Author(s): Jessica L Clark
Year: 2022
Summary
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
"WWI and the Philadelphia Navy Yard: Modernization of the US Navy," was completed as a public education and outreach initiative for the Philadelphia Navy Yard Annex by Ohio Valley Archaeology, Inc. through the National Park Service's Teaching with Historic Places program. The program highlights NRHP-listed properties across the US, and connects them to state and national curricula. This lesson targets middle through high school age learners and encourages them to think critically about maritime technologies and the impetuses for their development, soldiers in France who departed from Philadelphia, enlistment trends among soldiers, and the impact of the 1918 flu pandemic on the navy yard and the city of Philadelphia.
