Thanks to a new federal employee identification program, the Alabama State Port Authority continues to safely maintain and operate the harbors, seaports and waterway systems in the state. TWIC, or Transportation Worker Identification Credential, uses physical characteristics to provide enhanced security and access control to secure areas. TWIC is a joint program of the U.S. Coast Guard and the Transportation Security Administration. The Coast Guard will monitor TWIC procedures on U.S.-regulated vessels and facilities, while TSA handles enroll-ment, security threat assessment, card production and issuance of the TWIC. The security program was designed to meet legislative provisions set out in the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and the Safety and Account-ability for Every (SAFE) Port Act. The program’s goal is to ensure that any individual who has unescorted access to secure areas of port facilities and vessels has received a thorough background check and is not a security threat.

“ASPA strongly supports the implementation of TWIC for maritime workers and believes it will be an important enhancement of our current security sys-tem,” said James K. Lyons, director and CEO of the Authority. “Providing a federal card that includes a terrorist background check of workers will provide an added layer of security for our access control system.”

The TSA opened its TWIC enrollment center on Dec. 4, providing a central-ized process center to port and longshore workers, truckers and others who must gain access to restricted facilities within the Port of Mobile, including all of the Alabama State Port Authority’s marine terminals. It is estimated that

James M. Walker, Jr., Director, Alabama Department of Homeland Security, enrolling for his TWIC. The Alabama State Port Authority and Department of Homeland Security collaborate on port security programs. Alabama Homeland Security under Mr. Walker's leadership has been instrumental in securing over $3.5 million for port security programs.

approximately 15,000 port and transportation workers in the Mobile region will be required to carry the TWIC. Mobile is one of 23 ports to begin enrollment in the TWIC program. Nationwide, more than one million workers will apply for TWIC in 2007 and 2008.

“A tremendous amount of planning and work has been done collectively by TSA, the Coast Guard, port owners/operators, employee groups and other stakeholders in preparation for this critical phase of the TWIC program,” said Coast Guard Captain Ed Stanton. “The Coast Guard is committed to working closely with TSA and our local industry partners during the enrollment and compliance phases of the TWIC program to assure a suc-cessful transition with minimal disruption to port operations.”

The TWIC card, which is approximately the size of a credit card, uses “smart card” technology to verify the worker’s iden-tity and background information to the personal, biometric information stored on the card. The card stores the holder’s name and digital photograph, fingerprint templates of two fingers, finger pattern templates of two fingers, the holder’s personal identification number and federal agency Smart Cre-dential number, as well as the TWIC expiration date. If at the reader, that data doesn’t match the individual’s fingerprint, the card cannot be used. The tamper-proof identification card is universally accepted across the transportation system, creates a national standard for worker identification and is consistent with Homeland Security directives.

“Every one of our employees will be enrolled for TWIC. Every-one who needs to get on the docks to work is going to have to have a TWIC — that includes UPS, FedEx, meter readers from Alabama Power, pretty much everybody,” said Hal Hudgins, vice president of port planning and security for the Authority. “Those who don’t have a TWIC are federal and state officers who come on the docks in the normal performance of their duties: Coast Guard, Mobile Police, Mobile Fire & Rescue, Customs, Immigration.”

At the Port of Mobile, the TWIC contractor has been onsite since early November and has hired local workers to staff the enrollment center. “There are six enrollment stations set up at the International Trade Center,” said Hudgins. “We’ve advised

about pre-registering and setting up appointments. The site is open for scheduling appointments. Five hundred have sched-uled so far. The site will be open five days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with appointments for 20 minute intervals.” Cost for the identification card is $132.50. In early December, Port Au-thority, State and business leaders enrolled in the TWIC pro-gram, including Lyons and retired Congressman Sonny Calla-han, who serves on the Port Authority’s board of directors, as well as Alabama Department of Homeland Security Director Jim Walker; Senior Vice President of Shaw GBB LLC Stan Gottlieb; Mike Cameron, vice president of operations for ship-ping giant, International Shipholding Corporation; and Mike Lee, president of Page and Jones, a full service ship agency and freight forwarding firm.

“The start of enrollment is one more step in our effort to pre-vent persons who are a threat from gaining access to secure areas of port facilities,” said Maurine Fanguy, TWIC program director for TSA. “We appreciate the support of our partners at Port of Mobile for helping to make one of the world’s most advance interoperable biometric systems a reality.”

