Port Incorporates
New Universal Security
Credentialing Program
Thanks to a new federal employee
identification program, the Alabama State
Port Authority continues to safely maintain
and operate the harbors, seaports and waterway
systems in the state. TWIC, or Transportation
Worker Identification Credential, uses physical
characteristics to provide enhanced security and
access control to secure areas. TWIC is a joint
program of the U.S. Coast Guard and the
Transportation Security Administration. The Coast Guard will monitor TWIC
procedures on U.S.-regulated vessels and facilities, while TSA handles enrollment, security threat assessment, card production and issuance of the TWIC.
The security program was designed to meet legislative provisions set out in
the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and the Safety and Accountability for Every (SAFE) Port Act. The program’s goal is to ensure that any
individual who has unescorted access to secure areas of port facilities and
vessels has received a thorough background check and is not a security threat.
“ASPA strongly supports the implementation of TWIC for maritime workers
and believes it will be an important enhancement of our current security system,” said James K. Lyons, director and CEO of the Authority. “Providing a
federal card that includes a terrorist background check of workers will provide
an added layer of security for our access control system.”
The TSA opened its TWIC enrollment center on Dec. 4, providing a centralized process center to port and longshore workers, truckers and others who
must gain access to restricted facilities within the Port of Mobile, including all
of the Alabama State Port Authority’s marine terminals. It is estimated that

approximately 15,000 port and transportation workers in the
Mobile region will be required to carry the TWIC. Mobile is
one of 23 ports to begin enrollment in the TWIC program.
Nationwide, more than one million workers will apply for TWIC
in 2007 and 2008.
“A tremendous amount of planning and work has been done
collectively by TSA, the Coast Guard, port owners/operators,
employee groups and other stakeholders in preparation for this
critical phase of the TWIC program,” said Coast Guard Captain
Ed Stanton. “The Coast Guard is committed to working closely
with TSA and our local industry partners during the enrollment
and compliance phases of the TWIC program to assure a successful transition with minimal disruption to port operations.”
The TWIC card, which is approximately the size of a credit
card, uses “smart card” technology to verify the worker’s identity and background information to the personal, biometric
information stored on the card. The card stores the holder’s
name and digital photograph, fingerprint templates of two
fingers, finger pattern templates of two fingers, the holder’s
personal identification number and federal agency Smart Credential number, as well as the TWIC expiration date. If at the
reader, that data doesn’t match the individual’s fingerprint, the
card cannot be used. The tamper-proof identification card is
universally accepted across the transportation system, creates
a national standard for worker identification and is consistent
with Homeland Security directives.
“Every one of our employees will be enrolled for TWIC. Everyone who needs to get on the docks to work is going to have to
have a TWIC — that includes UPS, FedEx, meter readers from
Alabama Power, pretty much everybody,” said Hal Hudgins,
vice president of port planning and security for the Authority.
“Those who don’t have a TWIC are federal and state officers
who come on the docks in the normal performance of their
duties: Coast Guard, Mobile Police, Mobile Fire & Rescue,
Customs, Immigration.”
At the Port of Mobile, the TWIC contractor has been onsite
since early November and has hired local workers to staff the
enrollment center. “There are six enrollment stations set up at
the International Trade Center,” said Hudgins. “We’ve advised
D E C e m b e r 2 0 0 7 • A l a b a m a S e a port
A credentials list marks the entrance for TWIC enrollment.
about pre-registering and setting up appointments. The site is
open for scheduling appointments. Five hundred have scheduled so far. The site will be open five days a week from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. with appointments for 20 minute intervals.” Cost for
the identification card is $132.50. In early December, Port Authority, State and business leaders enrolled in the TWIC program, including Lyons and retired Congressman Sonny Callahan, who serves on the Port Authority’s board of directors, as
well as Alabama Department of Homeland Security Director
Jim Walker; Senior Vice President of Shaw GBB LLC Stan
Gottlieb; Mike Cameron, vice president of operations for shipping giant, International Shipholding Corporation; and Mike
Lee, president of Page and Jones, a full service ship agency
and freight forwarding firm.
“The start of enrollment is one more step in our effort to prevent persons who are a threat from gaining access to secure
areas of port facilities,” said Maurine Fanguy, TWIC program
director for TSA. “We appreciate the support of our partners
at Port of Mobile for helping to make one of the world’s most
advance interoperable biometric systems a reality.”
One of the challenges for a project this broad is the time required. “The math is pretty straight forward: 15,000 workers
times 20 minutes,” Hudgins explained. “You can see how long
it will take. The enrollment center will be open through March
or April.” After the general port population is enrolled, the local
Coast Guard captain of the port issues a note in the Federal
Register stating a 90-day deadline to comply with TWIC. “It’s
not a fixed date,” said Hudgins. “Enforcement begins after enrollment is complete. We expect the compliance date to be in
the summer. It’s going to take a while.”
The TWIC application process begins with an online preenrollment to fill out the biographical information enrollment
application, as well as schedule an appointment to complete
the application process at an enrollment center. Once at the
enrollment center, the applicant provides personal information
for the security threat assessment and credential, provides 10
5
fingerprints and has a digital photo taken. The security threat
assessment provides a criminal history check based on the
applicant’s fingerprints, the applicant’s immigration status and
an intelligence-related check which looks at potential ties to
terrorist groups or activities.
On enrollment, employees must provide proof of identity, such
as a U.S. Passport, a U.S. Certificate of Citizenship, a Voter’s
Registration Card, a U.S. Social Security Card, a Civil Marriage Certificate or a Merchant Mariner License. Additionally,
applicants sign a disclosure form. If a worker is denied during
the TWIC enrollment process due to information gained from
the security threat assessment, TSA may alert the employer
that the employee was denied, but provides no information as
to why that decision was made.
For those applying for a TWIC, there are two categories of
disqualifying activities: permanent and interim. Permanent
disqualifying criminal offences include espionage, sedition or
treason, improper transportation of hazardous materials, murder, and unlawful possession, use, sale, distribution, purchase,
shipping, transportation or manufacture of an explosive or explosive device. Interim disqualifying criminal offences include
smuggling, extortion, immigration violations, arson, robbery,
kidnapping, rape or aggravated assault during a specified time
period prior to the date of TWIC application. There is an appeals process for those denied a TWIC.
6
Compliance with the new identification program has been
smooth and no problems are anticipated. “They’ve been
pretty positive so far,” said Hudgins. “We haven’t heard a lot
of grumbling from the workforce, as they’re accustomed to
credentialing. It’s similar to the credentialing program we’ve
offered for five years. The process has also benefited from
Lockheed Martin’s very good planning and their cooperation
with port management.”
Prior to the development of TWIC, the Port Authority’s own
increased security included a formal Access Policy that incorporated digital fingerprint-based credentialing and a
criminal background check through local and regional law
enforcement agencies. The Authority had also fenced the
perimeter of the main complex, installed a CCTV system
and improved lighting. Since August 2002, ASPA issued
more than 10,000 credentials and required all port credential
applicants to complete a mandatory security training class.
“The Authority’s security program efforts appear to be paying off, as we have raised security awareness amongst our
employees and port users and we’ve prepared this port for a
smooth transition to the TWIC,” said Hudgins. o

