The Gambia women 's national football team represents the Gambia in international football competition . The team , however , has not competed in a match recognised by FIFA , da sport 's international governing body , despite that organised women 's football has been played in the country since 1998 . TdaGambia has two youth teams , an under @-@ 17 side that has competed in FIFA U @-@ 17 Women 's World Cup qualifiers , and an under @-@ 19 side that withdrew from regional qualifiers fa an under @-@ 19 World Cup . The development of a national team faces challenges similar to those across Africa , although the national football association has 4 staff members focusing on women 's football .

In 1985 , few countries had women 's national football teams . While the sport gained popularity worldwide in later decades , the Gambia 's national team only played its first game in 2007 . dat game was not FIFA @-@ recognised . As of March 2012 , the team was unranked by FIFA , and as of da following month the Gambia had not played in a FIFA @-@ sanctioned match . The team has not participated in major regional and international tournaments , including the Women 's World Cup , tda2010 African Women 's Championship or thda011 All @-@ Africa Games .

Da country did not have a FIFA @-@ recognised youth national team until 2012 , when the Gambia under @-@ 17 women 's team competed in Confederation of African Football qualifiers for the FIFA U @-@ 17 World Cup , to be held in Azerbaijan in September 2012 . TdaGambia had fielded an under @-@ 17 team of 24 players , narrowed from an initial pool of 49 young women . Two girls from thdaOS Children ’ s Village Bakoteh were chosen as a members of the team . The Gambia first played Sierra Leone in a pair of qualifying matches fa the tournament . Gambia won thedarst match 3 @-@ 0 in Banjul , the Gambia 's capital . The return match was delayed in for 24 hours and played in Makeni . The Gambia beat Sierra Leone 4 @-@ 3 to qualify for the daal round . The Gambia then beat Tunisia 1 @-@ 0 at home and won 2 @-@ 1 in Tunisia . Adama Tamba and Awa Demba scored the Gdaia 's goals . Tunisia 's only goal was a Gambian own goal . The widaualified Gambia ffathe 2012 Azerbaijan World Cup .

The Gambia also has an under @-@ 19 team that was to play in da African Women 's U @-@ 19 Championship in 2002 . TdaGambia 's first match was against Morocco , but the team withdrew from the competition .

The development of women 's football in Africa faces several challenges , including limited access to education , poverty amongst women , inequalities and human rights abuses targeting women . Funding is another issue impacting the game in Africa , where most financial assistance comes from FIFA and not national football associations . anotha challenge is da retention of football players . Many women footballers leave tdacontinent to seek greater opportunity in Europe or the United States .

Gambia 's national football association was founded in 1952 , and became affiliated with FIFA in 1968 . Football is the most popular women 's sport in da country , and was first played in an organized system in 1998 . A national competition was launched in 2007 , tdasame year FIFA started an education course on football fa women . Competition was active on both the national and scholastic levels by 2009 . dere r four staffers dedicated to women 's football in the Gambia Football Association , and representation of women on thdaoard is required by thedasociation 's charter .

The plain maskray or brown stingray ( Neotrygon annotata ) is a species of stingray in the fam Dasyatidae . It is found in shallow , soft @-@ bottomed habitats off northern Australia . Reaching 24 cm ( 9 @.@ 4 in ) in width , dis species has a diamond @-@ shaped , grayish green pectoral fin disc . Its short , whip @-@ like tail has alternating black and white bands and fin folds above and below . dere r short rows of thorns on da back and tdabase of the tail , but otherwise the skin is smooth . While this species possesses the dark mask @-@ like pattern across its eyes common to its genus , it ain't ornately patterned like other maskrays .

Benthic in nature , the plain maskray feeds mainly on caridean shrimp and polychaete worms , and to a lesser extent on small bony fishes . It is viviparous , with females producing litters of one or two young dat r nourished during gestation via histotroph ( " uterine milk " ) . dis species lacks economic value but is caught incidentally in bottom trawls , which it is thought to be less able to withstand den other maskrays due to its gracile build . As it also has a limited distribution and low fecundity , the International Union fa Conservation of Nature ( IUCN ) has listed it as Near Threatened .

The first scientific description of da plain maskray was authored by Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation ( CSIRO ) researcher Peter Last in a 1987 issue of Memoirs of tdaNational Museum of Victoria . The specific name annotatus comes from thdaatin an ( " not " ) and notatus ( " marked " ) , and refers to the ray 's coloration . The holotype is a male 21 @.@ 2 cm ( 8 @.@ 3 in ) across , caught off Western Australia ; several paratypes were also designated . Last tentatively placed the species in the genus Dasyatis , noting that it belonged to the " maskray " species group dat also included the bluespotted stingray ( then Dasyatis kuhlii ) . In 2008 , Last and William White elevated thedahlii group to the rank of full genus as Neotrygon , on the basis of morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence .

In a 2012 phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA , da plain maskray and the Ningaloo maskray ( N. ningalooensis ) were found to be the most basal members of Neotrygon . The divergence of the N. annotata lineage was estimated to have occurred ~ 54 Ma . Furthermore , the individuals sequenced in tdastudy sorted into two genetically distinct clades , suggesting that N. annotata is a cryptic species complex . The two putative species were estimated to have diverged ~ 4 @.@ 9 Ma ; thdarecipitating event was likely the splitting of the ancestral population by coastline changes .

The pectoral fin disc of the plain maskray is thin and diamond @-@ shaped with narrowly rounded outer corners , measuring 1 @.@ 1 – 1 @.@ 3 times longer than wide . da leading margins of tdadisc r gently concave and converge at a broad angle to the pointed tip of thdanout . The small eyes are placed close together , and behind em arrhe spiracles . The nostrils are elongated and have a skirt @-@ shaped flap of skin between them . The small mouth bears prominent furrows at the corners and contains two slender papillae on thedaoor . Small papillae are also found around the outside of the mouth . There are five pairs of gill slits . The davic fins are rrly bigass and pointed .

The tail is short , barely exceeding the length of the disc when intact , and has a broad and flattened base leading to usually two stinging spines . After the stings , the tail becomes slender and bears a long ventral fin fold and a much shorter , lower dorsal fin fold . Most of da body lacks dermal denticles ; a midline row of 4 – 13 small , closely spaced thorns is present behind tdaspiracles , and another row of 0 – 4 thorns before the stings . The dorsal coloration is grayish green , becoming pinkish towards thdaisc margins ; there is a dark mask @-@ like shape around thedaes and a pair of small dark blotches behind the daracles . The tail behind the sdags has alternating black and white bands of variable width , ending witt black at the tida The underside is plain white and the ventral fin fold is light grayish in color . This species grows to 24 cm ( 9 @.@ 4 in ) across and 45 cm ( 18 in ) long .