One of the challenges for a project this broad is the time re-quired. “The math is pretty straight forward: 15,000 workers times 20 minutes,” Hudgins explained. “You can see how long it will take. The enrollment center will be open through March or April.” After the general port population is enrolled, the local Coast Guard captain of the port issues a note in the Federal Register stating a 90-day deadline to comply with TWIC. “It’s not a fixed date,” said Hudgins. “Enforcement begins after en-rollment is complete. We expect the compliance date to be in the summer. It’s going to take a while.”

The TWIC application process begins with an online pre-enrollment to fill out the biographical information enrollment application, as well as schedule an appointment to complete the application process at an enrollment center. Once at the enrollment center, the applicant provides personal information for the security threat assessment and credential, provides 10

fingerprints and has a digital photo taken. The security threat assessment provides a criminal history check based on the applicant’s fingerprints, the applicant’s immigration status and an intelligence-related check which looks at potential ties to terrorist groups or activities.

On enrollment, employees must provide proof of identity, such as a U.S. Passport, a U.S. Certificate of Citizenship, a Voter’s Registration Card, a U.S. Social Security Card, a Civil Mar-riage Certificate or a Merchant Mariner License. Additionally, applicants sign a disclosure form. If a worker is denied during the TWIC enrollment process due to information gained from the security threat assessment, TSA may alert the employer that the employee was denied, but provides no information as to why that decision was made.

For those applying for a TWIC, there are two categories of disqualifying activities: permanent and interim. Permanent disqualifying criminal offences include espionage, sedition or treason, improper transportation of hazardous materials, mur-der, and unlawful possession, use, sale, distribution, purchase, shipping, transportation or manufacture of an explosive or ex-plosive device. Interim disqualifying criminal offences include smuggling, extortion, immigration violations, arson, robbery, kidnapping, rape or aggravated assault during a specified time period prior to the date of TWIC application. There is an ap-peals process for those denied a TWIC.

Compliance with the new identification program has been smooth and no problems are anticipated. “They’ve been pretty positive so far,” said Hudgins. “We haven’t heard a lot of grumbling from the workforce, as they’re accustomed to credentialing. It’s similar to the credentialing program we’ve offered for five years. The process has also benefited from Lockheed Martin’s very good planning and their cooperation with port management.”

Prior to the development of TWIC, the Port Authority’s own increased security included a formal Access Policy that in-corporated digital fingerprint-based credentialing and a criminal background check through local and regional law enforcement agencies. The Authority had also fenced the perimeter of the main complex, installed a CCTV system and improved lighting. Since August 2002, ASPA issued more than 10,000 credentials and required all port credential applicants to complete a mandatory security training class. “The Authority’s security program efforts appear to be pay-ing off, as we have raised security awareness amongst our employees and port users and we’ve prepared this port for a smooth transition to the TWIC,” said Hudgins. o

To most, Tuscaloosa has always been a town with a national reputation of legendary football.

What most people don’t know about this emerging city is that Expansion Management magazine named Tuscaloosa as one of the top 50 “Hottest Cities in America” for expanding and re-locating companies, and Forbes magazine listed the city among the best places in the nation to start and grow a business.

Tuscaloosa is strategically located in the heart of one the most productive and emerging regions in North America, the Southeast. This quaint town can be referred to as the I-20/59 Corridor which includes Birmingham, the largest city in Alabama. The Tuscaloosa and Birmingham metropolitan areas have a combined population of more than 1.1 million and a combined civilian labor force of 600,000.

The city’s interstate system is advantageously placed to pro-vide access to all major markets and ten percent of the nation’s navigable waterways helping to facilitate major investments by companies from France, Germany, Japan, Italy, the United Kingdom and Canada, including Mercedes-Benz and Honda.

“This town has experienced strong growth in the last decade and has put a great amount of investment into infrastructure,” said Dara Longgrear, executive director of the Tuscaloosa County In-dustrial Development Authority. “I am sure in the next ten years the architectural aspect of Tuscaloosa will be quite different.”

TUscALoosAWhere strong industry meets strong football.

Tuscaloosa has been recognized by Money magazine in its annual list of the "best places to live" in the U.S.


Located in Tuscaloosa County, Mercedes-Benz U.S. Interna-tional’s (MBUSI) manufacturing plant in Vance is where the M-Class and the newest members of the company’s line, the R-Class and GL-Class, are assembled, painted and shipped.