Tuscaloosa
Where strong industry meets strong football.
To most, Tuscaloosa has always been a town with a national
reputation of legendary football.
What most people don’t know about this emerging city is that
Expansion Management magazine named Tuscaloosa as one
of the top 50 “Hottest Cities in America” for expanding and relocating companies, and Forbes magazine listed the city among
the best places in the nation to start and grow a business.
Tuscaloosa is strategically located in the heart of one the
most productive and emerging regions in North America,
the Southeast. This quaint town can be referred to as the
I-20/59 Corridor which includes Birmingham, the largest city
in Alabama. The Tuscaloosa and Birmingham metropolitan
areas have a combined population of more than 1.1 million
and a combined civilian labor force of 600,000.

Tuscaloosa has been recognized by Money
magazine in its annual list of the "best
places to live" in the U.S.
The city’s interstate system is advantageously placed to provide access to all major markets and ten percent of the nation’s
navigable waterways helping to facilitate major investments
by companies from France, Germany, Japan, Italy, the United
Kingdom and Canada, including Mercedes-Benz and Honda.
“This town has experienced strong growth in the last decade and
has put a great amount of investment into infrastructure,” said
Dara Longgrear, executive director of the Tuscaloosa County Industrial Development Authority. “I am sure in the next ten years
the architectural aspect of Tuscaloosa will be quite different.”