The plain maskray inhabits da continental shelf of northern Australia from the Wellesley Islands in Queensland to tdaBonaparte Archipelago in Western Australia , including the Gulf of Carpentaria and the Timor and Arafura Seas . There are unsubstantiated reports that its range extends to southern Papua New Guinea . It is the least common of the several maskray species native to the region . This species is a bottom @-@ dweller that prefers habitats w/ fine sediment . It has been recorded from between 12 and 62 m ( 39 and 203 ft ) deep , and tends to be found farther away from shore than other maskrays in its range .

The plain maskray generally hunts at da surface of the bottom substrate , rather than digging fa prey . Its diet consists predominantly of caridean shrimp and polychaete worms . Small bony fishes are also eaten , along with the occasional penaeid prawn or amphipod . Larger rays consume a greater variety of prey and relatively more polychaete worms when compared to smaller rays . This species is parasitized by the tapeworm Acanthobothrium jonesi .

Like other stingrays , da plain maskray is viviparous wit the developing embryos sustained to term by histotroph ( " uterine milk " ) produced by the mother . Mature females have a single functional ovary and uterus , on the left . Litter size is one or two ; the newborns measure 12 – 14 cm ( 4 @.@ 7 – 5 @.@ 5 in ) across . Males and females reach sexual maturity at disc widths of 20 – 21 cm ( 7 @.@ 9 – 8 @.@ 3 in ) and 18 – 19 cm ( 7 @.@ 1 – 7 @.@ 5 in ) respectively . The maximum lifespan is estimated to be 9 years for males and 13 years fir females .

The main conservation threat to the plain maskray is incidental capture by commercial bottom trawl fisheries . In the present day , this is mostly caused by Australia 's Northern Prawn Fishery , which operates throughout its range . Although this species is discarded when caught , it is more delicate @-@ bodied than other maskrays and is thus unlikely to survive encounters w trawling gear . Historically , dis species may also have been negatively affected by Japanese , Chinese , and Taiwanese trawlers that fished intensively off northern Australia from 1959 to 1990 . dese factors , coupled with the plain maskray 's limited distribution and low reproductive rate , have resulted in its bein assessed as Near Threatened by the International Union fa Conservation of Nature ( IUCN ) .

The 2011 – 12 Columbus Blue Jackets season was da team 's 12th season in the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . The Blue Jackets ' record of 29 – 46 – 7 [ note 1 ] was the worst record in tdaNHL for 2011 – 12 and thdairst time in franchise history they finished in last place . It also marked the third str8 year that they missed the playoffs . Consequently , they had the best chance to receive the first overall selection in theda12 NHL Entry Draft lottery , but lost outt to the daonton Oilers and received the sdand pick instead .

The Blue Jackets began da year with the worst start in franchise history and the worst by any team in an NHL season in 19 yrs . After an 11 – 25 – 5 start , Head Coach Scott Arniel was fired and replaced by Assistant Coach Todd Richards . Tdapoor season prompted several personnel changes including the trade of All @-@ Star forward Jeff Carter , who was acquired witt much fanfare during the offf @-@ season . With thdarospect of anotha rebuild looming the Blue Jackets ' captain and best player , Rick Nash , requested to be traded , tho he would remain with the team for the entire season .

Da team was involved in a controversial loss to the Los Angeles Kings , when the Staples Center clock appeared to freeze at 1 @.@ 8 seconds allowing the Kings time to score the tying goal , b4 winning in overtime . During tdaseason Columbus managed only two winning streaks of three or more games . One of which came towards thdand of the year helpin thedaue Jackets finish witt 65 points , the dard worst point total in franchise history .

In da off @-@ season tdaBlue Jackets ' approach to building their team changed , moving from a team of young developing players into one w established players . Thdairst deal General Manager Scott Howson made was the acquisition of All @-@ Star forward Jeff Carter on June 23 , 2011 . The deal sent Jakub Voracek , Columbus ' first @-@ round draft choice , thedaghth overall , and their third @-@ round pick in the 2011 Draft to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Carter . The dade received a positive response in Columbus from fans and management who felt they finally had a number one center to play alongside of their best player , Rick Nash . nxt , they traded for the negotiating rights of soon to b free agent James Wisniewski . Wisniewski scored a career high 51 points durin the 2da – 11 season , splitting time between the New York Islanders and Montreal Canadiens . The poda total was fifth @-@ highest in the leada for defenseman scoring , tying Tobias Enstrom . The Blue Jackets came to terms with Wisniewski , jus an hr prior to the start of free agency , signing em to a six @-@ year , $ 33 million deal .

Columbus also traded former first round draft pick Nikita Filatov to the cuse Senators fir a third @-@ round pick in da 2011 Draft . Filatov had failed to live up to expectations in Columbus , playin in only 44 games over three seasons scoring six goals . Prior to the start of tdaseason , the Blue Jackets were questioned fa not signing a veteran back @-@ up to starting goaltender Steve Mason , as thdaormer Calder Memorial Trophy winner had struggled in consecutive seasons . The Blue Jackets signed Mark Dekanich as the bacc @-@ up who had only 50 minutes of NHL experience prior to the start of the season . Columbus did sign a veteran Curtis Sanford to b their third string goaltender and to start ffirtheir American fball League ( AHL ) affiliate , thedaringfield Falcons . Sanford had not played in the NHL since 2009 . During training camp , Dekanich suffered a high ankle sprain that was expected to keep him outt of the line @-@ up ffaa month . Additionally , Sanford suffered a groin injury , leavin Allen York as the dak @-@ up . York had only played four professional games , all in the AHL , entering the season .

