You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.206.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:17, 2 July 2025. Your current IP address is 34.206.52.215.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The wooden-hulled screw steam yacht '''''Red Cross''''' was completed in 1892 at [[East Providence, RI]], and by 1907 had been renamed '''''Admiral'''''. At that time, the yacht was owned by the banker, [[George Rumsey Sheldon]]. She was next owned by Irving T. Bush (1869–1948), the founder and creator of the famed [[Bush Terminal]] in South [[Brooklyn, NY]], before being acquired by the president of the Submarine Signal Co., of New London, Gordon Dexter (1864–1937) about 1914.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Powers|first1=Stephen T.|last2=Mooney|first2=James L.|date=December 1983|title=Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, Vol. VII.|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/1987880|journal=Military Affairs|volume=47|issue=4|pages=208|doi=10.2307/1987880|jstor=1987880 |issn=0026-3931}}</ref>

When the United States entered [[World War I]], the [[American Navy]] sought ships to perform a variety of tasks, including local patrol. The Navy acquired ''Admiral'' from Gordon Dexter on 5 July 1917, and placed her in commission at Lawley's Ship Yard, [[Boston, Mass.]], on 7 August 1917.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Powers|first1=Stephen T.|last2=Mooney|first2=James L.|date=December 1983|title=Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, Vol. VII.|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/1987880|journal=Military Affairs|volume=47|issue=4|pages=208|doi=10.2307/1987880|jstor=1987880 |issn=0026-3931}}</ref>

''Admiral'', given the classification SP-967, performed routine patrol duty in the [[1st Naval District]] through the winter of 1917 and 1918. In the course of her operations toward the end of that period, the yacht cast off from Commonwealth Pier, at the Boston Section Base, at 0055 on 26 March 1918, with one petty officer and eight enlisted men of a naval port guard detachment embarked for passage to Plymouth. ''Admiral'' proceeded uneventfully south by east until 0420, when she struck a boulder off [[Brant Rock]], near the town of [[Scituate, Massachusetts]], and began shipping water.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Powers|first1=Stephen T.|last2=Mooney|first2=James L.|date=December 1983|title=Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, Vol. VII.|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/1987880|journal=Military Affairs|volume=47|issue=4|pages=208|doi=10.2307/1987880|jstor=1987880 |issn=0026-3931}}</ref>

Within the hour, the situation on board had worsened to the point that the pumps could no longer hold their own against the in-rushing water. The nearby life-saving stations at Brant Rock and Gurnet dispatched boats to the scene and took off the port guard detachment and 17 men of the crew as well. ''Admiral'' herself sent a boat ashore to obtain help at 0530. The latter returned with the two [[Coast Guard]] boats soon thereafter, while ''Admiral''{{'}}s remaining men expeditiously offloaded ammunition, fittings, and stores into the ship's lifeboats, dory, and cutter. Ultimately, at 0755, ''Admiral'' sank in 11 [[fathoms]] of water.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Powers|first1=Stephen T.|last2=Mooney|first2=James L.|date=December 1983|title=Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, Vol. VII.|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/1987880|journal=Military Affairs|volume=47|issue=4|pages=208|doi=10.2307/1987880|jstor=1987880 |issn=0026-3931}}</ref>

After being raised and refitted for service, ''Admiral'' was placed in commission at Baker's Yacht Basin, [[Quincy, Mass.]], on 1 August 1918 and assigned to "Group 2, Minesweepers," in the 1st Naval District's Boston section. She soon resumed patrol operations and continued this duty through February 1919, ranging from her section base at Boston to [[Rockland, Maine]], and the [[Portsmouth, NH]] Navy Yard. Struck from the Navy list on 7 May 1919, in General Order No. 295, ''Admiral'' was decommissioned at Baker's Yacht Basin on 13 May 1919, and ultimately sold to E. N. Goodsell of Pittsburgh, N.Y., on 29 October 1920.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Powers|first1=Stephen T.|last2=Mooney|first2=James L.|date=December 1983|title=Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, Vol. VII.|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/1987880|journal=Military Affairs|volume=47|issue=4|pages=208|doi=10.2307/1987880|jstor=1987880 |issn=0026-3931}}</ref>