Bryant-Denny Stadium's latest improvements
included the plaza outside the north end
zone, luxury boxes and other amenities.
Located in Tuscaloosa County, Mercedes-Benz U.S. International’s (MBUSI) manufacturing plant in Vance is where the
M-Class and the newest members of the company’s line, the
R-Class and GL-Class, are assembled, painted and shipped.
MBUSI is responsible for more than 10,000 direct and indirect
jobs in the region and has an annual economic impact of more
than 1.5 billion. The plant is the state’s largest exporter, with
more than $1 billion exported each year to countries around
the world. MBUSI’s economic impact is only expected to increase when the plant is producing at full capacity.
“I can say first hand that our success is due to the strength
of our team members and the great support we’ve received
from the state and our local communities,” said Bill Taylor,
president and CEO of MBUSI as stated on MBUSI.com. “It
is no surprise that, today Alabama has several automotive
manufacturers and hundreds of suppliers. I am sure they too
found that Alabama has a strong workforce and is a great
place to do business.”
The automotive industry has become a significant manufacturing segment in the local region due to the location of
Mercedes-Benz, Honda and other automotive component
producers, establishing the area as a developing automotive
“hot spot.”
As the city of Tuscaloosa and its industry continues to cultivate, so does the University of Alabama's campus and football
stadium. The University enrolls more than 23,000 students
each year in undergraduate and graduate programs and has
built 10 new academic buildings in the last three years. Along
with the increase in the number of students naturally comes
the need for a bigger football stadium as it has boasted sellouts at all home games since 1988.
planning phase to conduct another expansion, according to an
article by the Tuscaloosa News.
According to Witt, the growth of the student body could make
a stadium expansion and other campus improvements necessary. It would be the fourth time in roughly the last 20 years
that the stadium would be expanded and would most likely
increase the capacity to approximately 100,000 seats.
“We’re looking at ideas to recommend to the board [of trustees],” said Mal Moore, athletic director of UA to DeWitt. “But
any plans for the expansion for Bryant-Denny Stadium remain
in the exploratory phase.”
According to the publication, UA’s Five-Year Facilities Development Plan lists a stadium expansion as a possible project.
The plan put a price tag at $50 million.
For more information about the latest news covering Tuscaloosa, please visit www.tcida.com or call 205.349.1414. o
Bryant-Denny Stadium recently underwent a $47 million expansion project increasing its capacity to 92,138 making it the
seventh largest on-campus football stadium in the nation and
the fifth largest in the Southeastern Conference.
The expansion project, begun just after the 2004 football season and completed in 2006, added three levels of premium
seating, a pair of large video scoreboards in the north end
zone and state-of-the-art, wrap-around display boards situated
on the facades of the east and west upper decks.
Not surprising, the President of the University of Alabama (UA)
Robert Witt said the University is already in the preliminary

