A WWI Diary That Never Was

WWI Diary was to have brought you the whole of World War I as it was reported in the papers of the day, exactly 100 years later. For a year I blogged news leading up to the big war, thinking if there was any real interest regular readers would trickle in. They did not. Count: zero. So I stopped blogging the war news. For students of the time, 1914-1918 editions are available on the Web as thousands of individual articles via a Times service called Spiderbites.

Virginia At Vera Cruz.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 4, 1913:
Returns with Admiral Fletcher — Georgia and Vermont Near.
VERA CRUZ, March 3.—The United States battleship Virginia, with Rear Admiral Frank F. Fletcher on board, returned to this port to-day from Tampico. She anchored inside the harbor.
The battleships Georgia and Vermont are lying outside.