MBUSI is responsible for more than 10,000 direct and indirect jobs in the region and has an annual economic impact of more than 1.5 billion. The plant is the state’s largest exporter, with more than $1 billion exported each year to countries around the world. MBUSI’s economic impact is only expected to in-crease when the plant is producing at full capacity.

“I can say first hand that our success is due to the strength of our team members and the great support we’ve received from the state and our local communities,” said Bill Taylor, president and CEO of MBUSI as stated on MBUSI.com. “It is no surprise that, today Alabama has several automotive manufacturers and hundreds of suppliers. I am sure they too found that Alabama has a strong workforce and is a great place to do business.”

The automotive industry has become a significant manu-facturing segment in the local region due to the location of Mercedes-Benz, Honda and other automotive component producers, establishing the area as a developing automotive “hot spot.”

As the city of Tuscaloosa and its industry continues to culti-vate, so does the University of Alabama's campus and football stadium. The University enrolls more than 23,000 students each year in undergraduate and graduate programs and has built 10 new academic buildings in the last three years. Along with the increase in the number of students naturally comes the need for a bigger football stadium as it has boasted sell-outs at all home games since 1988.

Bryant-Denny Stadium recently underwent a $47 million ex-pansion project increasing its capacity to 92,138 making it the seventh largest on-campus football stadium in the nation and the fifth largest in the Southeastern Conference.

The expansion project, begun just after the 2004 football sea-son and completed in 2006, added three levels of premium seating, a pair of large video scoreboards in the north end zone and state-of-the-art, wrap-around display boards situated on the facades of the east and west upper decks.

Not surprising, the President of the University of Alabama (UA) Robert Witt said the University is already in the preliminary

planning phase to conduct another expansion, according to an article by the Tuscaloosa News.

According to Witt, the growth of the student body could make a stadium expansion and other campus improvements neces-sary. It would be the fourth time in roughly the last 20 years that the stadium would be expanded and would most likely increase the capacity to approximately 100,000 seats.

“We’re looking at ideas to recommend to the board [of trust-ees],” said Mal Moore, athletic director of UA to DeWitt. “But any plans for the expansion for Bryant-Denny Stadium remain in the exploratory phase.”

According to the publication, UA’s Five-Year Facilities Devel-opment Plan lists a stadium expansion as a possible project. The plan put a price tag at $50 million.

Bryant-Denny Stadium's latest improvements included the plaza outside the north end zone, luxury boxes and other amenities.

The MBUSI factory is located on approxi-mately 1000 acres, and every vehicle built in the facility is for an order from one of 135 worldwide markets.

One group makes safeguarding the Tennessee River and the Tennessee River Valley its mission. Organized in 1967 by a group of citizens from the region who felt the need for a non-partisan organization that could serve as a unified voice, the Tennessee River Valley Association (TRVA) promotes the re-gion, its interests and resources.

The Tennessee River’s main navigable channel is 652 miles long and begins a mile above Knoxville, Tennessee, flowing southwest through east Tennessee toward Chattanooga be-fore crossing into Alabama. It loops through northern Alabama and eventually forms a small part of the state's border with Mississippi, before returning to Tennessee – one of a very few rivers in the U.S. that leave a state and then re-enter it. It even-tually empties into the Ohio River at Paducah, Ky. Commercial navigation also extends into three major tributaries: 61 miles up the Clinch River, 29 miles up the Little Tennessee River, and 21 miles up the Hiwassee River. Another 375 miles of channel – too shallow for commercial traffic – is marked for recreational boaters.

“For the Tennessee River Valley to really do well it is necessary to work together, across city, county and state lines on issues, projects, opportunities and legislation affecting the entire re-gion,” explained Executive Director Jan Jones.

The TRVA is a non-profit organization serving Alabama, Ken-tucky, Mississippi, Tennessee and the valley portions of Geor-gia, North Carolina and Virginia. TRVA members come from all walks of life representing business and industry, transpor-tation, financial services, education, chambers of commerce, city/county/state governments, trade associations, recreation, agriculture, news media and private citizens.

The organization's main interest is promoting the development of economic projects along the Tennessee River and providing support for specific capital outlay projects, such as lock addi-tions and replacements,

The state of Alabama has more than 1,500 miles of navigable waterways which provide cost effective and energy efficient transportation for raw material producers, manufacturers, farmers, businesses, suppliers and other shippers located throughout the state and the Southeast. In 2005, Alabama was ranked 13th in waterway tonnage, up from 16th in 2002, according to statistics from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center. Some 78 million tons were shipped that year, of which about 60 percent were domestic shipments.

