Astronomer


     History knows Hamilton Lanphere Smith for many significant contributions in America. It knows of Hamilton as the “Father of modern day photography” with his patent on the Tintype process. It knows of Hamilton’s work on the “Diatom Microscopy Classification System”. It also knows of Hamilton as an Astronomer, publishing his book “The World”.

     But History does not know the “Knight’s Templar” side of Hamilton. We have discovered documents thought to have been lost, which goes into a world of mystery and intrigue. The origins of the “Skull and Crossbones” secret society, along with the “Use of Celestial Time”, are just a few of the secrets found within these documents.

     Once our website is fully developed, we will be loading pages of Hamilton's documents in need of deciphering.  Help us decipher the lost Hamilton documents.  With your help, we can learn more of what Sir Hamilton Lanphere Smith discovered and make history more complete!
