Nelson County is a county located in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As of the 2010 census, the population was estimated to be 15,020, its county seat is Lovingston. Nelson County is part of VA Metropolitan Statistical Area. Nelson County is home to a local ski area. Nelson County is home to ten wineries, five craft breweries, two cideries, two distilleries, many fruit orchards and Crabtree Falls. At the time the English began settling Virginia in the 1600s, the inhabitants of what is now Nelson County were a Siouan-speaking tribe called the Nahyssan, they were connected to the Manahoac. Nelson County was created in 1807 from Amherst County; the government was formed the following year. The county is named for Thomas Nelson, Jr. a signer of the U. S. Declaration of Independence, who served as Governor of Virginia in 1781. An earlier Virginia county named in his honor, became part of Kentucky when it separated from Virginia in 1792. On the night of August 19–20, 1969, Nelson County was struck by disastrous flooding caused by Hurricane Camille.
The hurricane hit the Gulf Coast two days earlier, weakened over land, stalled on the eastern side of the Blue Ridge Mountains, dumping a world record quantity of 27 inches of rain in a three-hour period. Over five hours, it yielded more than 37 inches, while the previous day had seen a deluge of 5 inches in half an hour, with the ground saturated. There were reports of animals drowning in trees and people who had had to cup their hands around their mouth and nose to breathe. Flash floods and mudslides killed 153 people, 31 from Roseland and Massies Mill alone. Over 133 public bridges were washed out in Nelson County. In the tiny community of Davis Creek, 52 people could not be found; the bodies of some people have never been found. The entire county was cut off, with many roads and all bridges, radio/TV, electric service interrupted; the waters of the Tye, Piney and Rockfish rivers flow into the James River. There was massive flooding elsewhere in Virginia, such as along the Maury River, which destroyed the town of Glasgow in Rockbridge County.
The James River and its tributaries drain Nelson County, but in the face of massive flooding from other tributaries such as Hatt Creek the James River crested more than 20 feet above flood stage at Westham, as Nelson County citizens watched portions of houses and other buildings and dead livestock flow past. Just a few miles further downstream, the James River crested at the City Locks in Richmond at 28.6 feet swamping downtown areas and flooding a substantial portion of South Richmond. The Hurricane Camille disaster did over $140 million in damage across Virginia, however in no other place in Virginia was the storm as devastating and deadly as in Nelson County, where one percent of the population was killed and where many bodies were never recovered. According to the U. S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 474 square miles, of which 471 square miles is land and 3.5 square miles is water. The Blue Ridge Mountains form the northwest boundary of the county. Internally, Nelson consists of the Rockfish and Piney rivers, along with many known creeks.

SS Clifton Samuel Mather, was a whaleback lake freighter built in 1892 for service on the Great Lakes. She was 308 foot long, 30 foot beam, 24 foot depth, had a 3,500 ton capacity; the self-propelled barge was built by the American Steel Barge Company in Wisconsin. Her builders used a design well-suited to carry iron ore, her intended trade; the new vessel was christened Samuel Mather, after a cofounder of Pickands Mather and Company, which at the time was the second largest fleet on the Great Lakes. After 31 years of service as an ore boat, the vessel was superannuated out of iron ore and was refitted as a carrier of stone aggregate, her 1923–1924 refitting included the installation of topside self-unloading gear. The Smith-patented tunnel scrapers were intended to enable the ship to unload more and to offload at ports that could not be serviced by ship. En route between Sturgeon Bay and Detroit on the night of September 21–22, 1924, while loaded with crushed stone, she encountered a storm and sank off Lake Huron's Thunder Bay Island with the loss of Captain Emmett Gallagher and the crew.
According to one historian, Clifton became a "ghost ship of the Great Lakes", as there were no survivors and the events leading up to the disaster were not known. The vessel's wreck was discovered on the bed of Lake Huron by technical divers in September 2016, with the discovery confirmed by further dives and research in 2017; when the lost vessel was rediscovered, it was found that a poetic folk ballad, written before 1932 by an Irish-American neighbor of the lost captain, contained a accurate description of the ship's foundering. The Clifton was built by the American Steel Barge Co. and launched in 1892. Designed by Captain Alexander McDougall, whalebacks had a unique form, their unusual design included a hull that curved, which when loaded resembled a whale's back. They were the precursors of the turret deck ship of the late 19th and early 20th century, which like the whaleback had rounded hulls, but unlike the whaleback had conventional bows and sterns and a superstructure. A total of 44 whaleback vessels were constructed from 1887 to 1898, with most operating in the Great Lakes.
As Samuel Mather, she was the second of seven U. S. merchant ships to bear that name. The eponymously-named Mather, a/k/a Clifton, was built at the personal expense of Samuel Mather, a cofounder of Pickands Mather and Company. For the better part of the twentieth century's first two decades, the company operated the second largest shipping fleet on the Great Lakes. After sailing for 31 years, she was deemed superannuated; the ship would no longer transport iron ore, instead was retrofitted as a carrier of stone aggregate. This 1923–1924 refit included the installation of topside self-unloading gear, which affected her center of gravity and righting moment; as wreck discoverer David Trotter stated: "We found that the self-unloading mechanism was still in position, and, an interesting discovery because we now realize that the unloading mechanism didn’t break free, causing the Clifton to have instability, resulting in her sinking." The self-unloading machinery "was added the same year she disappeared," responded maritime expert Valerie Van Heest.
