You can view the original research paper done by Dr. Beach on our web site at youngsanders.org
Go to Articles on the menu board of youngsanders.org Under Articles go to Louisiana History. Under Louisiana History go to Diana Article.
Dr. Beach informs me that he has additional information on the Diana since he first presented his article. His PowerPoint presentation on July 8th will not be presented on line.

You can also learn more about the Gunboat Diana from Morris Raphael's book entitled "A Gunboat Named Diana" published in 1993, Harlo, Detroit. Dr. Beach met with Morris Raphael on several occassions to discuss his research. Dr. Beach's last meeting with Morris Raphael was last year one week before Morris Raphael died. They had become good friends. We do have copies of "A Gunboat Named Diana" for sale here at the Center.
