  • The American Great White Fleet comprised of 16 fancy battleships sent around the world to show off America's strength, and gain some global prestige for the country. Along with it occurred many incidents and weird twists that I try to cover in this video. I am an amateur and can GUARANTEE there are mistakes so go easy on me.

    Here is an excellent website I used for my research, loaded with info and tons of postcards:

    As a lifelong resident of Connecticut I have found it both sad and amusing that after having our namesake ship lead the great white fleet as flagship, the 2nd most notable action of one of our namesakes was being attacked by a polar bear.

    Always wondered why the fleet couldn’t make it to visit the home of the the most powerful navy of the time. Having done sterling relief work in the Mediterranean they just avoided Great Britain. Could it be they didn’t want to upset Admiral Fisher, who had a tendency to overreact.
