Castanera, Frank B., (Castenera, Frank B.)
Among her other claims to prominence, Biloxi boasts as the place of residence of one of America's most famous ship masters -- a man who has been lauded throughout the land and who has performed two feats on the high seas which for skill, course and seamanship are unparalleled in American maritime history.
Biloxi's famous native son is none other than Capt. Frank Castenera, former member of the local city council and one time member of the Ship Island Bar Pilot's Association. The first of Capt. Castenera's notable achievements which gained such prominence was the saving of the life of a member of his crew stricken at sea with double pneumonia, and the other was the salvaging and the towing into port of the Norwegian Steamer "JOHANNE DYBWAD" after its abandonment by its captain and crew.
The circumstances under which these deeds were performed made them all the more difficult and added greater glory to Capt. Castenera and his crew.
It has often been said that with the passing of the whitewinged wind-jammer and the advent of the steam-driven vessel, which does not depend upon the favor of the winds, and which is run more or less on the businesslike plan of any large power plant ashore, the day of romance on the high seas had passed.
But there still are circumstances arising in connection with the safety of the lives of the men who sail the seas, the recounting of which quickens the pulse and affords the thrill that always is present when the stake is a human life.
CREW MEMBER HAS DOUBLE PNEUMONIA
The saving of the life of a member of his crew by Capt. Castenera in August, 1922, is such a tale as this.
The American Steamship "WEST NORRANUS", of which Captain Castenera was master at that time, sailed from New Orleans in August, 1922, with a general cargo for Rotterdam and Bremen, and after putting in at Norfolk, Va., for fuel oil, started on its way across the Atlantic.
When some distance off Cape Hatteras on August 9th a member of his crew was taken violently ill. The extent to which steamship companies and the Government will go to save the life of the humblest seaman could only be properly presented by reproducing the complete file of radio messages.
But it must suffice here to say that Capt. Castenera immediately communicated by radio the U.S. Marine Hospital at New York, describing the patient's symptoms and requesting advice. After that messages were exchanged almost hourly, the patient's condition being reported then the hospital prescribing treatments.
On Aug. 14th the "PRESIDENT MONROE" also wirelessed medical advice. Meanwhile the sick seaman tossed on his cot, physicians hundreds of miles away attempted to diagnose his case and prescribe treatment, and Capt. Castenera and his faithful radio operator (kept) a sleepless vigil night after night and labored with his limited supply of drugs to alleviate the sufferings of his fellow man.
As daytime passed and the sick man grew worse, Capt. Castenera requested the Shipping Board to direct some nearby vessel to take the patient. By listening in, the "PRESIDENT GARFIELD" was found to be in close range and with the Master of that ship did not relish changing the course of his 20,000 ton vessel, after giving all possible medical advice by radio, when the sick man continued to grow worse, he wirelessed that he was coming to Capt. Castenera's assistance.
PATIENT TRANSFERRED
Then ensued the ticklish task of two vessels meeting each other on the open spaces of the high seas. The position of each was given almost hourly, each made all the smoke possible and as they approached men in the crow's nest scanned the horizon with powerful glasses.
Capt. Castenera finally sighted the "PRESIDENT GARFIELD", the sick man was lowered in a life boat over the side and tranferred to his rescuer. In the hospital of the
"PRESIDENT GARFIELD" he was given expert medical treatment and recovered rapidly.
Even then Capt. Castenera did not rest until the boy's parents, his agents and the Shipping Board were informed of the rescue.
It is a strange coincidence that John W. Miller of New Orleans who is the seaman whose life Capt. Castenera saved, is now a member of the vessel of which he is now Master, the "WEST IRA".
This was the first instance where the life of a sick seaman was saved at sea by radio, though several have since been saved this way. (The Biloxi News - Sunday, April 25, 1926 p 1 w/ his picture. MJS 00468-Vol.8)

Castenade (Castenado) - Bourgeois, Miss Anatasie, and Mr. Ludwig Klatte, were married in a pretty wedding in Waveland at 2 o'clock Thursday evening at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Cyrille Bourgeois. The V. Rev. Father Leduc officiated. Mr. Albert Castenade stood as groomsman with Miss Celine Bourgeios. The groom entered on the arm of Vallery Bourgeois, the bride on the arm of her father. The bride was becomingly attired in silk, and was a picture of loveliness. Mr. Klatte is highly esteemed and held in high regard by the L.& N. officials who hold him in employ. The bride is a lovable young lady of numerous good qualities both of heart and mind. Mr. and Mrs. Klate left on the west-bound train on their bridal tour. The scribe extends the newly-wedded couple abundant success in their paths of the future. Hon. D. B. Seal was present from Bay St. Louis. Among those present were Mrs. Castenade, Mrs. Cherboney, Miss Victorine Bourgeois, Miss Aline Bourgeois, Mr. Joseph Bourgeois. (SCE 6-17-1893)