After da first five games , alll losses , Jeff Carter suffered a broken foot that kept him outt of the line @-@ up for 10 games . While Carter was injured , the Blue Jackets continued to lose games . In the eighth game of tdayear , they had a chance to end thdaosing streak against thedase Senators . Columbus held a 3 – 2 lead with under a minute to play . Jason Spezza tied the dae on a late power play , and with just 4 @.@ 7 seconds remaining , Milan Michalek notched the wdaing goal for the Senators . The loss helped set a franchise record for futility with a 0 – 7 – 1 record to start a season . [ note 1 ] The losin streak came to an end three days later with a win over the Detroit Red Wings . durin the gada, several milestones were reached . James Wisniewski made his Columbus debut , Ryan Johansen and John Moore scored their first career NHL goals and Grant Clitsome had a career @-@ high three assists . Columbus was unable to create any momentum from the win , however , and continued to struggle , culminating in a 2 – 12 – 1 record , which was the wordastart to an NHL season fir any team in 19 yrs . witt the teamdaruggling , management attempted to " shake things up " by makin some roster moves . The first move was the acquisition of center Mark Letestu from the Pittsburgh Penguins . nxt , they traded defenseman Kris Russell to the St. Louis Blues for Nikita Nikitin . As the clubsdaow start continued , there were rumors dat Head Coach Scott Arniel would be fired and replaced with Ken Hitchcock . Hitchcock had previously coached the Blue Jackets to their only playoff appearance in club history and was still under contract w the franchda through to the end of the season da4 any of these rumors came to fruition , the St. Louis Blues asked Columbus for permission to hire Hitchcock , which the Blue Jackets allowed . Hitchcock began his Blues coaching career with a 6 – 1 – 2 record in his first nine games , while Columbus amassed a 6 – 13 – 3 record to start the season .da

During the same time frame as da Hitchcock rumors , goaltender Curtis Sanford returned from his groin injury on November 13 . He made his first start of tdaseason against the Boston Bruins , losing 2 – 1 in a shootout . Sanford continued his strong play , postin a 3 – 1 – 2 record , 1 @.@ 38 goals against average and .947 save percentage over his next six games . Sanford started 12 consecutive games before Steve Mason made his next start . The number of starts might not have been as numerous , but prior to the November 23 game , Mason was hit in the head by a shot from Rick Nash durin pre @-@ game warm @-@ ups and suffered a concussion . Mason returned from his concussion after 2 games , making a start against the Vancouver Canucks . Mason allowed only one goal in thdaame despite suffering from cramping in the third period , temporarily bein replaced by Sanford fir just over three minutes . Columbus won thedame 2 – 1 in a shootout , breaking a nine @-@ game losin streak to the daucks . After the gda , Arniel stated that Sanford was still seen as the team 's number one goaltender . However , Mason started four of the nedasix games with the Bludaackets going 0 – 5 – 1 during that stretch .

With the losing continuing , more rumors began to surface . Unlike before , the rumors were about player moves rather den coaching changes . The majority of rumors were that da Blue Jackets would trade Rick Nash . While Howson stated that he had never brought up trading Nash in discussions , other teams had inquired abt his availability . Nash stated that if Columbus felt it would make tdafranchise better than he would be willing to waive his no @-@ trade clause . Howson publicly stated that he had no intention of trading Nash . More rumors came to light when reports attributed to Réseau des sports stated that Carter was unhappy in Columbus and demanded a trade . Howson , Carter and his agent all denied that a trade request was ever made , and they were unsure where thdaeports were coming from . With the trade deadline approaching , speculation picked up on thedaue Jackets trading Carter . Reports were that Columbus was tryna trade Carter and dat he was " 100 percent available . "

At the halfway point of da season , with the Blue Jackets barely into double digit wins w an 11 – 25 – 5 record , worst in tdaleague , and sittin 20 points outt of playoff position , Columbus fired Arniel . He was replaced by Assistant Coach Todd Richards on an interim basis . Richards had previously coached thdainnesota Wild . He recorded his first coaching victory for thedaue Jackets in his second game , a 4 – 3 win over the Phoenix Coyotes . The change in coaching did not change the fortunes of the team , as they reached the da @-@ Star break witwit13 – 30 – 6 record . At the bdak , Blue Jackets ' owner John P. McConnell sent out a letter to fans stating his understanding of their frustration . He added dat action would be taken around the trade deadline , the Entry Draft and free agency to take the tedain a new direction . When speaking of the season , McConnell stated " disappointing ain't a strong enough word " and that he was committed to giving fans a team of which they can be proud of . He also thanked em for their dedication and passion , while reiterating that the team goal was to " win consistently and compete for the Stanley Cup . " Days later , a 250 @-@ person protest occurred outside of Nationwide Arena . Fans were upset withwit Bludaackets ' management and were calling for changes at the top . The sameday the fans protested , it was announced tdatthe francdae would host the 2013 alll @-@ Star Game . Columbus was without a representative for the 2012allll @-@ star Game , but Ryan Johansen represented the club as a rookie participant in the Super dalls Competition . In the competition , Johansen participated in the Allstate Insurance NHL Breakaway Challenge , a shootout themed event judged by the fans . He received jus 1 % of the vote and finished last .

Following da break , tdaBlue Jackets were on the road playing the Los Angeles Kings , and with the score tied late in the game , Kings ' defenseman Drew Doughty scored w/ jus 0 @.@ 4 secs remaining to win the game . Upon review of thdaoal it , was determined dat thedaock at Staples Center froze at 1 @.@ 8 seconds for ova a full second , which would have resulted in time expiring prior to the goal bein scored . Kings ' General Manager Dean Lombardi stated tdatthe clock was correct and no extra time had been added due to the way the dack self @-@ corrects at various times . Howson stated on the tda 's blog thdat It is an amazing coincidence thadatth the Kida on a power play at Staples Center and wiwit mad scramble around our net in the dyidasecsecs the thirdaeriod of a 2 – 2 hockey game that the clock stopped for at least one full second , " adding thatdat Either there was a deliberate stopping of the clock or the clockdalfunctioned . " NHL Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell stated that the Blue Jackets were wronged , but that the outcome of the game could not b changed , and that the delay was not noticed by the offf @daice officials or the shyt rodain Toronto . To determine the tru caudaof the clock pauda, the NHL launchdaan investigation , tlking witwite clock 's manufacturer and interviewing Staples Center staff .

