GDG- Millard Filmore

[Bob Huddleston]

What does this have to do with black sailors? Seems to me it would cover all
sailors, black or white. 


Take care,

Bob

What is a spar deck and why could you be naked elsewhere?

Sep 28 1850

"The United States Navy abolishes the practice of flogging. Among the crimes
for which this was the penalty are: stealing poultry from the coop (12
lashes), being lousy (6), stealing a wig (12), and being naked on the spar
deck (9). This reform is perhaps the signature moment in Millard Filmore's
presidency."
