<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>In Philadelphia the Franklin Institute had for several years an exhibit on
<BR>"Shipbuilding in Philadelphia". One of the displays was about the Hog
<BR>Island Shipyard and included the information that the "hoagie" was invented
<BR>and named for Hog Island. Unfortunately the exhibit has been removed
<BR>sometime in the last year or so so I can't quote the exact text. Someone
<BR>might want to contact the Franklin Institute for the evidence behind this
<BR>claim.
<BR>
<BR>Also, somebody said
<BR>> >(Isn't a grinder a sandwich?...No submarine sandwiches in New
<BR>London/Groton
<BR>> >at all!--ed.)
<BR>
<BR>This statement implies the theory that a "submarine sandwich" was so called
<BR>because it was consumed by sailors on submarines. I was under the impression
<BR>the name originated because of the shape of the sandwich (I have heard the
<BR>bread used called a "torpedo roll"), in which case submariners and their
<BR>relatives in New London might not feel possessive about the name.
