Southwestern Historical Quarterly
very closely resembles a navy cutlass, and I suspect that it was
captured on the Lane.
There is a report that the ship's bell is in Sam Houston Park
in Houston, but I have been unable to verify this. And in one of
the cases under the care of the Daughters of the Confederacy there
is a copy of one of the novels of Sir Walter Scott, a prize from the
cabin of the old ship; perhaps it was Commander Wainwright's.
The memory of the vessel is still green with the Revenue Cutter
Service, now the Coast Guard. A new Harriet Lane now sails the
seas, propelled by modern Diesel engines, and stationed at a post of
honor and responsibility, at Provincetown, Massachusetts, jutting
out into the Atlantic. I think this is the only ship in the service
of the United States to bear the name of a real woman of modern
times. Certainly the first ship of that name had a useful, dramatic
and notable life.

(Attending the meeting were two ladies, one of whom told me
that her mother had a fine mirror, a relic from the Lane. The
other told that her mother had worn for special occasions a
pair of white shoes, brought from Havana as a result of the
Lane's trip.)
