CALENDAR

Will make a 2011 but the above shows what I include

present day monthly calendar comprising BB35 activities over the entire range of the ship's existence, 24 June 1910 authorization to the present. (To many events to list all in any one month.) Provides an on-this-date-in-history, another view of BB35 longevity and the geography covered.

Made my first BB35 calendar in 1991.  A lot of events and info have been included over the years.

HOW TO READ THE CALENDAR

Example - entry for the 27th of March

  • "1914 ar NY Nav Yd" = On 27 March 1914 BB35 arrived in the New York Navy Yard

Abbreviations were used to save space

  1. States are 2 letter designation (CA, VA, NY etc)
  2. "ar" = arrive
  3. "lv" = leave
  4. "NYC" = New York City
  5. "Guatmo" = Guantanamo Bay
  6. "Nav Yd" = Navy Yard

NOTE - arrival and departure for Los Angeles is the port of San Pedro

CREATING THE CALENDAR:

Created the calendar months with Calendar Creator 7.0.  Each month is saved as a bitmap then converted to a 2bit GIF

1 Sep 2002: Converted file format to GIF.  Smaller file size then JPG and better image quality
