Minnesota Online Index finds A.F. Wilpolt listed in the database of The Great White Fleet;
Description: Great White Fleet- When the Atlantic Fleet sailed from Hampton Roads, VA on 16 December 1907, it was a worldwide goodwill mission by President Theodore Roosevelt. The fleet consisted of sixteen new battleships painted white, with gilded scrollwork on their bows, six destroyers, and several auxiliary ships. This was likely the last large fleet to sail around the Horn before the completion of the Panama Canal in 1914.This database lists the names of the men who were on those ships as they sailed in review past President Roosevelt on that December day in 1907. Each record lists the last name, initials, and ship name, thus providing a link to many of the men who served the U. S. Navy in peacetime. Honoring requests from family members who wished to serve on the same ships has long been a tradition in the Navy. It is likely that included in the crews were many brothers, fathers, sons, uncles, and nephews.

On 16 December 1907 the USS Ohio passed from Hampton Roads, Virginia, in review before President Theodore Roosevelt attached to the 3rd Division under the command of Captain Charles W. Bartlett. Ohio was one of 16 Battleships participating in an unprecidented world cruise, today commonly referred to as the "Great White Fleet" because the ships were painted in peacetime "white" and "spar."Commanded by Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, and later, Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry, the feet made calls on the east and west coasts of South America, rounding the Horn in between, en route to San Francisco.By the time of the fleets departure from San Francisco for Puget Sound, command of Ohio had been transferred to Captain Thomas B. Howard.On 7 July 1908, Ohio and her sisters shaped their course west to Hawaii, New Zealand, and Australia. On each visit, the American ships were welcomed with great enthusiasm, but none of their ports of call received them with such enthusiastic friendliness as Tokyo where they anchored 18 October. The fleet's presence in Japan symbolized both American friendship and strength and helped to ease dangerously strained relations between the two countries.The fleet put in at Amoy, returned to Yokohama held target practice in the Philippines, and was homeward-bound 1 December. After steaming through the Suez Canal 4 January 1909, the fleet made Mediterranean calls, before anchoring in Hampton Roads 22 February.


The following crew list of the USS Ohio was compiled by the United Stats Navy Department, Bureau of Navigation and published in 1908. It contains the names of all sailors serving aboard Ohio on her journey from Hampton Roads to California:For more on the Ohio, see webpage www.greatwhitefleet.org
