My great-great-great-great grandfather died in the Civil War. Here is his story: Samuel Williams came to Passamaquoddy, Maine aboard a ship called King Phillip, not the clipper by the way, in the 1840s. He had several children including my 3rd Great Grandfather, Nathaniel Wilson Williams. In 1863, he joined the 12th Maine Regiment as a sailor, and while his ship was sinking during the Siege of New Orleans, he tried to lift a barrel of pork, but he broke his back, as he was 50 years old. He became a sailing master, but the back injury was too much. He was honorably discharged for his injury, but he died in October 1864, with his wife Arvilla and his children surrounding him. Arvilla received a pension and died in 1912. He is buried in Sebago, Maine.
This was in honor of the 154th anniversary of Lee's Surrender.
I just wanted to share his story. People just liked it, I guess. @exosuit
Hmm. Look up “Mayflower ship plans’ on google. @MegaFox
I couldn’t access the photos you sent me.
@JamesBleriot
Using your great great great great grandfather to get upvotes y tho
I believe it was because food rations were in short supply for the troops. @Mostly
Bless the man who carried the bacon off the ship for the crew. True hustler.
Oh....
It wasn’t that one either. He came over before they got big in the Boston area. @MegaFox
Lol I meant his ship
I am inspired to build an Ethiopian 737 MAX @BlackhattAircraft
That’s really cool man. I need to do some family history for my Civil War Veterans.
@RailfanEthan My family is from Lewiston/Auburn Area. My grandmother was born there then moved in '40.
yo ik where sebago is, they got a nice restaurant named after their lake
@JamesBleriot The reason why you havent been getting upvotes is basically because you jist modify builds that have different part counts, but have features that people dont want/need or dont really add anything new. Most people, dont like when people do stuff like this so they dont upvote it, about airplanes not flying, just try try again, it might take a while but you will get the hand of building planes, dont give up.
I guess i will be become the site's sign maker then. @BlackhattAircraft
@BlackhattAircraft Nothing i build can fly.
@JamesBleriot so work to improve!

@DemonSniper8 I am not good at building. The most upvotes I ever got was 2.
Pro tip: post more builds than forums ;) it gets annoying seeing someone will little shown skill posting so many forums ;)
It’s it this?