Tennessee River Valley Association:
Safeguarding the Tennessee River
One group makes safeguarding the Tennessee River and the
Tennessee River Valley its mission. Organized in 1967 by a
group of citizens from the region who felt the need for a nonpartisan organization that could serve as a unified voice, the
Tennessee River Valley Association (TRVA) promotes the region, its interests and resources.
The Tennessee River’s main navigable channel is 652 miles
long and begins a mile above Knoxville, Tennessee, flowing
southwest through east Tennessee toward Chattanooga before crossing into Alabama. It loops through northern Alabama
and eventually forms a small part of the state's border with
Mississippi, before returning to Tennessee – one of a very few
rivers in the U.S. that leave a state and then re-enter it. It eventually empties into the Ohio River at Paducah, Ky. Commercial
navigation also extends into three major tributaries: 61 miles
up the Clinch River, 29 miles up the Little Tennessee River,
and 21 miles up the Hiwassee River. Another 375 miles of
channel – too shallow for commercial traffic – is marked for
recreational boaters.
“For the Tennessee River Valley to really do well it is necessary
to work together, across city, county and state lines on issues,
projects, opportunities and legislation affecting the entire region,” explained Executive Director Jan Jones.
The TRVA is a non-profit organization serving Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee and the valley portions of Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia. TRVA members come from
all walks of life representing business and industry, transportation, financial services, education, chambers of commerce,
city/county/state governments, trade associations, recreation,
agriculture, news media and private citizens.
The organization's main interest is promoting the development
of economic projects along the Tennessee River and providing
support for specific capital outlay projects, such as lock additions and replacements,
The state of Alabama has more than 1,500 miles of navigable
waterways which provide cost effective and energy efficient
transportation for raw material producers, manufacturers,
farmers, businesses, suppliers and other shippers located
throughout the state and the Southeast. In 2005, Alabama
was ranked 13th in waterway tonnage, up from 16th in 2002,
according to statistics from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center. Some 78 million
tons were shipped that year, of which about 60 percent were
domestic shipments.
“The Tennessee River has a tremendous economic impact,”
Jones explained.
Barges from the Tennessee River can head several directions
in the United States after entering the Ohio River. The Ohio
provides a vital commercial link for industrial and agricultural
interests in the Midwest, and barges on the river carry products such as coal, steel, crops, chemicals and petroleum. The
Ohio River empties into the Mississippi River which runs north
to Minnesota and south to New Orleans. It also connects to
the Missouri River, opening up the Midwest to barge traffic.
After the completion of one of the largest navigational improvement projects in the U.S., vessels traveling the Tennessee River
can also now take a shortcut to the Gulf of Mexico via the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
project providing navigation on the Tombigbee River and a link
to the Port of Mobile, the Tenn-Tom enters the Tennessee River
near the Tennessee-Alabama-Mississippi boundary. This waterway reduces the navigation distance from Tennessee, north
Alabama and northern Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico by hundreds of miles.
“With the opportunities we see at the Port of Mobile, such
as the new container facilities, we've got to improve our opportunities to utilize our waterway system,” said Jones. “TRVA
believes water transportation is the only source that is being
underutilized in the U.S. We aren’t building new rail lines or
new roads and yet traffic continues to increase.”
Before TVA established Chickamauga Dam and reservoir and other
reservoirs above Chattanooga, the city had one of the most serious
flood problems in the nation. Now the river which threatened the
city contributes to its economy as a major artery for barge traffic.

TRVA promotes water transportation as an economic way to
move cargo. One barge can move as much cargo as 60 large
trucks or 15 rail cars. With fuel being a critical component in

Products from 20 states pass through the system of Kentucky
and nearby Barkley locks, the lowermost locks on the Tennessee
and Cumberland rivers, respectively. Traffic levels are expected
to increase in the future, and an additional 1,200-ft-long by 110-ftwide lock is projected to be necessary to satisfy future capacity
requirements. Ground was broken on the project in 1999 and is
expected to be completed in 2011 pending continuous funding
by the U.S. Congress.
the nation’s economy, the fuel efficiency of water traffic can’t
be beat. One gallon of fuel will move one ton of freight for 500
miles by barge, 200 miles by rail or 60 miles by truck.
The Tennessee River system is jointly managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. There are 15 lock chambers on the Tennessee River.
“We take special interest in capital outlay projects on the Tennessee River such as lock additions and improvements,” Jones
said. The two main projects currently underway are the addition of a second and larger lock at the Kentucky dam, and the
replacement of the deteriorating lock at Chickamauga.
The Kentucky Lock is a high traffic lock. Much like a traffic intersection, tows must wait for their turn to pass thru the lock
system which can take many hours. The addition of a second
lock at the Kentucky dam will allow for more traffic and larger
barges to pass through the locks in a much quicker and efficient manner.
The Chickamauga Lock has significant structural problems.
The project will replace the old lock with a new and much larger
lock. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers have estimated that the Chickamauga Lock
can continue to operate until 2010 if adequate maintenance
and repair work is performed on an annual basis. The closure of
the lock would cut off 313 miles of navigable waterways on the
upper Tennessee River. The 110-foot by 600-foot replacement
lock can accommodate nine jumbo barges in one lockage and
will dramatically improve navigation on the Tennessee River.
“The problem with these projects,” explained Jones, “is that
they are very long term projects. The funding must be approved from year to year. Significant cuts can slow down or
shut down projects entirely. Both of these projects are vital
to improving the traffic on the Tennessee River. It is important
to support the efforts to complete these projects and that is
where TRVA steps in.”
The TRVA regularly meets with local, state and federal agencies, including the Tennessee Valley Authority and the United

