The purpose was to find a route through the Bering Strait that was warmed by the Pacific Kiro Shio current to an open polar sea. The 'Jeannette' became icebound northwest 350 Km and sunk in May 1881 some 400 Km from the Siberian coast. The 33 men provisioned three life boats to drag over the ice to open water for the nearest settlements in Lena Delta. On the water they became separated in a gale and one boat vanished.

[US NAVY - GREAT WHITE FLEET] McKEEVER, "Mellie" [JG?] U S J G
Pair of Patriotic Memorial Textiles Commemorating the Voyage of the Great White Fleet 1907-1908
N.p. Japan ca 1907. Pair of large trapunto banners both removed from original frames. First 82cm x 60cm ca 32" x 24"; embroidered in silk with trapunto elements on a black silk ground; photographic portrait on cabinet card inserted in embroidered pocket at center inscribed "Mellie McKeever" on verso. Silk ground fragile with a few thin tears but no significant losses; light soil; embroidered portions generally well-preserved and colors bright. Very Good. Second banner 65cm x 50cm ca 25" x 20"; photo-transfer on silk with embroidered ornaments. Slight fading to embroidered portions but generally well-preserved and sound; Very Good. Both banners with firm provenance purchased from the descendants of Mellie McKeever of Richwood West Virginia. Two exceptional and well-preserved examples of the ornamental trapunto banners that were popular souvenirs among U.S. sailors and marines during the late 19th and early 20th century. Yokohama was the principal point of production for these naval souvenirs but we have also seen examples from the Philippines and mainland China; Japanese examples such as these are generally distinguished by a higher quality of embroidery and more sophisticated composition. The banners became popular among British and American sailors beginning as early as the Boxer Rebellion and the Spanish-American War but seem to have reached their peak of popularity with the arrival in the Far East of Teddy Roosevelt's Great White Fleet in 1908. Some 14000 sailors and marines made land at various Japanese ports-of-call in that year and given the regularity with which these textiles still appear one imagines that every sailor must have brought at least one of these souvenirs home with him. <br /> <br /> The first example though of an unusually impressive size is of a type frequently seen displaying typical naval iconography right down to the hand-painted battleship portrait of a two-stack battleship of the Kearsarge class its hull painted white reflecting its peace-time mission at bottom center. The embroidered frame to hold a cabinet portrait of the sailor or perhaps a loved one is a typical feature found on more elaborate examples. The American Eagle in full battle stance is a nearly universal element of these banners. <br /> <br /> The second banner is of a style we have not previously seen and for which we can find no analogues in the extensive literature of naval souvenirs. It is clearly a family portrait probably a composite made from cartes-des-visites carried by McKeever; the portraits are printed by silkscreen using a photo-transfer process with applied trapunto decorations. The likenesses are clearly enlarged -- it is highly unlikely that a common sailor would have had room aboard a battleship to carry full-size portraits -- and it strikes us that this must have seemed an almost magical process at the time of creation especially to a young man from a tiny lumber-and-coal town in central West Virginia. <br /> <br /> Aside from their obvious virtues as objects of art and handicraft we regard these banners as compelling pieces of material culture from a period of tremendous social transformation in the United States. According to the Naval Historical Center U.S. naval rolls expanded by nearly 400% between the beginning of the Spanish-American War and the launching of the Great White Fleet. To meet this demand for the first time in its history the Navy began recruiting from the American heartland rather than solely from the Eastern Seaboard states. The generation of inland farmers and mechanics to follow was thus the first in American history to experience first-hand cultures as diverse and divergent from their own as those of Europe Asia and the Pacific Islands; they represented not only the beginning of the American imperialist enterprise but also the first stirrings of America's global consciousness. That so many of these banners have survived in good condition is evidence of the degree to which they were treasured by their owners for whom they represented an experience that must have been transformative and definitive. unknown

Lined paper listing the 614 men aboard assigning each a number gun and location Fore Castle Port Main Top Mizzen Top etc.; listing division and stations; and recording details of every situation that might occur on the ship see examples below. The ship is unnamed but it appears to be a ship of the Line or a Frigate which had 3 masts as well as some minimal amount of steam power. There were 6 African-American members of the crew all of whom were Union Sailors during the Civil War Edward Turner Joseph Davis and Thomas Mills from Maryland; Henry Andres from the West Indies; Joseph Gordan from New York; Samuel R. Whittaker from Buenos Aires. Three of these men served on the USS Minnesota which may help identify the ship.
