Written in 1938 by Chief of the Chaplains William Nathaniel Thomas, the “Prayer of a Midshipman” has been used at Divine Services at the Naval Academy for more than six decades. This is your chance to have your own copy, etched in the very copper that used to cover the U.S. Naval Academy Chapel Dome. The 6”x 9” plaque is a copper-encased wooden panel with felt backing and metal hardware which makes it suitable for hanging.
