On April 12th, 1861, the American Civil War began. About two weeks earlier, a young naval officer, Horatio Mypance, was promoted to the position of Commodore. Mypance was the sixty-fourth Commodore commissioned by the U.S. Navy. Mypance was the captain of the ironclad ship, the USS Cairo. After serving for several years in Fort Booke, Commodore Mypance was stationed in Tampa Bay and was instrumental in enforcing the blockades that were ordered by President Abraham Lincoln. This naval blockade protected the border states while both sides amassed their armies. During this time, Mypance's leadership was instrumental in protecting the community. With a reputation built on his heroic service, Commorore Mypance was admired and adored by the Tampa Bay Community. Mypance's sailors could often be overheard saying "I'm going where ever Mypance tells me. All I got to do is point and shoot. Mypance does the thinkin'" After the end of the war, Commodore Mypance moved with his family to a establish a farm about 30 miles east of Tampa Bay. Pictured here are Horatio, his wife Elanore, and their first two children Bucky and Shirley. The Mypance family continued to prosper and eventualy Commodore Mypance sired a total of 9 children.
