Milwaukee Road 2024 Wall Calendar

$15.95

Chartered in 1849, the Milwaukee Road eventually extended its tracks across the northern tier of the United States to the Pacific Ocean. Noted for its innovative electric motive power and passenger service, the line’s successes were overshadowed by weak management and strong competition. By Spring 1982, all Milwaukee lines from the West Coast to Minnesota had been abandoned, and in 1986 remaining Midwest lines were absorbed into the Soo Line. Today CP Rail operates what remains.

Southern Pacific Railroad 2024 Wall Calendar

$15.95

Southern Pacific Railroad began with a simple idea: to connect San Francisco and San Diego, California, by rail. A century later, Southern Pacific had become one of the largest railroads in America, with lines that stretched from coast to coast (connecting to New York via Morgan Line steamships) and from the south to the northwest. In 1959, SP moved more ton-miles of freight than any other U.S. railroad. Engines featured here reach back to the era of SP steam, and forward to the diesels of the 1970s.

June Breeze Jigsaw Puzzle by Jonathan Green

$18.95

Looking as if she is floating in the clouds, a young woman wearing pearls and an expansive woven sun hat is the subject of the original painting, June Breeze, by South Carolina artist Jonathan Green and transformed here into a 1,000-piece June Breeze jigsaw puzzle. The young woman in the painting seems as mysterious as she is elegant. Looking away from the painter toward something only she can see, she wears a white dress with puffed tulle sleeves and a billowing strand of tulle decorates her large woven reed hat. The result is a painting that is both beautiful and enigmatic. Though the expanses of white may make this a more challenging jigsaw puzzle to complete, the result will surely reward the effort in the working of it.

Images featured in this edition include:
≈ The destroyer Hawkins (DD 873) transits the waters between Corsica and Sardinia during one of a series of Mediterranean deployments with the Sixth Fleet. Destroyer Sailors think of their ships as “workhorses of the Fleet,” and Hawkins’ thirty-plus years of service across the Atlantic, the Caribbean, the Pacific, and the Mediterranean give evidence of this proud claim.
≈ A Los Angeles-class attack submarine of Submarine Group Seven at sea, with a Mystic-class rescue submersible stowed in a cradle on her deck. Armed with Harpoon and Tomahawk missiles as well as antisubmarine torpedoes, newer Los Angeles-class submarines can also lay mines. Retractable bowmounted diving planes let them operate under ice.
≈ An embarked combat artist shares his impression of an enemy ship torpedoed and sunk by a surfaced submarine in a night attack. Since radar was only making its first appearances during World War II, this “boat” is being directed by the eyes and optics of her crew.
≈ Many artists in the Far East made a good living painting pictures of naval and merchant ships for sale. An unknown artist did this likeness of Olympia during her 1895-1898 service as flagship of the Asiatic Fleet. In 1898 she flew the flag of Commodore George Dewey during the battle of Manila Bay, and is preserved as a memorial at Philadelphia. U.S. Navy ships were painted white with buff upperworks from the 1890s through 1908 to make crew spaces a bit more livable in those days before air conditioning.
≈ Explosions, flares, and tracers light up the night in the crisscrossing channels of the Rung Sat swamp, the strategic area in Vietnam between Saigon and the South China Sea. An inshore patrol craft (PCF), popularly known as a “Swift boat,” engages Viet Cong ambushers with machine guns, small arms, and an 81mm mortar.
≈ A trick of the atmosphere makes gunfire-support destroyers appear to be blowing smoke rings over the bitterly-contested landing beaches at Peleliu during the Pacific campaign of World War II. Ships’ gunfire and carrier planes backed up assault landings and lent powerful artillery support to troops fighting ashore.
≈ The ammunition ship Firedrake (AE 14) replenishes an aircraft carrier of Task Force 77 in the icy waters off North Korea. Mobile logistics lessons earned during World War II would reemphasize their value off Korea and, later, off Vietnam.
≈ A CH-53 heavy-lift helicopter stands ready aboard USS Dubuque (LPD 8) as plans are formulated for Operation End Sweep, the clearance of mines from North Vietnamese waters after the signing of the Paris accords. Designed as amphibious troop carriers, the size and power of the CH-53 suited it for the new task of airborne minesweeping.
≈ A French fleet, under Admiral Comte de Grasse, defeats Admiral Thomas Graves’ British fleet attempting to relieve Lord Charles Cornwallis’ besieged army at Yorktown near the end of the Revolutionary War. Cut off from reinforcement and supplies, Cornwallis surrenders to the American- French army under General George Washington and General Comte de Rochambeau. De Grasse’s success made Cornwallis’ surrender, and American independence, inevitable.
≈ For more than a quarter-century the A-4 Skyhawk, affectionately called “Heinemann’s hot rod” in tribute to its principal designer, played a key role in Navy and Marine Corps aviation. The Skyhawk proved its worth in Southeast Asia, carrying a major share of combat operations in North and South Vietnam. Nearly three thousand Skyhawks were produced, serving in both U.S. and foreign air forces. Forrestal (CVA 59), the first “super carrier” was not only
the first aircraft carrier built after World War II, it was also the first built specifically to operate jet aircraft.
≈ The double-turreted monitor Onondaga saw Civil War service in the James River, where she supported Federal troops advancing on Richmond. Laid up after Appomattox, she was sold to her builder who, in turn, sold her to the French Navy. This artist’s rendition illustrates the vulnerability of Civil War monitors. With freeboard measured in inches, they worked well on rivers and in coastal waters but were poorly suited to blue-water operations.
≈ The artist portrays a timeless scene: a sailor stands his watch in the hours before morning with moonlight his only company. Perhaps his thoughts turn to loved ones at home as he looks out across the expanse of ocean and listens to the sighing of the wind.