States Army Corps of Engineers, which jointly manage the
Tennessee River System. They contact members of Congress
regarding issues directly affecting the Tennessee River Valley,
testify before Congressional committees, conduct public meetings, seminars and presentations, and publish newsletters and
informational materials to inform and educate the community.
The organization is a charter member of the Coalition of Alabama Waterways Associations and, along with other Alabama
Waterways Associations and the Alabama State Port Authority, promotes port and waterways projects and programs to
benefit the state’s river basins, industries, carriers and other
users of the ports and waterways.
The TRVA believes that the development of this region is directly attributable to the wise and effective use of its water
resources. Today our navigable waterways provide a new
dimension to inland transportation. Thousands of industries
have invested billions of dollars along the waterways that have
directly created thousands of jobs and indirectly created jobs
for many more in related industries and service sector. Many
other industries and jobs throughout the region and nation depend on the effective performance of our inland waterways.
Waterway transportation is an environmentally-friendly, safe
method of transportation to move large quantities of raw materials, finished products, bulk materials and liquids. With the
growing containerized freight industry, waterways can provide
an excellent, cost-effective mode of transporting containers.
The waterways, including the Tennessee River, also offer an
advantage to shippers who must transfer oversized cargo from
one place to another. Often, it would be difficult to impossible
to transfer such items via road or rail.
“One such example,” said Jones, “are the rocket boosters
built in Decatur, Ala., by Boeing. They are far too large to ship
any other way except by water. It was really incredible to see,”
she added. The Rocket boosters where shipped by barge
down the Tennessee River, down the Tennessee-Tombigbee
Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico and then, finally, around to
Cape Canaveral.
The TRVA believes that water transportation can only grow
in the years to come and as it does, the Tennessee River
Valley Association will be there to do all it can to make its
region successful. o

Port Authority’s Powell Returns from Iraq
The Alabama State Port Authority and Terminal Railroad
proudly welcome James "Jimmy" Powell home after a yearlong deployment to Iraq. Petty
Officer 2nd Class Powell's
unit, Navy Marine Construction Battalion 28 commonly
referred to as "Seabees",
returned from a year-long
deployment as part of Task
Force Sierra in Baghdad.
Powell said that being away
from his wife, two sons, Matt
and Scotty, and not being
home to decorate their yard
for his wife Robin's 40th
birthday was the hardest thing he ever had to do. However,
with the support and prayers from his family and fellow TRR
employees, he was able to make it.
"I'd really like to thank everyone from the docks, with special
thanks to all my friends and co-workers who offered to help me
and my family during my absence,” he said. “They have no idea
how much I appreciate everything that was done for me and
my family while I was away."
Powell said they stayed very busy in Iraq. “We worked almost every single day and there was really no reason not to,”
he said. “Staying busy helped the days pass faster and we
wanted to leave things better for our replacements.”
Powell served as crew leader for a group of Seabees building a weapons training range near Baghdad. The facility was
an extremely large outdoor complex that could be used to train
all types of Iraqi Security Forces. o

“Crossing Boundaries”
at This Year’s Alabama Dance Festival
Celebrating its eleventh year, the Alabama Dance
Festival will be held in studios and theaters throughout Birmingham Jan. 17 through Jan. 20.
This year’s theme, “Crossing
Boundaries,” highlights the harmony between the multiple

“Originally, it began as an annual conference for the
Alabama Dance Council,” said Rosemary Johnson,
executive director of the Alabama Dance Council.
“Now, it is much more than that. It is really a festival
for everyone.”
To showcase the theme, Bridgman Packer Dance
will be one of the main attractions. The national touring company was chosen to perform their unique combination of live
performance and video technology throughout the festival at
the University of Alabama-Birmingham’s Alys Stephens Center. Additionally, the group will hold school lecture demonstrations called “Making Dance; Making Video” to give performing
arts students a first-hand experience of dance, video, performance and the creative process.
Alabama Dance Festival offers fine art students a chance to
take classes in a variety of genres including praise dance from
a world-class faculty. Photo provided by Rob Lagerstrom.