“The Tennessee River has a tremendous economic impact,” Jones explained.

Barges from the Tennessee River can head several directions in the United States after entering the Ohio River. The Ohio provides a vital commercial link for industrial and agricultural interests in the Midwest, and barges on the river carry prod-ucts such as coal, steel, crops, chemicals and petroleum. The Ohio River empties into the Mississippi River which runs north to Minnesota and south to New Orleans. It also connects to the Missouri River, opening up the Midwest to barge traffic.

After the completion of one of the largest navigational improve-ment projects in the U.S., vessels traveling the Tennessee River can also now take a shortcut to the Gulf of Mexico via the Ten-nessee-Tombigbee Waterway. A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project providing navigation on the Tombigbee River and a link to the Port of Mobile, the Tenn-Tom enters the Tennessee River near the Tennessee-Alabama-Mississippi boundary. This wa-terway reduces the navigation distance from Tennessee, north Alabama and northern Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico by hun-dreds of miles.

“With the opportunities we see at the Port of Mobile, such as the new container facilities, we've got to improve our op-portunities to utilize our waterway system,” said Jones. “TRVA believes water transportation is the only source that is being underutilized in the U.S. We aren’t building new rail lines or new roads and yet traffic continues to increase.”

TRVA promotes water transportation as an economic way to move cargo. One barge can move as much cargo as 60 large trucks or 15 rail cars. With fuel being a critical component in

Before TVA established Chickamauga Dam and reservoir and other reservoirs above Chattanooga, the city had one of the most serious flood problems in the nation. Now the river which threatened the city contributes to its economy as a major artery for barge traffic.


the nation’s economy, the fuel efficiency of water traffic can’t be beat. One gallon of fuel will move one ton of freight for 500 miles by barge, 200 miles by rail or 60 miles by truck.

The Tennessee River system is jointly managed by the Tennes-see Valley Authority (TVA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers. There are 15 lock chambers on the Tennessee River.

“We take special interest in capital outlay projects on the Ten-nessee River such as lock additions and improvements,” Jones said. The two main projects currently underway are the addi-tion of a second and larger lock at the Kentucky dam, and the replacement of the deteriorating lock at Chickamauga. The Kentucky Lock is a high traffic lock. Much like a traffic in-tersection, tows must wait for their turn to pass thru the lock system which can take many hours. The addition of a second lock at the Kentucky dam will allow for more traffic and larger barges to pass through the locks in a much quicker and ef-ficient manner.

The Chickamauga Lock has significant structural problems. The project will replace the old lock with a new and much larger lock. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have estimated that the Chickamauga Lock can continue to operate until 2010 if adequate maintenance and repair work is performed on an annual basis. The closure of the lock would cut off 313 miles of navigable waterways on the upper Tennessee River. The 110-foot by 600-foot replacement lock can accommodate nine jumbo barges in one lockage and will dramatically improve navigation on the Tennessee River.

“The problem with these projects,” explained Jones, “is that they are very long term projects. The funding must be ap-proved from year to year. Significant cuts can slow down or shut down projects entirely. Both of these projects are vital to improving the traffic on the Tennessee River. It is important to support the efforts to complete these projects and that is where TRVA steps in.”

The TRVA regularly meets with local, state and federal agen-cies, including the Tennessee Valley Authority and the United

States Army Corps of Engineers, which jointly manage the Tennessee River System. They contact members of Congress regarding issues directly affecting the Tennessee River Valley, testify before Congressional committees, conduct public meet-ings, seminars and presentations, and publish newsletters and informational materials to inform and educate the community.

The organization is a charter member of the Coalition of Ala-bama Waterways Associations and, along with other Alabama Waterways Associations and the Alabama State Port Author-ity, promotes port and waterways projects and programs to benefit the state’s river basins, industries, carriers and other users of the ports and waterways.

