This despite all the hoo ha about so called "cutting edge" research on the photo. It was plain to most researchers and even the experts at the Naval HIstorical Center that the photo was definitely not what it was claimed to be. The uniforms, the ship in the top right left corner, and other factors showed that it could not be American, Union or Confederate, yet Tarburton kept wanting to believe that it was the CSS ALABAMA. We tried to warn them that it was not what they claimed, but they would not believe us. Sadly, it seems that they will not advise everyone of their error, and thus these incorrect claims remain all over the Internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33174501.post-13629289414941813352010-09-10T14:27:03.679-05:002010-09-10T14:27:03.679-05:00Although he may at times have information that has...Although he may at times have information that has some base in truth, I advise you to take Ron Tarburton's info with a grain of salt. He is a self-proclaimed authority on many topics. He manufactures "proof" that is often disputed by people with true expertise. One of his more recent research findings relates to Gettysburg Battlefield. He claims to have discovered tombs, with gold and jade artifacts, hidden there by the Phoenicians. He claims that the National Park Service is involved in removing these artifacts and keeping this from public knowledge.<br /><br />He makes incredible leaps to conclusions, e.g., he knows that Jack Kennedy was involved in the death of his older brother and that the President was not assasinated - he is still alive. It was all an elaborate conspiracy perpetrated by the "mob" and the government to keep the scandal from the public. He claimed to have been writing a book based on his research when his home was visited by CIA agents (or as he refers to them - the Company) and his life was threatened.<br /><br />This guy believes his own stories.<br /><br />Tarburton moved from Pennsylvania in the past year and currently states his address as 1214 E. 26th Ave., Tampa, FL 33605. His e-mail address is mohhistory99 @ aol.com.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
