The gift also included a journal from U.S Navy and Confederate navy officer Wilburn Briggs Hall, Naval Academy Class of 1859, from his time as a midshipman aboard USS Plymouth, and a sailcloth-wrapped journal kept by Ferdinand Piper, a Sailor who served on the frigate Guerriere and USS Dolphin from 1831 to 1832, along with a first printing of J. Thomas Sharf's “History of the Confederate States of the Navy, ” published in 1887.
