* With Morris Island lighthouse aid in sight, group turns to Folly Civil War site
- Charleston Post and Courier, 1-9-06
* The Florida Legislature will be asked to multiply the state's financial commitment to the St. Johns River by nearly 10 times this spring as part of a multiyear, multimillion-dollar project to purify the waterway
- Florida Times Union, 1-9-05
Dear Mac - last Saturday I added a piece to what I have
already said about the Voltaire and mentioned that I had
the full crew listing at the time of the loss. I can paste
that in here now and maybe you can re-position it to
wherever it is likely to be of most use.
Regards - Simon Templer
