July 27, 1896 The success of the F. L. Graves gold dredge prompted the building of four more dredges along Grasshopper Creek. In April 1896 a second dredge boat was begun. This dredge was built just east of Marysville on the Gold Leaf Placers. A new design was tried using a cutter head and suction method of removing gravel from the creek. The dredge began working on July 27, 1896 but by the middle of August work stopped. The suction design frequently clogged and was not powerful enough so the dredge was redesigned as a double lift connected bucket dredge. The Maggie Gibson after remodeling during the grand launch.

Pyramid tombs at Jebel Barkal from the Meroitic era, dating between c.270 BC and AD 350. The site, near the ancient city of Napata, held special significance for Kush and Egypt, which believed that it was the source of Creation and the birthplace of the sun god Amun-Ra.

As a defensive armament, it was of little practical use, as the radar operator’s illuminated instruments screens degraded his low light vision. The turret was directed by a sighting arm which sat atop a rotating column with firing controls in the grips and fitted with an N-6 reflector sight.

C-5 Galaxy next to C-130 Hercules and a couple of fighters. Still blows my mind how big the C-5 really is.
