Wreckage Is Not USS Chattanooga Friday, April 30, 2021
The story Wreckage Located In Tennessee River is in error. There is no way that the ship wreckage found is USS Chattanooga.
Both ships named USS Chattanooga were commissioned after the Civil War.
The first Chattanooga, a screw steamer, was launched Oct. 13, 1864 by William Cramp & Sons, Philadelphia, Pa.; completed by the Philadelphia Navy Yard and commissioned May 16, 1866, Captain J. P. McKinstry in command.
After final trials in August 1866, Chattanooga returned to the Navy Yard where she was decommissioned Sept. 3, 1866. She remained inactive there and at League Island, where in December 1871 she was holed and sunk at her dock by floating ice. The hulk was sold in January 1872.

Philadelphia is bringing traffic safety into the classroom with a new curriculum designed to educate students from pre-K to high school about how to walk and bike safely on city streets.
“As a major urban school district, it should come as no surprise that the majority of our students walk or take public transportation to schools,” said Superintendent of the School District of Philadelphia William Hite at a launch event Monday outside of William Cramp School in Fairhill. “Because of this, it’s vitally important that our students and their families have as much access as possible to resources around safety.”
If a family chooses to pivot their pre-K through second grade student to the hybrid learning model, he or she will have two days per week of in-person instruction and three days per week of online learning.
The new schedule would take effect the week of April 5 after all pre-K through second grade students who are already enrolled in the hybrid learning model have successfully begun some in-person instruction.
If a family does not respond to the survey, their student will continue with all-remote learning. Families are also permitted to remain all-virtual or revert back to online-only instruction after originally choosing to partake in the hybrid learning model.
