Vindicated naval lieutenant finally honored after 137 years
The great grandson of a court martialed 1812 naval lieutenant, who died in 1874, will receive a renewed commission today in a 137 year vindication. Electus D Litchfield, a 1900s architect, presents a restoration certificate for William Cox, who served as a 21 year old third lieutenant aboard the U S frigate Chesapeake and was blamed for the loss of the ship after the battle with HMS Shannon near Boston. The case sparked pleas to Presidents Roosevelt, and Congress passed the act to reverse the court martial in July.