The TRVA believes that the development of this region is di-rectly attributable to the wise and effective use of its water resources. Today our navigable waterways provide a new dimension to inland transportation. Thousands of industries have invested billions of dollars along the waterways that have directly created thousands of jobs and indirectly created jobs for many more in related industries and service sector. Many other industries and jobs throughout the region and nation de-pend on the effective performance of our inland waterways. Waterway transportation is an environmentally-friendly, safe method of transportation to move large quantities of raw ma-terials, finished products, bulk materials and liquids. With the growing containerized freight industry, waterways can provide an excellent, cost-effective mode of transporting containers.

The waterways, including the Tennessee River, also offer an advantage to shippers who must transfer oversized cargo from one place to another. Often, it would be difficult to impossible to transfer such items via road or rail.

“One such example,” said Jones, “are the rocket boosters built in Decatur, Ala., by Boeing. They are far too large to ship any other way except by water. It was really incredible to see,” she added. The Rocket boosters where shipped by barge down the Tennessee River, down the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico and then, finally, around to Cape Canaveral.

The TRVA believes that water transportation can only grow in the years to come and as it does, the Tennessee River Valley Association will be there to do all it can to make its region successful. o

Products from 20 states pass through the system of Kentucky and nearby Barkley locks, the lowermost locks on the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, respectively. Traffic levels are expected to increase in the future, and an additional 1,200-ft-long by 110-ft-wide lock is projected to be necessary to satisfy future capacity requirements. Ground was broken on the project in 1999 and is expected to be completed in 2011 pending continuous funding by the U.S. Congress.

The Alabama State Port Au-thority and Terminal Railroad proudly welcome James "Jim-my" Powell home after a year-long deployment to Iraq. Petty Officer 2nd Class Powell's unit, Navy Marine Construc-tion Battalion 28 commonly referred to as "Seabees", returned from a year-long deployment as part of Task Force Sierra in Baghdad.

Powell said that being away from his wife, two sons, Matt and Scotty, and not being home to decorate their yard for his wife Robin's 40th

birthday was the hardest thing he ever had to do. However, with the support and prayers from his family and fellow TRR employees, he was able to make it.

"I'd really like to thank everyone from the docks, with special thanks to all my friends and co-workers who offered to help me and my family during my absence,” he said. “They have no idea

how much I appreciate everything that was done for me and my family while I was away."

Powell said they stayed very busy in Iraq. “We worked al-most every single day and there was really no reason not to,” he said. “Staying busy helped the days pass faster and we wanted to leave things better for our replacements.”

Powell served as crew leader for a group of Seabees build-ing a weapons training range near Baghdad. The facility was an extremely large outdoor complex that could be used to train all types of Iraqi Security Forces. o

Celebrating its eleventh year, the Alabama Dance Festival will be held in studios and theaters through-

out Birmingham Jan. 17 through Jan. 20. This year’s theme, “Crossing Boundaries,” highlights the har-

mony between the multiple disciplines to create dance performance. The three-day festival is an opportu-nity to inspire performing arts students as well as the public with world-class per-formances and workshops.

“Originally, it began as an annual conference for the Alabama Dance Council,” said Rosemary Johnson, executive director of the Alabama Dance Council. “Now, it is much more than that. It is really a festival

for everyone.”

To showcase the theme, Bridgman Packer Dance will be one of the main attractions. The national touring com-pany was chosen to perform their unique combination of live performance and video technology throughout the festival at the University of Alabama-Birmingham’s Alys Stephens Cen-ter. Additionally, the group will hold school lecture demonstra-tions called “Making Dance; Making Video” to give performing arts students a first-hand experience of dance, video, perfor-mance and the creative process.

“The male/female duo company integrates video technology with live performance. Using different video projection tech-niques, they are able to dance with their own images and use their body as screens,” explains Johnson. “Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between the performers and the dancing images on screen.”

A third component to the performance is the music created for each dance piece, which was commissioned as original scores by three different composers – Robert Een, Ken Field and Glen Velez. All three composers will be performing at this year’s festival.

Not only is the festival committed to crossing the multidis-ciplinary boundaries within the performing arts, but it is also committed to bringing the arts to the entire Alabama communi-ty. A much anticipated addition to the festival is “Dance Across Birmingham: A Community Celebration,” providing free dance classes for all ages at any level.

“We wanted to give anyone in the community a chance to come and experience dance, even if they have never taken a class,” said Johnson. “We’ve invited local artists to teach com-munity classes for beginners on all types of dance from African dance, salsa, hip hop and ballroom to introductory tap, praise dance and even creative movement for pre-schoolers.”

