THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC

INTRODUCTION

RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City. She carried 2,224 passengers and crew. The sinking caused the deaths of more than 1,500 people, making it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in modern history.

The RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time it entered service. It was the second of three Olympic class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line, and was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. Thomas Andrews, her naval architect, Andrews was among those lost during the sinking.

ELLIS ISLAND: A SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY

INTRODUCTION

Ellis Island, in Upper New York Bay, was the gateway for millions of immigrants to the United States. It served as the nation's busiest immigrant inspection station from 1892-1954. The island was greatly enlarged with land reclamation between 1892-1934. Ellis Island was made part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument in 1965, and has hosted a museum of immigration since 1990. Although long considered part of New York State, a 1998 United States Supreme Court decision found that most of the island is in New Jersey.

GERMAN IMMIGRATION TO THE U. S., 1683-1978:

1683--First permanent German settlement in U.S. is founded at Germantown, PA.

1683-1820--Emigration from Germany during this period is caused mainly by religious persecution & economic hardship. Emigration includes a large number of Protestants from the Palatinate (southwest Germany).

1700-1800--Many German Protestants settle in Pennsylvania, New York, and Virginia. German Catholics begin arriving in Maryland. Approximately 200,000 Germans emigrate to U.S. during this period, and 70,000 of them settle in PA.

1708-1710--Most intense winter in memory begins in Germany in October 1708 and continues until April 1709. The intense cold destroys fruit trees and vineyards. Many Germans leave southwest Germany for London. British government originally encourages settlement of German Protestants in Ireland, but later encourages their settlement in America. Groups of German settlers leave England in 1710 bound for the Carolinas and New York.

1775-1783--Large numbers of Hessians (German soldiers hired out by their monarchs to the King of Great Britain) serve in the British Army during the American Revolution. At least 12,000 desert and remain behind in America and Canada.

1789-1800--French Revolution rocks Europe; various European wars occur during this time period.

1803-1815--Napoleonic wars; France more or less constantly at war with one or more other European powers, including Prussia & Austria.

1821-1871--Emigration from Germany during this time period is caused mainly by economic hardship and war. Emigration includes large numbers of persons from Alsace-Lorraine, Baden, Hessen, Rheinland, and Wurttemberg (southeast Germany).

1848--Revolutions in Europe begin. Various German principalities rebel, although rebellion is probably most widespread in Baden.

1849--After the revolutions fail, revolutionaries flee to Zurich, London, and America.

1850--Hamburg passenger lists begin. Hamburg and Bremen become popular places to emigrate from because city fathers realize that money can be made feeding and housing emigrants while they wait to sail, and by making them pay a tax to emigrate. Bremen is more popular, because it has a reputation for treating emigrants better than does Hamburg.

1851--The advent of the steamship in the 1850s cuts trans-Atlantic travel time from 43 days (sailing ship) to 13 days.

1854--250,000 Germans arrive at U.S. ports.

1862-1865--Germans who serve in the Union Army can become American citizens after 1 year of residency in the U.S. States like Pennsylvania and New York actively recruit Army volunteers in Germany, paying their passage and enlistment bounties.

1866--Prussia defeats Austria in Seven Weeks’ War.

1870-1871--Many men flee Germany to avoid serving in the Franco-Prussian War. German Empire founded in 1871.

1871-1914--Emigration to the U.S. becomes more common from all parts of Germany.

1880--200,000 Germans arrive at U.S. ports.

1890--Large German-born populations are living in NY, PA, OH, IL, MN, WI, and MO. 70,000 German-born persons are living in Deep South, including 15,000 in New Orleans. More German citizens are living in New York City than live in Hamburg, Germany.

1920--Between 1820 and 1920, more than 5,500,000 Germans emigrate to U.S., more than any other nationality including the Irish (4,400,000).

1944--Nearly all existing Bremen passenger lists are destroyed during Allied bombing raid on October 6, 1944. All that remains are some records for 1907 and 1913-1914.

1978--A study shows that nearly 7,000,000 Germans settled in U.S. between 1820 and 1977.

LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORTATION IN THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR, PART IV

Copyright © 2006 by St. Louis Public Library. All rights reserved.

VI. Civil War Era Water Transportation

Canal mileage in the US:

3,700 miles, mostly in the northeastern states
North: 3,182 (86%)
South: 518 (14%)

Exports:
North: $222,199,477
South: $27,145,466 (returns from AR, TN, and MS incomplete)

Imports:
North: $320,996,024
South: $14,654,129 (of that, $11,960,869 passed through New Orleans, revenue lost to the South during most of the war)

American vessels leaving US ports:
North: 10,260
South: 819

Foreign vessels leaving US ports:
North: 10,336
South: 220

Total tonnage, imports & exports:
North: 13,654,925
South: 737,901

Canals and steamboats were important modes of transport of persons and goods prior to 1850, but the explosive growth of railroads in the 1850s (from 9,000 miles of track to 30,000 miles in ten years) greatly lessened the importance of both those modes of transport. Rail transport was somewhat more expensive than those modes of transport, but was also both faster and more reliable than canal or river transport.

During 1865, the Quartermaster General of the Union Army owned or chartered 719 transport vessels for use on oceans or the Great Lakes. The Inland Transportation Division owned or chartered 352 barges, 91 steamers, and 139 boats for use on inland rivers. Enforcing the blockade of Southern ports required 600 naval vessels and 70,000 naval personnel.

Blockade Running During the Civil War

Was blockade running profitable? Yes! How successful were blockade runners? Five out of six successfully evaded the blockade. Does this mean that the blockade was not effective? No-- bales of cotton exported from Southern states were reduced from 10,000,000 total in the three years preceding the Civil War to 500,000 total from April 1861 to April 1865.

Blockade runners usually carried cotton on the outward voyage, exchanging it in Nassau, Bermuda, or Havana for weapons, goods, medicines, and foodstuffs, which were then sold on return to a Confederate port. Blockade running ships were usually painted dark gray or black, to help them blend into their surroundings at night and on overcast days.

The steamer Bermuda in late 1861 made a run from Savannah, Georgia, to Liverpool, England. It carried back 22 cannon of various bores with ammunition, 6,500 Enfield rifles, 200,000 Enfield cartridges, 6,000 pairs of army boots, 20,000 army blankets, 180 barrels of gunpowder, and large quantities of morphine, quinine, and other medicines. The cargo was purchased by the Confederate government for $1,000,000.

A blockade runner taking a steamer to England with 800 bales of cotton in 1864 could exchange the cotton for militarily useful items, sell those items back in the Confederacy, and earn $400,000 or more for his trouble. It was said that a runner who made two successful trips could pay for his steamer, material costs, and crew expenses, and still have enough left over to live a comfortable life for many years thereafter.

A blockade runner in 1864 bought $6,000 worth of foodstuffs in Nassau and then sold them to the Confederate Commissariat in Richmond for $27,000- a 450% return on investment.

A bag of salt selling for $1.25 in the North by mid-1864 could be sold for $60 in the South, a 5,000% return on investment.