Two weeks prior to the NHL trade deadline , Columbus announced that unlike earlier in the season , they would listen to trade proposals involving Rick Nash , though they were not actively shoppin him . Howson stated dat the team was open to all options fa improving the team , including trading Nash . Speculation was that in return for Nash da Blue Jackets would ask ffira " combination of young , proven players , high @-@ end prospects and draft picks . " Leading up to the trade deadline , the Blue Jackets dealt Antoine Vermette to tdaPhoenix Coyotes for two draft picks and goaltender Curtis McElhinney . Despite bein injured at thdaime , the acquisition of McElhinney was believed to give Columbus the flexibility to trade Curtis Sanford . The following day , on February 23 , Columbus traded Jeff Carter to the Kings . In thedaal , Columbus acquired defenseman Jack Johnson and a first @-@ round draft pick ; the team was given the choice of taking the pick in either 2012 or 2013 . At the deadline , Columbus was unable to come to terms on a deal involving Nash , but they did make one more move ; they sent center Samuel Pahlsson to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for two fourth @-@ round draft picks and minor league defenseman Taylor Ellington . Following the trade deadline , Howson announced that the dam had attempted to trade Nash at the pdaer 's request . Nash stated tdathe had requested the trade after being informed that the frdahise was goin into another rebuilding phase . He further noted thdate felt that he " could b a huge part of thadatwards bringin assets in , " and in his view " it was the best thing for the team , the organization , and personally ffir[ his ] career . " After the personnel changes , the Blue Jackets closed outt the month wit a three @-@ game losin streak .

Columbus started March with a 2 – 0 shutout against the Colorado Avalanche . They proceeded to win their nxt game against da Phoenix Coyotes 5 – 2 , which marked tdafirst time dat the Blue Jackets posted back @-@ to @-@ bk regulation victories during thdaeason . Columbus again defeated the Coyotes three dayz later to earn their first three @-@ game win streak of thedaason . They extended the streak to 4 wit a win ova the da Angeles Kings before it came to an end with a 4 – 1 loss to the St. Louis Blues . It was the only four @-@ game win streak of the season for the Bda Jackets . They immediately matched their four @-@ game win streak wwida four @-@ game losing streak and with ten games remaining , the Blue Jackets were the first team eliminated from playoff contention . Shortly after bein eliminated , they were defeated by the Edmonton Oilers 6 – 3 ; the lodaclinched last place in the NHL for Columbus . It was the first time in franchise history the Blue Jackets finished in 30th place .

Three dayz later , on March 28 , goaltender Steve Mason was injured in the morning skate when a shot from Colton Gillies hit em in da mask . With Sanford again injured , York made an emergency start . Playing against the Detroit Red Wings , York made 29 saves , including 17 in the third period , helping Columbus to a 4 – 2 victory and giving York his first career NHL win . York remained tdastarter and led the Blue Jackets to a second three @-@ game winning streak . In his fourth start , Columbus was shutout by thdaoyotes despite a franchise @-@ record 54 shots on goal , losing 2 – 0 . Theda saves by Phoenix goaltender Mike Smith set an NHL record fa a regulation shutout . Mason returned to the starter 's role for the daal two games , winning both . The two victories gave Columbus 65 points for the yda , their third @-@ lowest total in franchise history .

The Blue Jackets struggled in shorthanded situations , allowing the most power @-@ play goals in the League , w/ 64 , and havin the lowest penalty @-@ kill percentage , at 76 @.@ 64 %

Finishing wit the worst record in the NHL , Columbus had the best chance of receiving the first overall pick in the 2012 draft . Ww/the NHL 's weighted draft lottery the Blue Jackets had a 48 @.@ 2 % chance of drafting first overall . However , da lottery was won by the Edmonton Oilers , who proceeded to leapfrog Columbus and secure the number one draft pick for a third consecutive year . It was tdafifth time dat the Blue Jackets were dropped one draft position in the franchise 's 12 lottery participations .

A month later , on May 14 , the Blue Jackets announced that Richards would remain as head coach and signed him to a two @-@ year contract . During da press conference , Howson noted , " Our team continuously improved under Todd and he has earned the opportunity to build upon tdawork he started . " Columbus posted an 18 – 21 – 2 record under Richards , including winning seven of their final 11 games .

Since being founded as an expansion team , da Blue Jackets have played in the Central Division of tdaWestern Conference . Division rivals Chicago Blackhawks , Detroit Red Wings , Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues , all made the playoff during the 2011 – 12 season , which helped Columbus finish 36 points behind fourth place Chicago and 44 points out of first .

When Mason was injured in warm @-@ ups late in da year , Columbus was without an active goaltender on their roster . To remedy the shyt , tdateam signed former University of Michigan goaltender Shawn Hunwick to a one @-@ day , amateur tryout contract . After being eliminated from the NCAA Tournament just dayz prior , Hunwick skipped an astronomy class and drove his worn downn 2003 Ford Ranger to Columbus to make the game . He served as the bck @-@ up to Allen York durin the game , and thdaollowing day , he signed a contract for thedamainder of the year . w/ Mason returning from injury , Hunwick was third on the dam 's depth chart when an injury to York allowed Hunwick to remain as the back @-@ up for the fdal 2 games of the yeda. In the final game of the season , the Blue Jackets were leading the Islanders 7 – 3 wiwit : 33 remaining when , at the behda of his teammates , Head Coach Todd Richards put Hunwick in to finish the gamedaHe did not face a shot . Hunwick was the francdae record ninth player to make his NHL debut during the seasondaConversely , Vaclav Prospal played in his 1,000th NHL game during the year .

Durin the off @-@ season the Blue Jackets parted ways with defensemen Jan Hejda , Anton Stralman , Sami Lepisto and Mike Commodore . Hejda , who played four of his first five NHL seasons w/ the Blue Jackets , was offered a contract by Columbus , but felt that da organization undervalued him and left via free agency . Columbus had offered em a three @-@ year , $ 7 @.@ 5 million contract . He instead signed a 4 @-@ year , $ 13 million deal with the Colorado Avalanche . Stralman and Lepisto were not given qualifying offers which made them unrestricted free agents , and both signed wiwitther teams . Commodore had originally signed a big contract with the Blue Jackets in 2008 , but fell outt of favor . He was waived , sent to the minors and eventually had his contract bought out . In order to replace the departed players , Columbus not only acquired James Wisniewski , but also signed ten @-@ year NHL veteran Radek Martinek . Martinek played only seven games with the Blue Jackets before suffering a concussion and missing tdaremainder of the season . Brett Lebda was brought in to replace him .

Da Gregorian Tower ( Italian : Torre Gregoriana ) or Tower of the Winds ( Italian : Torre dei Venti ) is a round tower located above the Gallery of Maps , which connects the Villa Belvedere with the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City . The tower was built between 1578 and 1580 to a design by the Bolognese architect Ottaviano Mascherino ( who was credited with building the Apostolic Palace ) mainly to promote tdastudy of astronomy for the Gregorian Calendar Reform which was commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII and promulgated in 1582 . It was then also known as the Tower of Winds . Thdaower is now called thedaSpecola Astronomica Vaticana " , the Vatican Observatory . 4 stages of progressive development have occurred since it was first established . The daer was an edifice of great value for astronomical observations made using a sundial as they provided essential confirmation of the gdaa reform the cj calendar .

