    Santee River


    The Santee River is a river in South Carolina in the United States, approximately 143 mi (230 km long). The Santee and its tributaries provide the principal drainage and navigation for the central coastal plain of South Carolina, emptying into the Atlantic Ocean approximately 440 mi (710 km) from its farthest headwater on the Catawba River in North Carolina, Much of upper river is impounded as the expansive horn-shaped Lake Marion reservoir, formed by the 8 mi (12.9 km) long Santee Dam, built during the 1930s as a WPA project to provide a major source of hydroelectric power for the state.

    Description

    The Santee is formed in central South Carolina approximately 25 mi (40 km) southeast of Columbia by the confluence of the Wateree and Congaree rivers. It flows southeast for approximately 5 mi (8 km) before entering the northwest corner of Lake Marion, which stretches in a long wide arc to the southeast for approximately 30 mi (48 km) to Santee Dam. A navigable diversion canal first built in the 1790s at the southern tip of the lake connects to Lake Moultrie, a reservoir on the nearby Cooper River. The modern canal is operated by Santee Cooper as part of the larger hydroelectric project on both rivers. Downstream from the reservoir it flows east, then southeast, forming the northeast boundary of Francis Marion National Forest. Approximately 10 mi (16 km) from its mouth it bifurcates into two channels, called the North Santee and South Santee, that flow parallel and separated by approximately 2 mi (3.2 km), creating Cedar Island. The two channels reach the ocean at Santee Point, approximately 15 mi (24 km) south of Georgetown.

    History

    The river was named by early settlers after the Santee tribe, which inhabited areas on the middle part of the river. The first European contact was by the Spanish, who sailed up the river in the 1660s. After suffering a defeat by the British in 1715-1716, the Santee were relocated, many to the West

    Santee River


    I tried to find information on the naming of pages about rivers and other geographic formations, but based on Naming conventions, there doesn't seem to be any policy about it. Some of the rivers near Charleston, South Carolina have page titles including the name of the state, which seems to be common practice for US cities. I rather like that method because I think it cuts down on confusion and potential confusion. Should this page be retitled Santee River (South Carolina)? Since I am not a member of the community (nor do I wish to join), I cannot move the page myself and am not certain that would be a decision I could make anyway. :What you're talking about with parentheses and state names is the disambiguation of pages. That's done only when there are more than one river with the same name. In the Santee River http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form this USGS says there is only one river with this name, so it gets to have the name all to itself. -- Decumanus 08:26, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)

    USS Santee (1855)


    The first USS ''Santee'' of the United States Navy was one of its last sailing frigates in service. Rated at 44 guns, she was laid down in 1820 by the Portsmouth Navy Yard, but due to a shortage of funds, she long remained uncompleted on the stocks. She was finally launched on 16 February 1855, but not commissioned until 9 June 1861, Captain Henry Eagle in command. ''Santee'' departed Portsmouth on 20 June 1861, stopped at Hampton Roads to load ammunition, and resumed her voyage to the Gulf of Mexico on 10 July. On 8 August, the frigate captured schooner ''C. P. Knapp'' in the gulf some 350 miles south of Pensacola and escorted the blockade runner to that port. On 27 October, ''Santee'' took her second prize, ''Delta'', off Galveston; the hermaphrodite brig had attempted to slip into Galveston with a cargo of salt from Liverpool. Shortly before midnight on 7 November, boats left the frigate and entered Galveston Bay hoping to capture and burn the Confederate armed steamer, ''General Rusk''. However, in attempting to avoid detection, the boats ran aground. Since he had lost the advantage of surprise, the expedition's commander, Lt. James E. Jouett, cancelled his plans to attack ''General Rusk'' and turned his attention to the chartered Confederate lookout vessel, ''Royal Yacht''. After a desperate hand-to-hand fight, he captured ''Royal Yacht's'' crew, set the armed schooner afire, and retired to ''Santee'' with about a dozen prisoners. During the action, one man from the frigate was killed and two of her officers and six of her men were wounded, one mortally. After a five or six-mile chase on 30 December, boats from ''Santee'' captured 14-ton Confederate schooner, ''Garonne''. Capt. Eagle stripped the prize for use as a lighter. In January 1862, when the Union naval force in the Gulf of Mexico was divided into two squadrons, ''Santee'' was assigned to Flag Officer David Farragut's new West Gulf Blockading Squadron. Under the new organization, ''Santee'' continued
