the Clippers to run blockades and transport valuable cargo from New York to San Francisco by way of Cape Horn
and back.

Christian Radich - built in 1937 is a 241 foot, 676 ton, full-rigged ship built in 1937 in Sandefjord,
Norway. She was built for training sailors for the Norwegian merchant navy. In 1938 she sailed to New York for
the World Fair and in 1939 she sailed back to Norway. At that time she was placed under the control of the Norwegian
Navy. During WWII she was seized by the Germans near Oslo and was used by them as a submarine depot ship. She
was then taken to Germany in 1943 and in 1945 she was found by the Allies at Flensburg Germany in a capsized condition and
without her masts or equipment. She was towed back to Norway and rebuilt in the same yard where she was built in 1937.She
resumed her school ship operations in 1947 and in 1956-1957 she went on a long trans-Atlantic cruise during which the wide-screen
Cinerama film "Windjammer" was shot aboard.

HMS ENDEAVOUR - In the years 1768-1771, British sailor Captain James Cook
used the Endeavour to sail the Pacific Ocean, map
New Zealand and survey the eastern coast of Australia. Captain Cook discovered New Zealand and the East Coast of Australia and claimed both
for Britain. He was also the first person to circumnavigate the world in both directions. His
ship was HMS Endeavour. Endeavour eventually ended up becoming part of the British fleet used during the
Revolutionary War.
HMS Endeavour was intentionally sunk by the British in Newport
Harbor, Rhode Island in 1778 to keep French ships from landing to aid the Americans' drive for independence. The American/French rebellion
against the British failed. Four ships from a British fleet used during the U.S. Revolutionary War have been found off Rhode Island,
and one may be the vessel 18th century explorer Captain James Cook sailed on his epic voyage to Australia, archaeologists
said today.
Researchers with the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project said they believe the four ships, and
two others previously discovered, are part of a 13-vessel transport fleet intentionally sunk by the British in Newport Harbor in 1778 to keep French ships from landing to aid the Americans' drive for independence.
The archaeologists say one of the 13 ships in the
sunken British fleet was the Lord Sandwich, which records show was once the Endeavour but Archaeologists say it is unclear
which ship could be the Endeavour. Seven of the ships in the British fleet have not been found but the
archaeologists say the latest find raises the chances that one of the discovered ships is the Endeavour. According to the executive director of the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project there is a 47 per cent chance that
we have our hands on the Endeavour. It may take years to fully investigate the shipwrecks. Using historical materials and sonar, the archaeologists discovered the
ships in Narragansett Bay, about a kilometer off
Newport. They also found at least
one cannon, an anchor with a five-meter shank and a cream-colored fragment of an 18th century British ceramic teapot.Historically, the finding is significant because it helps tell the story
of the siege of Newport, marking France's first attempt to aid the American insurrection against the British. The shipwrecks are Rhode Island property and
there are no plans to raise them.Officials estimate
more than two dozen ships from the Revolutionary War period lie beneath Rhode Island's waters. They include British Royal Navy frigates, vessels from the Continental
Navy and a French ship.
