USS Clemson


Nov 7, 2020, 1:26 PM

Watching the Mich @ Indy game and saw where they have the prow, mainmast, and two guns of the USS Indiana erected at the western entrance of the stadium. It was very cool looking. So I remembered there was a USS Clemson and thought that'd be cool to have something like that outside Clemson's Memorial Stadium. Learned that the ship was named for Midshipman Henry A. Clemson after his drowning on the brig SOMERS during the Mexican–American War. The Mexican War Midshipmen's Monument was erected at the United States Naval Academy in 1948. It is in the memory of Clemson and three other midshipmen who died at Vera Cruz. The monument was at one time known as the Clemson Monument.

One other note, the ship's bell is privately owned in Clemson, South Carolina.

Go Tigers AND Stay Well Tiger Nation!

Thanks for sharing this history lesson! I've never heard any of that before. I think it would be really cool to see that bell be incorporated into the scroll of honor memorial park one day.
