Great White Fleet - The Atlantic Fleet when it sailed from Hampton Roads, VA on December 16, 1907, sent on an around the world goodwill mission by President Theodore Roosevelt, consisted of sixteen new battleships painted white with gilded scrollwork on their bows, six destroyers, and several auxiliary ships. This was likely the last large fleet to sail around the Horn before the completion of the Panama Canal in 1914. This is a list of of the BOYDs who were on those ships as they sailed in review past President Roosevelt on that December day in 1907.