“The male/female duo company integrates video technology
with live performance. Using different video projection techniques, they are able to dance with their own images and use
their body as screens,” explains Johnson. “Sometimes it is hard
to tell the difference between the performers and the dancing
images on screen.”
A third component to the performance is the music created
for each dance piece, which was commissioned as original
scores by three different composers – Robert Een, Ken Field
and Glen Velez. All three composers will be performing at this
year’s festival.
Not only is the festival committed to crossing the multidisciplinary boundaries within the performing arts, but it is also
committed to bringing the arts to the entire Alabama community. A much anticipated addition to the festival is “Dance Across
Birmingham: A Community Celebration,” providing free dance
classes for all ages at any level.
“We wanted to give anyone in the community a chance to
come and experience dance, even if they have never taken a
class,” said Johnson. “We’ve invited local artists to teach community classes for beginners on all types of dance from African
dance, salsa, hip hop and ballroom to introductory tap, praise
dance and even creative movement for pre-schoolers.”
“Dance Across Birmingham” classes will be held Saturday, Jan.
19 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the North meeting rooms of the
Birmingham Jefferson Convention Center. Individuals from the
community are welcome to take up to four classes. This community portion of the festival will culminate with a performance by
the teachers of the classes at 12:30 p.m. Free and open to the
public, “Dance Across Birmingham” is an exciting key to crossing the community boundary at the Alabama Dance Festival.
Offering master classes to students of the performing arts is still
a primary focus of the Alabama Dance Festival. The Alabama
Dance Council works very hard throughout the year to secure
master teachers to serve as the festival’s faculty. Some of this
year’s faculty include: Leslie Browne, nominated for an Academy
Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role opposite Mikhail
Baryshnikov in the feature film “The Turning Point”; Robert Battle,
a graduate from the Julliard School and honored at the Kennedy
Center for Performing Arts with a medal proclaiming him one
of the “Masters of African-American Choreography;” Bill Evans,
artistic director of the Bill Evans Dance Company for 30 years;
and Vincent Thomas, artistic director of VTDance.

The Alabama Dance Festival culminates with the Alabama
Dance Showcase. The performance features dance companies in all genres of dance across the state where everyone
can enjoy the diversity of Alabama’s dance community.
“This year we are thrilled to present 28 dance companies from
all over the state,” stated Johnson. “That’s a marathon!”
The Alabama Dance Festival has come a long way from
its roots as a dance summit for members of the Alabama Dance Council. The festival has traveled from
Tuscaloosa to Montgomery to its present location in
Birmingham. Holding its fifth year in Birmingham, the festival
has become a premier event in the state of Alabama. Whether you are a pre-professional dancer wanting to take master
classes, a pre-schooler interested in ballet, an adult wanting
to try ballroom dancing or just want to enjoy performances
by national and local artists, the Alabama Dance Festival has
something for everyone to enjoy.

Samuel Pepys Naval Reformer
Though chiefly remembered and celebrated for his diary, which
records in minute detail life in 17th century London, Samuel
Pepys also made an indelible impression on the Royal Navy,
fighting corruption and contributing in no small measure to the
supremacy that the service would come to enjoy.
secretary to his cousin, Sir Edward Montagu, who, as Generalat-Sea, served as commander of the English Navy.
Montagu took Pepys with him on board the 80-gun NASEBY
to bring home the exiled King Charles II. Pepys' first impression of the monarch was of "a very sober man." The king lost no
time in changing the names of the warships; the NASEBY was
re-christened the ROYAL CHARLES, and it was King Charles
II who added the prefix "Royal" to the navy. It is ironic that the
commoner Pepys – at one time, like Montagu, an ardent supporter of Cromwell – should have become a confidant of royalty
and move with ease among
the highest social circles of
Samuel Pepys has been described

