The Christening of The Major General Robert Smalls by MBM (created on )Gallery | Comments 
These are some pics from the christening of the Major General Robert Smalls. This ship was named after my great great grandfather. He was the first black person to captain a navy ship and the most senior officer in the navy during the civil war. This ship is the first Army ship to be named after a civil war era person and an African American.

I was supposed to be the speaker at the event representing our family but couldn't go because of surgery the week before for a ruptured Achilles.
