Located about 5 miles away is this school that Capt. Inman Sealby attended as a child. Capt. Sealby was captain of the RMS Republic which sank in 1909. Through his efforts and the first use of the Marconi wireless only two passengers died unlike the RMS Titanic 3 years later. For more info on the ship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Republic_(1903)
Retired educator - taught mathematics in high school, went back to graduate school, worked in research labs, and finally went back and taught computer science...
This is interesting. Actually this building isn't bad. I'll bet it was considered nice when it was new. I've seen some really primative old schools scattered throughout the Southern US. Is that tile on the outside?
@afronaut@vernabeth@tralo29@cscecil@bilky Thank you for your comments and suggestions. The school house is being used by the local farmer as a storage shed which has probably saved it from total deterioration.
Oh, the stories this old school could tell. . .
