Ship Name and Designation History

This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime. The list is in chronological order.

Naval Covers

This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date range for covers on that page.

  1. Crosby Covers Page 1     (1940)

 


Postmarks

This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
 
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the existing example.

Other Information

CROSBY earned 10 Battle Stars (WWII) and an Navy Unit Commendation Medal

NAMESAKE - Peirce Crosby (January 16 1824 - June 15 1899)
Crosby was appointed a Midshipman in the U.S. Navy in June 1838, he reached the rank of Lieutenant in September 1853 after a decade and a half in ships of the Home and Mediterranean Squadrons, plus coast survey duty, Mexican War action and shore assignments in and around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. From late 1853 until the outbreak of the Civil War in the spring of 1861, Lieutenant Crosby served in the Sloops of War GERMANTOWN, of the Brazil Squadron, and SARATOGA, and on board the Receiving Ship PRINCETON at Philadelphia. During April-October 1861, as the War between the States ran through its first half year, Crosby served in the Sloop of War CUMBERLAND and briefly commanded the new Gunboat PEMBINA. He went to the Gulf of Mexico as Commanding Officer of the Gunboat PINOLA at the beginning of 1862, subsequently performing valuable service during the campaigns to capture New Orleans and other strategic points on the lower Mississippi. For two years beginning in November 1862, Crosby helped enforce the blockade of the Confederacy's East Coast as Commanding Officer of the Steamers SANGAMON, FLORIDA, and KEYSTONE STATE, and as Fleet Captain of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. He finished the war in the Gulf, commanding the Gunboat METACOMET, and took part in clearing mines from Mobile Bay. Commander Crosby spent the first three years of the post-Civil War era in the south Atlantic as Commanding Officer of the Gunboat SHAMOKIN. Following promotion to Captain in May 1868, he had a variety of shore assignments and, in 1872-1873, commanded the big Steamer POWHATAN. In 1877-1881, in the rank of Commodore, Crosby was commandant of the League Island (Philadelphia) Navy Yard. He finished his active career as a Rear Admiral, commanding the South Atlantic Station in 1882-1883 and the Asiatic Station later in 1883. In October of the latter year he was placed on the Retired List. Rear Admiral Peirce Crosby died at Washington, D.C., on June 15 1899
