Chester Osborne AssistsSearch for British Ships

A Center Moriches man is providing research for the crew seek-ing ships ' hul ls off the Manor of St. George near Mastic Beach.

He is Chester G. Osborne of Lake Avenue, Center Moriches,curator of manuscripts at the museum at the Manor of St. George.Trustees of the museum are George C. Furman and Hugh S. Furman.

Work began last Wednesdayunder the direction of JacksonJenks , who heads a crew of sixaboard a specially outfitted re-search boat. Last Thursday, themen used snorkels to find theships ' hulls. When they move intodeeper water, the men will usetanks. Mr. Osborne said.

2. enk's crew is seeking oneanr1 issibly two British shipsbelit . _d to have been sunk byAmerican artillerymen in 1780 dur-ing the American RevolutionaryWar.

"The crew has made a promis-ing beginning," said Mr. Osborne,"but it can 't be said that theshi ps have been found." He notedthat several pieces of metal havebeen found by the divers.

Reviewing the background ofthe sealSch Mr. Osborne said theBri tish occupied the Manor andfortified it in 1780. Under the or-ders of General Washington , Maj.General B e n j a m i n Tallmadgelaunched a three-pronged attackagainst the fort on the morningof November 23, 1780. Taking thefort the Americans turned cannonupon British ships lying offshoreand sunk one , possibly two, ships.The Americans boarded the re-maining ships, took off the car-goes of rum, sugar and glass, andburned them. They dispatched thebooty to Connecticut for the bene-fit of the Continental Army.

Mr. Jenks will place whateverhe discovers in his New EnglandArcheological Museum, which heexpects to open in Newport nextyear. Estimated cost of the LongIsland search is $5,000, he said.He has located 35 wrecks, most ofwhich were found in New England.

Mr. Jenks is also seeking thefamed Savannah , which sank dur-ing an 1821 storm; a AVorld War IIGerman submarine reportedly sunkwithin 12 miles of Long Island'ssouthern coastline, a n d otherwrecks. The 45-foot research ship,Dorothy W. II , sailing out ofNewport, R. L, is outfitted withsonar-like equipment to assist indetecting the sunken ships.

Hobby Aids YouthToward Teaching

EAST MORICHES—William H. O'Brien , Jr., intends to applyhis hobby toward his chosen vocation. He wants to be a teacherof history and is collecting articles which had a part in the makingof history. ,. „

Souvenirs of four of America's wars Ime. the four walls andceiling of his room. A 00-poundcannon ball used in the AmericanRevolutionary War lies on thefloor. In an adjoining closet is astand of rifles dating from theCivil War.

Bill O'Brien , who is the son ofMr. and Mrs. William II. O'Brien ,Sr., of Tuthill Point Road , is a"buff" of the famous War Be-tween the States. As a Summerproject he and his father intendto construct a relief map of theBattle of Gettysburg. Father andson have visited the historic fieldtogether and studied thoroughlythe signficance the Union defeat ofGeneral Lee 's armv.

Mr. O'Brien has taught oftenabout that turning point in thestiuggle between the Blue andthe Gray. He teaches AmericanHistory at Center Moriches HighSchool and the History of WesternCivilization at the .Mitchel Collegeextension of Long Island Univer-sity.

Young Bill plans to follow hisfather into the classroom. To pre-pare for the teaching of historylie will enter Norwich Universityin Northfield , Vt., this Fall. InJune lie graduated from West-hampton Beach H i g h School.Teaching is very much a traditionin the O'Brien family, for Bill ' ssister, Miss Ann O'Brien , is ateacher in Acton , Me.

After completing college Billplans to put in his mili tary dutywith the United States Marines,lie has a respect for the fightingprowess of the Corps passed on byhis father. Mr. O'Brien served aslieutenant commander with theUnited States Navy during WorldWar II. He was a communicationsofficer in the Seventh Fleet aboardthe APA (Attack Transport) 118,USS Hendry at the invasions ofIwo Jima and Okinawa in 1045.

He added an important item tohis son 's collection. He sent backthe battle flag flown on his shipduring the Iwo Jima campaign.Mr. O'Brien also increased hisson 's collection by sending a wingsection of a German Messer-schmitt 109, which was reportedto have been shot down in 1942 bya British ship in the course ofthe Libyan campaign.

Such articles inspired youngBill to collect more militarysouvenirs. As a boy he had al-ready mustered a formidable arrayof toy soldiers garbed in Irish ,Russian , Italian , German , Polish ,Belgian , Pakistanis and other uni-forms.

From World War II he has aJapanese Samurai sword andnaval ensign from a cruiser , amortar shell from Iwo Jima , aGerman Afr ika Corps helmet andItalian , French , British , Japaneseand German helmets. Carried onan American naval ship duringWorld War II but dating from theWar of 1812 is a boarding cutlass.

From the Spanish AmericanWar conies a hat band with theword USS Maine and a bolt-actionKrag rifle, while his collection ofWorld War I items includes aGerman general officer's helmet.

But Bill O'Brien has decided toconcentrate his collection uponsouvenirs from the Civil War. Hepossesses a Union carbine used bythe cavalry, and a British Enfieldrifle made for the Confederacy in1802. "Minnie balls ," the bulletsof that war , are taped on a card,A "spade bayonet ," serving anawesome dual purpose in the war ,flashes from the wall.

In the room is also a cannonrammer fro m the Civil War , aUnion knapsack and canteen, acavalry sabre and the rolled-uplanyard used to fire a cannon.

On the opposite wall are souve-nirs from the Wehrmacht , the Ger-man Army during the World WarII. Recalling the tragic Europeanhistory of the Thirties and Fortiesis an SS arm band bearing thehated swastika , an arm band ofthe Forty-Fourth Panzer Division ,the German infantryman 's badgeand Iron Cross and the so-called"frozen front" medal for Germansoldiers serving in the ill-fatedRussian campaign.

Bill O'Brien 's hobby is an aid tothe study of history. The souvenirsrepresent eras during which menhave clashed in the name of sov-ereignty. They are part of theeducation of a young man seekingto understand the worl d which hasbeen bequeathed to his generation.