“Dance Across Birmingham” classes will be held Saturday, Jan. 19 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the North meeting rooms of the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Center. Individuals from the community are welcome to take up to four classes. This commu-nity portion of the festival will culminate with a performance by the teachers of the classes at 12:30 p.m. Free and open to the public, “Dance Across Birmingham” is an exciting key to cross-ing the community boundary at the Alabama Dance Festival.

Offering master classes to students of the performing arts is still a primary focus of the Alabama Dance Festival. The Alabama Dance Council works very hard throughout the year to secure master teachers to serve as the festival’s faculty. Some of this year’s faculty include: Leslie Browne, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role opposite Mikhail Baryshnikov in the feature film “The Turning Point”; Robert Battle, a graduate from the Julliard School and honored at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts with a medal proclaiming him one of the “Masters of African-American Choreography;” Bill Evans, artistic director of the Bill Evans Dance Company for 30 years; and Vincent Thomas, artistic director of VTDance.

The Alabama Dance Festival culminates with the Alabama Dance Showcase. The performance features dance compa-nies in all genres of dance across the state where everyone can enjoy the diversity of Alabama’s dance community.

“This year we are thrilled to present 28 dance companies from all over the state,” stated Johnson. “That’s a marathon!”

The Alabama Dance Festival has come a long way from its roots as a dance summit for members of the Ala-bama Dance Council. The festival has traveled from Tuscaloosa to Montgomery to its present location in Birmingham. Holding its fifth year in Birmingham, the festival has become a premier event in the state of Alabama. Wheth-er you are a pre-professional dancer wanting to take master classes, a pre-schooler interested in ballet, an adult wanting to try ballroom dancing or just want to enjoy performances by national and local artists, the Alabama Dance Festival has something for everyone to enjoy.

WE CAN HANDLE ITMOBILE CONTAINER TERMINAL OPERATIONAL 2008


Though chiefly remembered and celebrated for his diary, which records in minute detail life in 17th century London, Samuel Pepys also made an indelible impression on the Royal Navy, fighting corruption and contributing in no small measure to the supremacy that the service would come to enjoy.

Pepys came from a humble background; his father was a tai-lor, his mother the sister of a Whitechapel butcher; but Pepys owed his introduction to London society to connections to the Montagu family. Pepys' great aunt Paulina had married Sir Sid-ney Montagu, whose son, Edward, would prove to be Samu-el's benefactor and patron.

Pepys received a scholarship to attend Magdalene College, Cambridge, receiving his B.A. in 1653 and an M.A. in 1661 – five years after his marriage to 16-year-old Elizabeth Marchant St. Michel, the daughter of a French Huguenot refugee.

Pepys first found employment as a clerk to George Downing, a teller of the Exchequer (for whom Downing Street would be named). While working for Downing, Pepys began his famous diary on January 1, 1660, recording his thoughts and obser-vations on not only the great events of the day but also the most intimate details of his own life. In March, Pepys became

secretary to his cousin, Sir Edward Montagu, who, as General-at-Sea, served as commander of the English Navy.

Montagu took Pepys with him on board the 80-gun NASEBY to bring home the exiled King Charles II. Pepys' first impres-sion of the monarch was of "a very sober man." The king lost no time in changing the names of the warships; the NASEBY was re-christened the ROYAL CHARLES, and it was King Charles II who added the prefix "Royal" to the navy. It is ironic that the commoner Pepys – at one time, like Montagu, an ardent sup-porter of Cromwell – should have become a confidant of royalty

and move with ease among the highest social circles of England, but Samuel Pepys was no ordinary man.

In July 1660, Montagu was created first Earl of Sandwich, and through his patronage, Pepys was appointed that same month as clerk of the king's ships or clerk of the acts of the navy, more popularly known as "clerk of the acts." As such, the 27-year-old became a member of the four-man Navy Board charged with the admin-istration of the Royal Navy. In addition to clerk of the acts, the other officers on the board included a treasurer, controller and a surveyor.

The young clerk quickly discovered the value of his new posi-tion. His salary had been set at $300 a year; less than a month after taking office, Pepys was offered $1,000 to sell his seat on the board. He just as quickly discovered that the navy was $1 million in debt and riddled with corruption. Bribery was ex-pected by officials, price gouging ignored. Naval stores were routinely plundered by sailors and dockworkers alike and sold for profit. The officer ranks were largely inept – anyone with enough money could purchase a commission – and the sailors generally represented the dregs of society, rounded up in the street by press gangs.

