Trial of the Monongahela Demonstrates Pigeon Messengers Value
The US gunboat Monongahela under Captain Chester arrives at Gardiner's Bay from Annapolis with three classes of naval cadets for summer cruise. An experiment using messenger pigeons from the Naval Academy loft shows birds released daily from Annapolis delivering messages back home quickly, with the last bird reaching Norfolk area 200 miles from Annapolis. Officers say the messenger system could become an important feature of naval stations and coast cruising warships.