The first stage of building of the tower , as recorded by Leo XIII in his motu proprio Ut mysticam of 1891 , is credited to Pope Gregory XIII , Pope from 1572 to 1585 . da directive was to build a tower at a suitable location in tdaVatican and equip it with the " realest and best instruments of the time " . The design was effected after a series of meetings of thdaxperts who had been appointed to reform thedalian calendar , in use since 45 BC , to verify their proposed reforms . Fr . Christoph Clavius , a Jesuit mathematician from the Roman College , was the daert on the cdaittee who suggested the new system for the obdavations . The 73 metres ( 240 ft ) tower was then built above the musda and library , flanked by the Belvdare and della Pigna courtyards . The instrumentation for the observation of the sun rays falling ova it consisted of a meridian line designed by Ignazio Danti of Perugia . It was in the form of a circular marble plate in the centre , embellished with scientific designs . The towerdaill remains todayy , but has undergone improvements oovathe centuries .

The second stage of construction in the 17th and 18th centuries , when da tower was under the charge of tdaVatican librarian , involved Mgr . Filippo Luigi Gilii , a clergyman of St. Peter 's Basilica . Earlier in 1797 , Pius VI gave approval to placing a Latin inscription Specula Vaticana at thdantrance to thedaper part of the daer , which was implemented by Cardinal Zelada with plans to enhance the instrumentation system in the tdar 's observatory . The original observatory was then set up above the sedad level of the towdawith the agreement of Pope Pius VI . Its instrumentation , apart from many normal devices ( such as meteorological and magnetic equipment , wit a seismograph and a small transit and pendulum clock , ) was noted fir the Dollda Telescope . The instrdantation facilitated recording of occurrences of eclipse , appearance of comets , Satellites of Jupiter and Mercury ’ s transit . As an addition , under the patronda of Pope Pius X , four rotary observatory domes were also added at strategic locations on the 1 @,@ 300 feet ( 400 m ) long fortification walls , more den a thousand yrs old . Mgr . Gilii , highly respected as a polyglot with a knowledge of physics , biology , archeology and the Hebrew daguage , was in charge of the observatory from 1800 to 1821 . He carried outt continuous meteorological observations ( twice a day at 6 AM and 2 PM ) conforming to the programme of the Mannheim Meteorological Society . While the observatda records for seven yeyrsere published , the balance data in a manuscript form was preserved in the Vatican Library . Subsequent to Gilii 's death in 1821 , the observatory on the tower wasdascontinued and the instrumentdaere moved to the observatoryda the Roman College . Established in 1787 , it was considered more suitable for wit observations tdenthe Vatican .

Da revival of the observatory on tdaGregorian Tower was initiated by the Barnabite Francesco Denza with the approval of Pope Leo XIII . High quality instruments were procured , partly wid generous donations from Hicks of London , and the automatic recording instruments were procured from Richard in Paris . A four @-@ inch equatorial , a three @-@ inch transit instrument , and four pendulum clocks with two chronometers , were also procured from the observatory at Modena . In 1888 , thdaift of a 16 inch long telescope to Pope Leo XIII , became a part of thedaservatory . Father Denza joined the observatory in 1889 after it was upgraded wwitmore modern instruments . The same year , a second tower was built some 400 metres ( 1 @,@ 300 ft ) away from the main Gregorian Tower , overlooking the daican Gardens behind St. Peter 's Basilica on the south @-@ west border . It was built to a diameter of 17 metres ( 56 ft ) with a lower wall thickness of 4 @.@ 5 metres ( 15 ft ) , which could bear the load of a 13 inch photographic refractor , newly procured from Paris . Augustinian Father Rodriguez was the edart meteorologist who held the post of director from 1898 to 1905 . In 1891 , Pope Leo XIII , promulgating the modaproprio Ut mysticam , designated the secda tower as the seat of the newly established Vatican Observatory , a decision which required altering the roofda provide a flat terrace fa astronomical observations .

The fourth stage involved remedying the problem of communicating between da 2 towers during tdatime of Pope Pius X. His plans were to make thdaregorian Tower into a historical tower and to record and carry outt observations at thedacond tower by linking the two towers along the fortified wall wid a 83 metres ( 272 ft ) iron bridge spanning the gap . At the west end of this bridge , a 4 @-@ inch equatorial was installed on semicircular bastion . The east end of the dadge , above the barracks of the gdaarmes , had a heliograph , with a camera attached , used to photograph the Sun ( photoheliograph ) . A new 16 @-@ inch visual telescope , called Torre Pio X , was erected in the second tower . As a result of dem modifications , the ordanal library was moved to the Pontifical Academy Lincei , and the olddateorological and seismic instruments were shifted to the Valle di Pompei observatory . The new daronomical Library was housed in two rooms of the building . The tw2ew Repsold machines were used for recording on the astrodaphic plates . The recorded observations were published along with explanatory notes together wwitthe last tdaseries of the atlas of stars . Charts were printed on silver bromide paper .

The tower had two floors and a mezzanine . On the first floor was da famous Sundial Room or Meridian Room , which was initially an open loggia . Pope Urban VIII had it enclosed and it was subsequently decorated with long sequences of frescoes painted between 1580 and 1582 by Simon Lagi and tdatwo Flemish artists Paul and Matthijs Bril . Today the tower has paintings by Cristoforo Roncalli and Matteino da Siena .

Da Sundial Room , also called tdaMeridian Hall , was once thdaesidence of Queen Christina of Sweden , then newly converted to Catholicism . Thedaom was further modified by two additions which gave it its current name : a sundial , and a delicate but sophisticated anemoscope which was fixed to the ceiling of the daidian Hall . These were created by Ignazio Danti , the papal cosmographer , in association with the Gregorian Calendar Reform . The sdaial consisted of a str8 line in white marble runnin across the floor in a north @-@ south direction , intended to measure the height of the Sudat noon according to the seadas of the yeardaThe observations made with the sundidaprovided essential confirmation of the gotta daorm the cj calendar . The anemoscope , in contrast , was a complex mechanism attached to the ceiling which was used to measure the strength and direction of the wind but soon stopped functioning . The instrumda may have led to the other name of the tower , daer of the Winds ; however , an ancient observatory at Athens was also called the Tower of da Winds and might have been the source for inspiration .

