Led by Midshipman Chris OKeefe (now an ensign), A History of the Navy in 100 Objects premiered Feb. 23 on the Naval Academy website. Modeled after BBCs A History of the World in 100 Objects. It was while listening to the BBC podcasts that he realized that the Navy didnt have a similar series about its history and heritage and decided to produce his own. In his spare time, OKeefe set about identifying objects in the Naval Academy collections to develop the series, and interviewed experts from the Naval Academy, the Naval Institute and elsewhere about the objects. Twice a week, for the next 50 weeks, a new object will be released. The first entries: John Paul Jones crypt and the Beverley R. Robinson print collection.