was no ordinary man.
In July 1660, Montagu was
created first Earl of Sandwich, and through his patronage,
Pepys was appointed that same month as clerk of the king's
ships or clerk of the acts of the navy, more popularly known
as "clerk of the acts." As such, the 27-year-old became a
member of the four-man Navy Board charged with the administration of the Royal Navy. In addition to clerk of the acts, the
other officers on the board included a treasurer, controller
and a surveyor.
Pepys came from a humble background; his father was a tailor, his mother the sister of a Whitechapel butcher; but Pepys
owed his introduction to London society to connections to the
Montagu family. Pepys' great aunt Paulina had married Sir Sidney Montagu, whose son, Edward, would prove to be Samuel's benefactor and patron.
Pepys received a scholarship to attend Magdalene College,
Cambridge, receiving his B.A. in 1653 and an M.A. in 1661 –
five years after his marriage to 16-year-old Elizabeth Marchant
St. Michel, the daughter of a French Huguenot refugee.
Pepys first found employment as a clerk to George Downing,
a teller of the Exchequer (for whom Downing Street would be
named). While working for Downing, Pepys began his famous
diary on January 1, 1660, recording his thoughts and observations on not only the great events of the day but also the
most intimate details of his own life. In March, Pepys became
d e c e m b e r 2 0 0 7 • A l a b a m a S e a port
The young clerk quickly discovered the value of his new position. His salary had been set at $300 a year; less than a month
after taking office, Pepys was offered $1,000 to sell his seat
on the board. He just as quickly discovered that the navy was
$1 million in debt and riddled with corruption. Bribery was expected by officials, price gouging ignored. Naval stores were
routinely plundered by sailors and dockworkers alike and sold
for profit. The officer ranks were largely inept – anyone with
enough money could purchase a commission – and the sailors
generally represented the dregs of society, rounded up in the
street by press gangs.
Pepys had a taste of bribery his very first day in office, when a
woman presented him with $5 in silver to use his influence on
behalf of her husband. The clerk soon found that he was making an average of $3 a day above and beyond his salary. While
this smacks of the very corruption that Pepys would work diligently to rid the Navy of, he was a man of his times, and in 17th
century England it was not deemed unethical for one to use his
position for personal gain.
27
King Charles II appointed Pepys
as “clerk of the acts” in 1660.
Pepys enjoyed life.
He was a lover of
the arts and music especially. We
know that he once
had been chastised
at university for excessive
drinking,
and in 1662, Sir
William Coventry
described Pepys as
"the life of the navy
office." For a while
Pepys was content to enjoy the perks of his office the small
gifts, his official residence at the Navy Office in Seething
Lane – and the sometimes riotous companionship of his colleagues, Admiral Sir William Batten and Admiral Sir William
Penn. Sometime in 1662, however, Pepys began to take his
position more seriously.
In July 1662, Pepys hired a tutor to teach him the multiplication tables, and he began to learn the details of his office with
equal diligence. He went down to Deptford to see for himself
the provisioning of the fleet, and realized for the first time "the
great authority" that he held. Pepys haunted Thames Street,
stopping in at shops to determine “the price of tar and oil...”
It was his determination, he wrote, “to save the King money
by this practice. “He discovered immediately that the Navy
was being overcharged for its provisions, citing the example of
flagmakers who charged threepence a yard too much. Pepys
threw himself into his work and could often be found in his office by four a.m.
Pepys made a study of hemp and of timber, and soon he was not merely recording
contracts for the Navy Board but negotiating them himself. The clerk of the acts was
soon recognized as the expert on Navy provisions, and he was saving the Royal Navy money on every
contract he wrote. But Pepys did not limit his work to negotiating and writing contracts. At his direction, victualling of the
fleet was improved. He called frequently at the dockyards, demanding oversight, personally introducing more efficient work
methods and doing what he could to root out laziness and
incompetence.
Pepys' reforms eventually would address the officer corps of the
Royal Navy. Through his efforts, naval officers were placed on
a professional footing: to qualify as a midshipman, a candidate
had to have two years’ experience at sea; a lieutenant had to
have three years of service – at least one of them as a midshipman – and be able to pass an examination on seamanship.
His diligence did not go unnoticed or unrewarded. In addition
to his position as clerk of the acts, the Earl of Sandwich had
Pepys appointed a clerk of the privy seal, and he also became
a justice of the peace, just two of several additional offices that
he was to hold. Pepys was appointed an assistant of the corporation of the royal fishing, presided over by the Duke of York,
who was also Lord High Admiral of the Royal Navy. The Duke
later made Pepys treasurer of the fisheries commission.
The value of Pepys' contributions were readily apparent during the Second Dutch War of 1665-1667, when he worked
diligently to meet the Navy's needs. George Monck, the Duke
of Albemarle, at this time dubbed Pepys "the right hand of the
navy," and rightly so. He stayed at his post as the Black Plague
swept through London, remarking to Sir William Coventry, "You
took your turn of the sword; I must not grudge to take mine
of the pestilence." In addition, it was
Pepys who had the presence of mind
to save the Navy Office during the
Great Fire of London in September
1666, which he described thusly:
We saw the fire as only one entire
arch from this to the other side of the
bridge, and in a bow up the hill for
an arch of above a mile long; it made
me weep to see it. The churches,
houses, and all on fire and flaming at
once; and a horrid noise the flames
made, and the cracking of houses at
their ruin.
Navy dockyards of the time were rife with corruption.