Pepys had a taste of bribery his very first day in office, when a woman presented him with $5 in silver to use his influence on behalf of her husband. The clerk soon found that he was mak-ing an average of $3 a day above and beyond his salary. While this smacks of the very corruption that Pepys would work dili-gently to rid the Navy of, he was a man of his times, and in 17th century England it was not deemed unethical for one to use his position for personal gain.

Samuel Pepys Naval Reformer

Of Men & Ships

Samuel Pepys has been described as the first modern civil servant.

Pepys enjoyed life. He was a lover of the arts and mu-sic especially. We know that he once had been chastised at university for ex-cessive drinking, and in 1662, Sir William Coventry described Pepys as "the life of the navy office." For a while

Pepys was content to enjoy the perks of his office the small gifts, his official residence at the Navy Office in Seething Lane – and the sometimes riotous companionship of his col-leagues, Admiral Sir William Batten and Admiral Sir William Penn. Sometime in 1662, however, Pepys began to take his position more seriously.

In July 1662, Pepys hired a tutor to teach him the multiplica-tion tables, and he began to learn the details of his office with equal diligence. He went down to Deptford to see for himself the provisioning of the fleet, and realized for the first time "the great authority" that he held. Pepys haunted Thames Street, stopping in at shops to determine “the price of tar and oil...” It was his determination, he wrote, “to save the King money by this practice. “He discovered immediately that the Navy was being overcharged for its provisions, citing the example of flagmakers who charged threepence a yard too much. Pepys threw himself into his work and could often be found in his of-fice by four a.m.

Pepys made a study of hemp and of tim-ber, and soon he was not merely recording contracts for the Navy Board but negotiat-ing them himself. The clerk of the acts was soon recognized as the expert on Navy pro-

visions, and he was saving the Royal Navy money on every contract he wrote. But Pepys did not limit his work to negoti-ating and writing contracts. At his direction, victualling of the fleet was improved. He called frequently at the dockyards, de-manding oversight, personally introducing more efficient work methods and doing what he could to root out laziness and incompetence.

Pepys' reforms eventually would address the officer corps of the Royal Navy. Through his efforts, naval officers were placed on a professional footing: to qualify as a midshipman, a candidate had to have two years’ experience at sea; a lieutenant had to have three years of service – at least one of them as a midship-man – and be able to pass an examination on seamanship.

His diligence did not go unnoticed or unrewarded. In addition to his position as clerk of the acts, the Earl of Sandwich had Pepys appointed a clerk of the privy seal, and he also became a justice of the peace, just two of several additional offices that he was to hold. Pepys was appointed an assistant of the cor-poration of the royal fishing, presided over by the Duke of York, who was also Lord High Admiral of the Royal Navy. The Duke later made Pepys treasurer of the fisheries commission.

The value of Pepys' contributions were readily apparent dur-ing the Second Dutch War of 1665-1667, when he worked diligently to meet the Navy's needs. George Monck, the Duke of Albemarle, at this time dubbed Pepys "the right hand of the navy," and rightly so. He stayed at his post as the Black Plague swept through London, remarking to Sir William Coventry, "You took your turn of the sword; I must not grudge to take mine

of the pestilence." In addition, it was Pepys who had the presence of mind to save the Navy Office during the Great Fire of London in September 1666, which he described thusly:

We saw the fire as only one entire arch from this to the other side of the bridge, and in a bow up the hill for an arch of above a mile long; it made me weep to see it. The churches, houses, and all on fire and flaming at once; and a horrid noise the flames made, and the cracking of houses at their ruin.


King Charles II appointed Pepys as “clerk of the acts” in 1660.

Navy dockyards of the time were rife with corruption.


In the midst of the confusion and de-struction, Pepys convinced Sir Wil-liam Penn to bring workmen from the dockyard and have them knock down the houses between the spreading conflagration and the Navy Office, thus sparing it from certain destruction and helping to put out the fire.

Despite Pepys' work, a Parliamentary committee was estab-lished to look into charges of mismanagement of the Navy. Pepys testified before the committee and later delivered a stir-ring three hour defense of the Board's work before the full House of Commons. Afterwards, Pepys received hearty con-gratulations, and the proposed impeachments were dropped. Based on his success and the kind words of the members, Pepys now began to consider his future in politics.

