If I had a nickel for everything an HMS Royal James was lost to Dutch fireships, Id have 2 nickels, which is a little weird. Admiral Montagu died with his ship.
Gravesite of Alexander Robinson, Chicago's last Potawatomi chief. Yes this is in Chicago city limits. Much of the family's land is now part of the Forest Preserves on the far NW side.
2 evenly matched fleets in terms of technology and numbers, with FTL capable capital ships and escorts, plus strikecraft. One is commanded by Bill "Husker" Adama, the other by Grand Admiral Thrawn. Who is winning?
So I was looking at lidar images of a river I like to paddle when I noticed this feature. You'll notice the river makes a horseshoe bend then turns south. The narrowest point on the bend is Class IV rapids, then the river turns south and enters a gorge that is a couple hundred meters long.. However the LIDAR shows the gorge actually extends to the north past the river. Is this an old path the river once took? Did this gorge predates the current river? This is north central Wisconsin on am exposed Batholith in an area that was under the glaciers. I apologize in advance if this is more suited for a hydrology subreddit.
