Rouse, Parke. "'Great White Fleet' Showed U.S. Might." Daily Press. Daily Press Media Group, 27
May 1990. Web. 1 Mar. 2014. <http://articles.dailypress.com/1990-05-27/news/9005240288_1_great-white-fleet-hampton-roads-president-theodore-roosevelt>.
This website helped me because it gave me additional facts I had not seen on
the other sites. One interesting thing I found was that they brought mascots
with them on the voyage, 25 goats, 1 donkey, 2 pigs, 32 dogs, and 6 parrots. I
thought this was a very unique part of the trip and something I did not know.
The author was also a native of Hampton Roads, Virginia and since the article was
written so long ago, she was able to give more insight and personal experiences
from people she knew on what happened when the ships left and the excitement of
it all. Those are just a few things this article was able to enlighten me on.