Pepys obtained a leave of absence and traveled to France and the Netherlands to make a study of the foreign navies. Upon his return to London, Pepys found his wife ill with fever. Elizabeth died in November 1669 at the age of 29. During her illness, the Duke of York and Lord Henry Howard (later Duke of Norfolk) had been laboring to get Pepys elected to Parlia-ment. But unable to campaign or attend the election, Pepys was defeated.

In 1672, the Earl of Sandwich was killed in action during the Third Dutch War, and the following year the Duke of York was forced to resign as Lord High Admiral, due to his conversion to Catholicism. A new Commission of Admiralty was established, and Pepys was appointed secretary for the affairs of the navy in June 1673. That November he was elected to Parliament, repre-senting Castle Rising. Both in Parliament and at the Admiralty, Pepys worked as hard as ever for the next six years to rid the Navy of corruption. One of his signal achievements was the lay-ing down of 30 ships of the line, helping to restore the balance of power among England, France and the Netherlands. Pepys

also established a classification sys-tem for naval war-ships, based on the number of guns and complement of men.

Pepys was reelected to Parliament as a Member from Har-wich in 1679, but his reform efforts had earned Pepys a number of powerful en-emies. After successfully defending his clerk on trumped up charges of being an accessory to murder, Pepys found himself charged with providing information to the French and being involved in the "Popish Plot." Pepys was subsequently placed in the Tower of London. Charles II dissolved the Parliament for a year and a half, during which time Pepys had sufficient time to prepare his defense. His accusers were thoroughly discred-ited, and at least one fled the country.

Pepys next accompanied the Earl of Dartmouth to Tangier in 1683 to evacuate the English garrison and destroy the build-ings there. Charles II had become Lord High Admiral, and in 1684, Pepys was reappointed secretary of affairs of the Admiralty, with an annual salary of $2,000. That same year he was elected president of the Royal Society and reelected the following year.

Pepys attended the coronation of King James II as a baron of the Cinque Ports, and in May 1685, he was returned to Parlia-ment for Harwich. He continued his secretariat at the Admiralty,

working to undo the inefficiency and corruption that had crept back in the Service during his absence. In 1686, Pepys received a special commission "for the Recovery of the Navy."

29

Pepys visited dockyards frequently – as well as the shops that supplied the Navy – becoming an expert in his field.

During the great Fire of London, Pepys managed to protect the Navy Office from destruction.


Following the flight of King James from Eng-land in 1689, Pepys retired from office. His enemies once more attempted to smear Pepys' good name, but he had established a reputation for honesty and was largely above reproach, recognized as one of Lon-don's leading citizens. His intimate friends in-cluded the luminaries of London society: Sir Isaac Newton, Dr. Edmond Halley, the poet John Dryden, the architect Sir Christopher Wren, and leading musicians, art-ists, actors and actresses. Despite his powerful connections, Pepys was largely a self-made man, having applied himself to the Herculean task of reform in an era and a Service noted for corruption. When he took office, the Royal Navy had con-sisted of 30 ships of the line shipping 1,730 guns. At the time of his retirement, the Navy could boast of 59 ships of the line shipping 4,492 guns. More than merely increasing the size of the Navy, Samuel Pepys had imbued the Royal Navy with a tradition of professionalism and discipline.

Samuel Pepys died on May 26, 1703, having, in the words of an Oxford orator, "encompassed Britain with wooden walls" – the bulwarks of the finest navy the world had ever known. o

Under his direction, 30 ships of the line were built during Pepys’ tenure.

Pepys’ anti-corruption efforts earned him powerful enemies – and a turn in the Tower of London before he was ultimately cleared of wrongdoing.

With the flight of King James II, Pepys’ long and distinguished career of public service came to an end.

The World Trade Committee of the Mobile Chamber of Commerce hosted the annual reception for the consuls of Mobile. The members of the reception filled the stairway of the Crystal Ball Room of the Sheraton-Battle House.

The steamer Edgar F. Luckenbach, of the Luckenbach Line, was chartered by the Waterman Steamship Corporation and sailed on one round trip from the east gulf to the United Kingdom and Continental Europe. Fourteen Mobile Oceanic Line steamers were actively engaged in this trans-Atlantic trade.

This was the scene at the Port of the Alabama State Docks being built in 1928. Most all of the vessels in the Port then were sailing schooners and, as shown here, lum-ber was the major cargo
