10 photo Panorama off Panama City

These anchored ships are waiting for a cheaper "slot" to enter the Panama Canal (Pacific side) -- there were other ships waiting which are not in the photo. It cost our cruise ship at least $250,000 to transit the canal. Panama City in background, left side. At least 28 high rises had building cranes on top, or were otherwise obviously under construction.

Henry Howard -- out of the frame


Here is a cleaned up version of Henry Howard. He was a button Maker. Lee received the following from a Civil War historian, who had information on Massachusetts Volunteers. It appears Henry may have died from his wounds, before 1875.

Hi Mr. Webb,

I have two regimental history books on the tenth. I did find a Henry N. Howard.

The Tenth Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry by Alfred S. Roe. (1909).
Pg. 121. Casualities In The Tenth, July 1,1862. Company D..... Wounded ..... Henry N. Howard.
Pg. 408 Company D. Howard,Henry N. b. Grafton; 20, Single; button maker, Northampton; June 14, '61; wd. July 1, '62, Malvern Hill; dis. No date, disa.; died before 1875.

"Ours." Annals Of 10th Regiments,Massachusetts Volunteers In The Rebellion. By Capt. Joseph Newell (1875).

Pg. 468. Henry N. Howard, button maker, was born at Grafton, N.Y.; enlisted May 31, 1861; age,twenty; wounded at Malvern; discharged for disability ; died.


Hope this helps.
