Prison on Seaveys Island not suited for Navy institute
Aide to the naval secretary says converting idle Seaveys Island Prison, known as The Castle, into the Naval Oceanographic Institute headquarters would be prohibitive. The Castle, in operation since 1905 as a maximum security prison, closed last June. The idea was urged by retired Cmdr John Hallett. Ferneau met Navy Secretary Middendorf in Kittery during a bicentennial visit. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Maine, near Kittery, built the first American warships including Ranger under Continental Congress authorization in 1775.
