From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Commodore Isaac Hull's house

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" photo features Commodore Isaac Hull's house.

Hull was a Commodore in the United States Navy, and commanded several famous U.S. naval ships, including the USS Constitution. His uncle, William Hull, was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War and adopted Isaac when he was a young boy after his father had died.

The U.S. Navy has named five ships in honor of Isaac Hull, including the USS Commodore Hull, the USS Hull (DD-7), the USS Hull (DD-330), the USS Hull (DD-350) and the USS Hull (DD-945).

In addition, the portion of Route 8 that spans the Housatonic River between Derby and Shelton is named the Commodore Isaac Hull Memorial Bridge in his honor.

Thanks as always to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
