Wilhelm Bauer, a Bavarian inventor, took three musicians under the waters of Kronstadt Harbor in a submarine he had built, where they played appropriate music during the coronation. The music was distinctly heard on the surface.

Whist perusing the latest edition of "The Trade" the Oz Submarine community publication http://www.navy.gov.au/Publication:The_Trade I came across the issuing order that initiated your Memorial Day http://www.usmemorialday.org/order11.html

Interesting the snippets of information that you can find.