She said. She said, "All of it was additional weight above the center line of the vessel", that it was not coincidental that three other ships outfitted with an identical self-unloading system all sank. Four of the refitted ships were lost in quick progression. At the time of her loss, Clifton was owned by the Progress Steamship Co. of Cleveland, a subsidiary of Cleveland-Cliffs, Inc. In Clifton's last position report as of 10:20 a.m. on September 21, 1924, it was entering Lake Huron near Mackinaw City 100 miles from where it foundered. As the gravel boat tried to make its way down Lake Huron toward its scheduled destination in Detroit on the night of September 21–22, a "great storm swept Huron". In the opinion of an experienced skipper who had worked his way through the gale, no vessel of Clifton's size could have survived in those conditions if she was 40 miles out to sea. Wreckage was scattered. Painted sticks of wreckage from the Clifton were recovered by Peter White on September 26, 1924, 24 miles northeast of Pointe aux Barques Light, a life raft was found on October 1, 1924.
On the Detour, Michigan–Goderich, Ontario course, about 70 miles away from the latter, hatch covers, the forward end of a pilot house were recovered by the S. S. Glencairn; the clock had stopped at 4:00, hypothesized to have been 4:00 a.m. on September 22, when storm waters on Lake Huron were at their height. A cabin door was found in the vicinity of Thunder Bay. United States Army Air Service airplanes were dispatched from Mount Clemens, Michigan, to conduct a search in Saginaw Bay in the vicinity of Tawas City, Michigan. Debris started washing up on the Canadian shore. No bodies were recovered. No mechanical malfunction has yet been discovered or any other definite cause of her sinking. Speculation at the time, which continued to be published decades after the tragedy, was that the newly-installed self-unloading gear could have broken free and contributed to the vessel's metacentric instability. However, after the discovery of the wreck it is now theorized that the vessel was overwhelmed by a wave or waves that drove it under power to the bottom.
The obliteration of the first 40 feet of the bow is testament to the blunt force. "The bow of the Clifton sustained heavy damage", said Trotter, after
Antonio Margheriti known under the pseudonyms Anthony M. Dawson and Antony Daisies, was an Italian filmmaker. Margheriti worked in many different genres in the Italian film industry, was known for his sometimes derivative but stylish and entertaining science fiction and sandal, horror/giallo, spaghetti western, Vietnam War and action movies that were released to a wide international audience, he died in 2002. Antonio Margheriti was born in Rome on 19 September 1930. Margheriti was the son of a railroad engineer and began his film career in 1950 working with Mario Serandrei, he began making short documentaries beginning with Vecchia Roma in 1953. In 1954, Margheriti was credited with special effects in films such as Pino Mercanti's I cinque dell'Adamello and La notte che la terra tremo. By 1955 he was credited in screenplays such as Classe di ferro. Margheriti grew up reading science fiction comics, when he was offered to direct the film Space-Men, he signed on to the project, he followed up this film with Battle of the Worlds starring actor Claude Rains, in turn followed by The Golden Arrow with Tab Hunter and some more peplum-style films such as The Fall of Rome and Giants of Rome.
Other genres tackled in the 1960s included horror in films such as Castle of Blood, The Long Hair of Death and The Virgin of Nuremberg, the Eurospy film with Sfida ai Killers and Operazione Goldman. After these, Margheriti returned to science fiction with his Gamma I series, which were filmed for the Italian television series Fantascienza but were afterwards released theatrically. Margheriti followed these films with some westerns, including Take a Hard Ride and And God Said to Cain.t In the 1980s, Margheriti created films following the success of Raiders of the Lost Ark, including The Last Hunter and Hunters of the Golden Cobra, which both starred David Warbeck. Warbeck starred in Tiger Joe, a film whose production became overshadowed by tragedy as Margheriti's long time cinematographer Riccardo Pallottini died when his plane crashed while he was attempting to get the film's last shot. Margheriti delved into the genre of films inspired by the Vietnam War but directed Yor, the Hunter from the Future, shot in Turkey and was picked up by Columbia Pictures for an American release to 1400 theaters.
Margheriti died on 4 November 2002. Margheriti's specialty in films was low budget efforts that fell into genres such as action and science fiction. To make films in short amounts of time, Margheriti applied techniques such as shooting with several cameras allowing him to record master shots, close-ups, more; this led him to light films carefully, allowed him to create several films per year. Note: The films listed as N/A are not chronological. In the documentary on the Image DVD release of his film Cannibal Apocalypse, Margheriti proudly mentioned that it was Quentin Tarantino's favorite among his films. In his own film Inglourious Basterds, in turn, Tarantino let Eli Roth's character Donnie Donowitz use "Antonio Margheriti" as an alias in an undercover operation at the cinema screening of Stolz der Nation. There is a much more explicit reference in Tarantino's most recent film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. In said film, Leonardo DiCaprio portrays fictional B-list actor named Rick Dalton, who goes to Italy to film Spaghetti Westerns, including one directed by Margheriti.