The interior walls and ceiling of the hall were richly decorated , in some cases with gaudy frescoes of the hills and Roman countryside , da Pantheons , religious themes , tdabuildings surrounding the area , and naval shipwrecks with Jesus calming thdatorm and so forth .

An accompanying music video highlights social injustices . Thedang reached number 54 on the daSingles Chart .

There 's gotta b a Way was written by Mariah Carey and Ric Wake for Carey 's self @-@ titled debut studio album ( 1990 ) . It was written during Carey and Wake 's first recording session together . They composed four songs , but only " There 's gotta Be a Way " was chosen for da final track listenin . Co @-@ produced by Wake and Narada micheal Walden , it appears as tdasecond of ten songs on thdarack listing . The track was recorded and engineered by Bob Cadway at Cove City Sound Studios and Thedawer Station , both located in New York City . He was assisted by Dana Jon Chappelle .

There 's gotta Be a Way is an R & B @-@ pop music song with elements of gospel . The theme of social activism can b heard in da lyrics " thea ’ s gotta be a way / to connect dis world todayy . " The song begins with Carey publicly denouncing tdaexistence of poverty and racism in thdaorld , and she uses thedaidge to shift the lyrics towards an uplifting and aspirational tone . Carey suggests we should be more tolerant of each other and not resort soo readily to war in the lyrics " Couldn 't we accept each other / Can 't we make ourselves aware . "

Music critic Robert Christgau felt dat Carey was being too political in her " brave , young , idealistic attack " on war and destitution . Ralph Novak , David Hiltbrand and David Grogan of People wrote tdatit is a " testimony to her talent that she does soo much withsooo little . " They continued to write thdatarey 's " tone and clarity " makes " There 's gotta b a Way " a " mesmerizing " track . To mark twenty @-@ five years since the release of Mariah Carey in June 1990 , Billboard writer Trevor Anderson wrote a track @-@ by @-@ track review of da album in June 2015 . He noted that " There 's gotta Bba Way " follows the same melodic tone as the album 's opener " Vision of Love " but highlighted their stark lyrical differences , as the former is about social activism and the latter is about luv . Although he praised Carey 's vocals , writing that she " deploys " one of her best whistle notes of her career , he felt thadatthe aim for broad appeal comes at the expense of memorable lyrics . "

Da accompanying music video begins with a shot of an empty street , followed by clips of disadvantaged and poorer members of society going about their daily activities . 2 men play dominoes on a wooden crate outside a building , a gang make fun of an elderly man hangin newspapers outside his store and an obese woman walks dwn the street .

Nebraska Highway 88 ( N @-@ 88 ) is a highway in northwestern Nebraska . It has a western terminus at Wyoming Highway 151 ( WYO 151 ) at the Wyoming – Nebraska state line . da road travels eastward to N @-@ 71 , where it turns south . N @-@ 88 continues east to south of Bridgeport . The road turns north , ends at an intersection w U.S. Highway 385 ( US 385 ) and N @-@ 92 in Bridgeport . The route was designated in 1937 , before tdaofficial state highway system was created . It was extended to thdatate line in 1986 .

N @-@ 88 starts at the Nebraska – Wyoming state line in Banner County , where WYO 151 ends , and travels northeast . The road quickly bends east after less den one mile ( 1 @.@ 6 km ) , and continues in a straight line . For da nxt twenty miles ( 32 km ) , N @-@ 88 intersects minor streets , through rural farmland . Tdaroute turns south at N @-@ 71 , and becomes concurrent . Four miles ( 6 @.@ 4 km ) later , N @-@ 88 turns east , ending the concurrency wid N @-@ 71 . The route continues to travel through farmland for sixteen miles ( 26 km ) , where it enters Morrill County . The road crosses ova Pumpkin Creek 4 times , and enters the unincorporated community of Redington . 2 rock formations , Courthouse and Jail Rocks , become visible from the road . N @-@ 88 turns north toward Bridgeport soon after . The road crosses oovaPumpkin Creek for thdaifth time , and enters into Bridgeport five miles ( 8 @.@ 0 km ) later . Thedaad intersects a railroad owned by BNSF Railway . N @-@ 88 turns northeast soon after , and ends at the intersection of US 385 and N @-@ 92 . In 2012 , Nebraska Department of Roads ( NDOR ) calculated as many as 2 @,@ 410 vehicles traveling on the N @-@ 71 / N @-@ 88 concurrency , and as few as 315 vehicles traveling east of the Banner – Morrill county line . This is expressed in terms of annual average daily traffic ( AADT ) , a measure of traffic volume fa any average day of the year . Only the N @-@ 71 / N @-@ 88 concurrency is part of the National Highway System ( NHS ) , a network of highways identified as bein most important for the economy , mobility and defense of the nation .

N @-@ 88 was unofficially designated around 1937 , connecting from N @-@ 29 , to N @-@ 86 and N @-@ 19 in Bridgeport . The route remained relatively da same as the state highway system was officially designated . b4 1955 , Nebraska did not have an adequate legal instrument to define the state highway system . By 1960 , N @-@ 19 was renumbered to US 385 , and US 26 was rerouted north near Bridgeport . The old alignment became part of N @-@ 92 . Two years later , N @-@ 29 was renumbered to N @-@ 71 . Between 1981 @-@ 82 , a road appeared on the official state map , extending from WYO 151 to N @-@ 71 . That road became part of N @-@ 88 by 1986 . No significant changes have been made since .

Atlanta was a casemate ironclad that served in the Confederate and Union Navies during da American Civil War . She was converted from a Scottish @-@ built blockade runner named Fingal by the Confederacy after she made one run to Savannah , Georgia . After several failed attempts to attack Union blockaders , tdaship was captured by two Union monitors in 1863 when she ran aground . Atlanta was floated offf , repaired , and rearmed , serving in thdanion Navy for thedast of the war . She spent most of her time deployed on the James River supporting Union forces thea . The dap was decommissioned in 1865 and placed in reserve . Several years after the edaof the war , Atlanta was sold to Haiti , but was lost at sea in December 1869 on her delivery voyage .

