Buckner Paddled to Annapolis Proving Seafaring Strength
Naval Academy lore recalls General Simon Bolivar Buckner Jr dying at Okinawa while leading troops to victory. In 1936 Vice Admiral Robert E. Giffen, then director of athletics, was approached by Buckner at the sea wall in a kayak. Buckner, commandant of cadets at West Point and a friend of Giffen, had paddled from West Point to Annapolis en route to Fort Monroe. Annapolis seamen cite that voyage as proof of Buckner's strength and confidence.
