Cruiser Olympia (C-6) is the oldest remaining steel ship afloat, built during a transformative time in American culture, science, and technology. Rising to fame as Commodore (later Admiral) George Dewey’s flagship during the Battle of Manila Bay in 1898, the ship served in various capacities during her time in service, including as a training vessel and providing humanitarian relief in the Adriatic. Her last act of service, before being decommissioned, was to bring home the American Unknown Soldier from World War I from Le Havre, France, to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

About Matr Boomie Fair Trade
Traveling back 3,000 years to ancient India, you will hear Sanskrit, one of the oldest languages, spoken on the tongues of people walking in the streets. It is here where we find inspiration for our company name. In Sanskrit, matr signifies ‘mother’ and boomie stands for ‘land’. Together, Matr Boomie means motherland, the ground we walk on, the creative source. Here at Matr Boomie Fair Trade, our vision is to create a world that is playful, compassionate, kind and connected. We use trade as a tool for positive change by distributing products for ethical living. Each timeless piece is handcrafted through processes which are gentle for the planet and safe for its people. We are a one stop destination for ethical and sustainable gift shopping. Our collection of fair trade jewelry, home decor and unique gifts are made from natural and upcycled materials that are sourced in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. We are members of the Fair Trade Federation and partner with over 1,500 artisans in marginalized communities throughout India to create economic and sustainable living opportunities, with a special focus on women.