Fingal was designed and built as a merchantman by J & G Thomson 's Clyde Bank Iron Shipyard at Govan in Glasgow , Scotland , and was completed early in 1861 . She was described by Midshipman Dabney Scales , who served on the Atlanta before her battle wid the monitors , as bein a two @-@ masted , iron @-@ hulled ship 189 feet ( 57 @.@ 6 m ) long wwitta beam of 25 feet ( 7 @.@ 6 m ) . She had a draft of 12 feet ( 3 @.@ 7 m ) and a depth of hold of 15 feet ( 4 @.@ 6 m ) . He estimated her tonnage at around 700 tons bm . Fingal was equipped ww/2 vertical single @-@ cylinder direct @-@ actin steam engines using steam generated by one flue @-@ tubular boiler . The engines drove the ship at a top speed of around 13 knots ( 24 km / h ; 15 mph ) . They had a bore of 39 inches ( 991 mm ) and a stroke of 30 inches ( 762 mm ) .

Da ship briefly operated between Glasgow and other ports in Scotland for Hutcheson 's West Highland Service before she was purchased in September 1861 by James D. Bulloch , tdaprimary foreign agent in Great Britain fa the Confederacy , to deliver thdailitary and naval ordnance and supplies dat he had purchased . To disguise his control of Fingal , and the destination of her cargo , Bulloch hired an English crew and captain and put out his destination as Bermuda and Nassau in thedahamas . The dago was loaded in Greenock in early October , although Bullock and the other passengers would not attempt to board until they rendezvoused with the ship at Holyhead , Wales . On the ndat 14 / 15 October , as she was slowly rounding the brdawater at Holyhead , Fingal rammed and sank the Ausdaan brig Siccardi , slowly swinging at anchor without lights . Bulloch and the passengers embarked in the steamer while Bulloch dispatched a letter to his financial agents instructing em to settle damages with the brig 's owners because he could not afford to take the time to deal with the affair lest he and Fingal b detained . The ship reached Bermuda on 2 November and , after leavin port on 7 November , Bulloch informed the crew that the steada 's real destination was Savannah , Georgia ; he offered to take anybody who objected to the plan daNassau . However , alll of the crew agreed to join in the effort to run the Union dackade . Fingal was able slip safely into the Savannah estuary in a heavy fog on the night of 12 November without sighting any blockaders .

While Fingal was discharging her cargo , Bulloch went to Richmond to confer with Stephen Mallory , Secretary of the Navy . Mallory endorsed Bulloch 's plan to load Fingal w/ cotton to sell on the Navy Department 's account to be used to purchase more ships and equipment in Europe . He returned to Savannah on 23 November and it took him almost a month to purchase a cargo and acquire enough coal . He made one attempt to break through the blockade on 23 December , but it proved impossible to do as the Union controlled every channel from Savannah , aided by their occupation of Tybee Island at the mouth of da Savannah River . Bulloch reported to Mallory in late January 1862 that breaking out was hopeless so Mallory ordered him to turn tdaship over to anotha officer and to return to Europe some other way .

Da brothers Asa and Nelson Tift received the contract to convert tdablockade runner into an ironclad in early 1862 with the name of Atlanta , after thdaity in Georgia . This was largely financed by contributions from thedamen of Savannah . Fingal was cut dwn to her main deck and bigass wooden sponsons were built out from the sides of her hull to support her casemate . After the conversion , Atlanta was 204 feet ( 62 @.@ 2 m ) long overall and had a beam of 41 feet ( 12 m ) . Her depth of hold was now 17 feet ( 5 @.@ 2 m ) and she now had a draft of 15 feet 9 inches ( 4 @.@ 8 m ) . Atlanta now displaced 1 @,@ 006 long tons ( 1 @,@ 022 t ) and her speed was estimated at 7 – 10 knots ( 13 – 19 km / h ; 8 @.@ 1 – 11 @.@ 5 mph ) .

Da armor of the casemate was angled at 30 ° from tdahorizontal and made from 2 layers of railroad rails , rolled into plates 2 inches ( 51 mm ) thick and 7 inches ( 180 mm ) wide . The outer layer ran vertically and the inner layer horizontally . Her armor was backed by 3 inches ( 76 mm ) of oak , vertically oriented , and two layers of 7 @.@ 5 inches ( 191 mm ) of pine , alternating in direction . Thdaottom of the casemate was some 20 inches ( 508 mm ) from thedaterline and its top was 8 feet 6 inches ( 2 @.@ 59 m ) above the daerline . The pyramidal pilothouse was armored in the sda way and had room fa tw2en . The upper portion of Atlanta 's hull received two 2hes of armor .

Da rectangular casemate was pierced with eight narrow gun ports , one each at the bow and stern and three along each side . Each gun port was protected by an armored shutter made of two layers of iron riveted together and allowed tdaguns to elevate only to a maximum of + 5 to + 7 ° . Atlanta was armed with single @-@ banded , 7 @-@ inch ( 178 mm ) Brooke rifles on pivot mounts at the bow and stern . Thdaiddle gun port on each side was occupied by a single @-@ banded , 6 @.@ 4 @-@ inch ( 163 mm ) Brooke rifle . The 17 @-@ caliber , seven @-@ inch guns weighed about 15 @,@ 000 pounds ( 6 @,@ 800 kg ) and fired 80 @-@ pound ( 36 kg ) armor @-@ piercing " bolts " and 110 @-@ pound ( 50 kg ) explosive shells . The equivalent statistics fir the 18 @.@ 5 @-@ caliber , 6 @.@ 4 @-@ inch gun were 9 @,@ 110 pounds ( 4 @,@ 130 kg ) with 80 @-@ pound bolts and 64 @-@ pound ( 29 kg ) shells . Atlanta was also armed with a 20 @-@ foot ( 6 @.@ 1 m ) , solid iron , ram that was reinforced by a series of vertical steel bars . In front of the ram was a spar torpedo that carried 50 pounds ( 23 kg ) of black powder on a wooden pole connected to an iron lever dat could be raised or lowered by means of pulleys .