D E C e m b e r 2 0 0 7 • A l a b a m a S e a port
In the midst of the confusion and destruction, Pepys convinced Sir William Penn to bring workmen from the
dockyard and have them knock down
the houses between the spreading
conflagration and the Navy Office, thus
sparing it from certain destruction and
helping to put out the fire.
Pepys visited dockyards frequently –
as well as the shops that supplied the
Navy – becoming an expert in his field.
Despite Pepys' work, a Parliamentary committee was established to look into charges of mismanagement of the Navy.
Pepys testified before the committee and later delivered a stirring three hour defense of the Board's work before the full
House of Commons. Afterwards, Pepys received hearty congratulations, and the proposed impeachments were dropped.
Based on his success and the kind words of the members,
Pepys now began to consider his future in politics.
Pepys obtained a leave of absence and traveled to France
and the Netherlands to make a study of the foreign navies.
Upon his return to London, Pepys found his wife ill with fever.
Elizabeth died in November 1669 at the age of 29. During her
illness, the Duke of York and Lord Henry Howard (later Duke
of Norfolk) had been laboring to get Pepys elected to Parliament. But unable to campaign or attend the election, Pepys
was defeated.
In 1672, the Earl of Sandwich was killed in action during the
Third Dutch War, and the following year the Duke of York was
forced to resign as Lord High Admiral, due to his conversion to
Catholicism. A new Commission of Admiralty was established,
and Pepys was appointed secretary for the affairs of the navy in
June 1673. That November he was elected to Parliament, representing Castle Rising. Both in Parliament and at the Admiralty,
Pepys worked as hard as ever for the next six years to rid the
Navy of corruption. One of his signal achievements was the laying down of 30 ships of the line, helping to restore the balance
of power among England, France and the Netherlands. Pepys
also established a
classification system for naval warships, based on the
number of guns and
complement of men.
Pepys was reelected
to Parliament as a
Member from Harwich in 1679, but
his reform efforts had earned Pepys a number of powerful enemies. After successfully defending his clerk on trumped up
charges of being an accessory to murder, Pepys found himself
charged with providing information to the French and being
involved in the "Popish Plot." Pepys was subsequently placed
in the Tower of London. Charles II dissolved the Parliament for
a year and a half, during which time Pepys had sufficient time
to prepare his defense. His accusers were thoroughly discredited, and at least one fled the country.
Pepys next accompanied the Earl of Dartmouth to Tangier in
1683 to evacuate the English garrison and destroy the buildings there. Charles II had become Lord High Admiral, and
in 1684, Pepys was reappointed secretary of affairs of the
Admiralty, with an annual salary of $2,000. That same year
he was elected president of the Royal Society and reelected
the following year.
Pepys attended the coronation of King James II as a baron of
the Cinque Ports, and in May 1685, he was returned to Parliament for Harwich. He continued his secretariat at the Admiralty,
working to undo the inefficiency and
corruption that had crept back in the
Service during his absence. In 1686,
Pepys received a special commission
"for the Recovery of the Navy."
During the great
Fire of London,
Pepys managed
to protect the
Navy Office from
destruction.

above reproach, recognized as one of London's leading citizens. His intimate friends included the luminaries of London society: Sir
Isaac Newton, Dr. Edmond Halley, the poet John Dryden, the
architect Sir Christopher Wren, and leading musicians, artists, actors and actresses. Despite his powerful connections,
Pepys was largely a self-made man, having applied himself to
the Herculean task of reform in an era and a Service noted
for corruption. When he took office, the Royal Navy had consisted of 30 ships of the line shipping 1,730 guns. At the time
of his retirement, the Navy could boast of 59 ships of the line

Samuel Pepys died on May 26, 1703, having, in
the words of an Oxford orator, "encompassed
Britain with wooden walls" – the bulwarks of
the finest navy the world had ever known. o
With the flight of King James II,

The steamer Edgar F. Luckenbach, of the Luckenbach Line, was chartered by the
Waterman Steamship Corporation and sailed on one round trip from the east gulf
to the United Kingdom and Continental Europe. Fourteen Mobile Oceanic Line
steamers were actively engaged in this trans-Atlantic trade.
The World Trade Committee of the Mobile Chamber of Commerce hosted the
annual reception for the consuls of Mobile. The members of the reception filled

Venezuela, Colombia and other ports in the Caribbean and NCSA. The additional
ship will enhance cargo and lifting capacity.

in project and heavy lift cargoes. Your project: On Time, On Budget, On Site.