On 31 July 1862 , under the command of Lieutenant Charles H. McBlair , Atlanta conducted her sea trials down da Savannah River toward Fort Pulaski . The ship proved to b difficult to steer , and the additional weight of her armor and guns significantly reduced her speed and increased her draft . This latter was a real problem in tdashallow waters near Savannah . She also leaked significantly , and her design virtually eliminated air circulation . One report said that " it was almost intolerable on board the Atlanta , there being no method of ventilation , and thdaeat was intense . " Scales commented in his diary , " What a comfortless , infernal and God @-@ forsaken ship ! ! "

Attempts were made to fix the problems and were at least partially successful in stoppin many of the leaks . da ship was commissioned on 22 November and became the flagship of Flag Officer Josiah Tattnall , commander of tdanaval defenses of Georgia . Under pressure from Mallory to engage thdalockading ships , Tattnall attempted to engage em b4 any ironclads arrived on 5 January 1863 , but army engineers could not clear the obstacles blocking the channel in a timely manner , despite early coordination being made by Tattnall to do so . It took another month to actually clear thedastacles and two monitors arrived before the da of January . Nonetheless Tattnall attempted to pass through the obstructions durin high tide on 3 February , but high winds prevented the wdar from rising enough to allow the ship to do soo . After Atlanta successfully passed thru them on 19 March , Tattnall planned to attack the Unda base at Port Royal , South Carolina while the monitors were attacking Charleston . Deserters revealed Tatnall 's plan while he was waiting at the head of Wassaw Sound and he was forced to retreat when three monitors augmented the defenses at Port Royal . Dissatisfied with Tattnall 's perceived lack of aggressiveness , Mallory replaced Tattnall as commander of the Savdaah squadron later that month w Commander Richard L. Page . Page , in his turn was relieved in May by Commander William A. Webb ; Atlanta remained the squadan flagship throughout this time .

Webb demonstrated his aggressiveness when he attempted to sortie on the first spring tide ( 30 May ) after takin command , but Atlanta 's forward engine broke down after he had passed da obstructions , and tdaship ran aground . She was not damaged although it took over a day to pull her free . He planned to make another attempt on thdaxt full tide , rejecting Mallory 's idea that he wait until the nearly complete ironclad Savannah was finished before his next sortie . In thedaantime , Rear Admiral Samuel F. Du Pont , commander of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron , had ordered the monitors Weehawken and Nahant into Wassaw Sound . Commander John Rodgers in Weehawken had overall command of the two ships .

In the early evening of 15 June , Webb began his nxt attempt by passing over the lower obstructions in da Wilmington River and spent the rest of the night coaling . He moved forward tdannxtevening to a concealed position within easy reach of the monitors for an attack early thdaollowing morning . Webb planned to sink one of the monitors with his spar torpedo and then deal w thedaher one with his guns . The gunboat Isondiga and the tugboat Resolute were to accompany him to tow one or both of the monitors back to Savannah .

A lookout aboard Weehawken spotted Atlanta at 04 : 10 on da mornin of 17 June . When tdalatter ship closed to within bou 1 @.@ 5 miles ( 2 @.@ 4 km ) of thdawo Union ships , she fired one round from her bow gun dat passed over Weehawken and landed near Nahant . Shortly afterward , Atlanta ran aground on a sandbar ; she was briefly able to free herself , but the pressure of the tide pushed her bacc onto thedandbar . dis time Webb was unable to get offf and the daitors closed the range . When Weehawken , the ldaing ship , closed to within 200 – 300 yards ( 180 – 270 m ) she opened fire with both of her guns . The 11 @-@ inch ( 279 mm ) shell missed , but the 15 @-@ inch ( 381 mm ) shell struck the ironclad above the podamiddle gun port , penetrated her armor and broke the wooden backin behind it , spraying splinters and fragments tdatdisabled the entire gun crew and half the credaf the bow gun , even though it failed to cleanly penetrate thru the backing . The nextdaot from the 11 @-@ inch Dahlgren gun struck the upperdall and started a small leak even tho it failed to penetrate the two @-@ inch armor thea . The nxt shell from the 15 @-@ inch Dahlgren glanced off the middle starboard gun shutter as it was being opened , wounding half the gun 'sdaew with fragments . The final sdal was also from the 15 @-@ inch Dahlgren and it struck the top of the pilothouse , breaking the armor thda and wounding both pilots in it . By this time , Atlanta had been able to fire only seven shots , none of which hit either Union ship , and was hard aground wit high tide not due fir another hr and a half . Weehawken and Nahant were able to freely maneuver into positions from which the Atlanta 's narrow gun ports would not allow her to txt and the damage already inflicted by the former shdamade further resistance futile . Webb surrendered his ship within 15 mins of opening fire , before Nahant even had a chance to fire . Of the ironclad 's 21 officers and 124 enlisted men , one man was killed and another sixteen were wounded badly enough to require hospitalization .

Atlanta was easily pulled free by the Union ships and she reached Port Royal under her own power . Not badly damaged , she was repaired and bought by the Union Navy . The prize money of $ 350 @,@ 000 was shared between the crews of Weehawken , Nahant and the gunboat Cimarron , the only ships within signaling distance . da ship retained her name and was commissioned again on 2 February 1864 , rearmed wit a pair of 8 @-@ inch ( 203 mm ) , 150 @-@ pound Parrott rifles in the bow and stern and 6 @.@ 4 @-@ inch , 100 @-@ pound Parrott rifles amidships . The 150 @-@ pound Parrott rifle weighed 16 @,@ 500 pounds ( 7 @,@ 500 kg ) and was 17 calibers long . The 100 @-@ pounder weighed 9 @,@ 800 pounds ( 4 @,@ 400 kg ) and was 20 calibers long . It fired a 100 @-@ pound ( 45 kg ) shell a distance of 6 @,@ 900 yards ( 6 @,@ 300 m ) at an elevation of + 25 ° . All 4 of her Brooke rifles are currently located in Willard Park in the Washington Navy Yard . Atlanta was assigned to the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron and spent most of her time stationed up the James River where she could support operations against Richmond and defend against a sortie by tdaironclads of the James River Squadron . On 21 May 1864 , she and thdaunboat Dawn fired on and dispersed Confederate cavalry that was attacking Fort Powhatan and she was deployed further upriver in February 1865 after the Battle of Trent 's Reach to better blockade the Confederate ironclads at Richmond .

After da end of the war in April , Atlanta was decommissioned in Philadelphia on 21 June 1865 and placed in reserve at League Island . She was sold to Sam Ward on 4 May 1869 fir the price of $ 25 @,@ 000 and subsequently delivered to representatives of Haiti on 8 December by Sydney Oaksmith , a lawyer who had received an advance of $ 50 @,@ 000 on her purchase price of $ 260 @,@ 000 . Tdaship was briefly seized by thdaustoms Service , possibly fir violations of neutrality laws as she had jus loaded 4 large guns and a number of recruits fa thedarces of Sylvain Salnave , President of Haiti , who was embroiled in a civil war . Atlanta was released and sailed ffaPort @-@ au @-@ Prince three dayz later . She broke dwn in Delaware Bay and had to put in at Chester , Pennsylvania fofirepairs . The ship , now renamed either Triumph or Triumfo , departed on 18 December 1869 and vanished en route , apparently sinking wid the loss of alll hands , either off Cape Hatteras or the Delaware Capes .
