This was an especially colorful, active period of momentous tech- nological and sociological change in American maritime affairs, and San Francisco Bay reflected the period well. For the economic historian, the reminiscences illustrate the changes in San Francisco Bay that took place in response to worldwide maritime conditions and to changes in California; for the maritime buff, they are full of the bustle, color and variegated characters of a lively shipping port serving deep-water, coastwise, and river and bay traffic. Thanks are extended to the Crowley Launch and Tug Company for permission to research in their extensive scrapbook collection and for the help and advice given by members of the firm over the years that the series has been in progress. Our gratitude also to the staff of the San Francisco Maritime Museum for the use of their historical documentation and for their help in checking out names, dates, and facts. The Regional Oral History Office was established to tape record auto- biographical interviews with persons prominent in the history of California and the West.

INTRODUCTION In1963 Mrs. Willa Baum from the Regional Oral History Office telephoned to inquire if my father Thomas Crowley would be interested in giving an interview to be taped. After consulting with my brother and sister I approached my father with the idea and to my delight he reacted with enthu- siasm. This request came at a perfect time in his life as he had the desire to reminisce at leisure. Oral history interviews benefit the questioner and the subject as well, often the two become sympathetic friends. Our family was pleased to have an invaluable record of a life we knew to be colorful and unique in its successes. Ten years after the first interview the oral history office persuaded my brother Thomas B. Crowley to record his memories on tape. Though he was busy, he subsequently recorded an extensive recollection. My purpose here is to introduce in a small way each of these personali- ties as I knew and loved them. Thomas Crowley, my father, died at age ninety-three, and Thomas B. Crowley, my brother, is a very vigorous and active sixty-eight-year-old today. My father was a gregarious, forceful, and charming man. He was opinionated without being pedantic, warm to human needs, stubborn with adversaries, and uniquely interesting to the opposite sex. ,His sense of humor and vibrant personality kept him in constant demand at his many clubs and on the golf course, but business was his great love. Vacations were never a means to relax for him, but travel to a foreign country was appealing. A man with very little formal education, he was extremely well read in areas of history and literature. Some of his favorite books were Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, The Autobiography of Pulitzer, and all of Dickens and Shakespeare. He had endless intellectual curiosity and believed one should constantly try to improve oneself whether it was speech or manner. He never hesitated to criticize; with a knack for frankness he could also be very prejudiced. Newspapers were a very important means of communication for the tour boat business, so many of Dad's cronies were reporters on the Call Bulletin and Chronicle. Among the names I remember were Coblentz, Gleason, Annie Laurie. On his frequent trips to New York he often stayed at the Lambs Club, an all-male sanctuary for writers. A woman writer was a rarity and he grew to know Mrs. William Brown Mahony, publisher of the Washington Post, and admired her tremendously. With his gregarious ways he also enjoyed politick- ing in Washington, D.C. One of the mainstays of the crowley' Launch & Tugboat Co. was Dad's secretary Miss Marie Carey. She was an imposing woman who seemed six feet tall (she was about 5'6") and she ran the payroll with an iron hand, giving the men free advice as she doled it out. In the days when red nail polish was only worn by women of a shady type, Miss Carey shocked everyme by wearing brilliant red polish completely out of character with her severe manner. Tom, my brother, has always been studious and knowledgeable, though a somewhat shy person. Fascinated by physics and astronomy, he would have made an excellent research scientist. My father was careful to nurture Tom's interests but emphasized the business was to be his sole career. Tom's interest in mathematics prepared him well for the computer age and the very latest of high tech equipment has been used at Crowley Maritime Corporation under Tom's management. Industrious, efficient, disciplined, brilliant-- all those adjectives would apply to him, giving his father cause to be very proud of the results.

    National Park Service Law Enforcement Programs Study United States Park Rangers Report to Congress pursuant to P.L. 105-391 National Parks Omnibus Management Act, 1998 Vision Statement National parks were established as bastions to preserve representative examples of America’s most significant natural and cultural treasures. Sanctuaries that not only rekindle the human spirit through recreation and reflective introspection, but also as the contemporary, living link with our cultural history. They are the open books in the undisturbed library of our geological and paleontological history. They protect and allow interpretation of the archaeological clues that help us understand our prehistoric heritage. Parks are ecological safe havens, providing the guarantee of species diversity and genetic viability. These places of refuge are essential to perpetuating America’s flora and fauna for their own right, for our enjoyment, for scientific study and as wellsprings of continuous repopulation for surrounding areas beyond park boundaries. This report responds to the evident and sincere interest Americans have in their system of national parks. Its purpose is to communicate the law enforcement needs of the workforce charged with preserving these special places––to clearly communicate with Congress, ideas toward stronger protection of National Park System resources and the lives and personal property of visitors who will enjoy national park areas in perpetuity. i Introduction Purpose This report provides communication between the Department of the

    Revitalizing Contra Costa’s Northern Waterfront How to be Competitive in the 21st Century Global Economy January 2014 “It’s long been a vision of mine to revitalize Contra Costa County’s Northern Waterfront. As a young man, working first at USS-POSCO and then at Dow Chemical, I gained a deep appreciation and understanding of how important Pittburg’s working waterfront is to the community. Likewise, I see the revitalization of the County’s Northern Waterfront as vital to anyone concerned with economic development in Contra Costa County.” “I want to bring together all the stakeholders on the County’s Northern Waterfront, from Hercules to Oakley. That includes private industries, the waterfront cities, public agencies, and community groups. I believe if we act as a regional group, we can wield more influence than if each of us tried to act alone. The Northern Waterfront is one of the County’s greatest economic assets, but underutilized. I want to change that.” –Supervisor Federal Glover, District V Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors April 2013 Revitalizing Contra Costa’s Northern Waterfront How to be Competitive in the 21st Century Global Economy Project Commissioned by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors under the direction of the Contra Costa County Conservation and Development Department ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Consultant Team Ad hoc Committee on the Northern Gary Craft, Craft Consulting Group Waterfront Economic Development Initiative Kevin Stichter, Craft Consulting Group Supervisor Federal

    Conversion and Empire: Byzantine Missionaries, Foreign Rulers, and Christian Narratives (ca. 300-900) by Alexander Borislavov Angelov A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor John V.A. Fine, Jr., Chair Professor Emeritus H. Don Cameron Professor Paul Christopher Johnson Professor Raymond H. Van Dam Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes © Alexander Borislavov Angelov 2011 To my mother Irina with all my love and gratitude ii Acknowledgements To put in words deepest feelings of gratitude to so many people and for so many things is to reflect on various encounters and influences. In a sense, it is to sketch out a singular narrative but of many personal “conversions.” So now, being here, I am looking back, and it all seems so clear and obvious. But, it is the historian in me that realizes best the numerous situations, emotions, and dilemmas that brought me where I am. I feel so profoundly thankful for a journey that even I, obsessed with planning, could not have fully anticipated. In a final analysis, as my dissertation grew so did I, but neither could have become better without the presence of the people or the institutions that I feel so fortunate to be able to acknowledge here. At the University of Michigan, I first thank my mentor John Fine for his tremendous academic support over the years, for his friendship always present when most needed, and for best illustrating to me how true knowledge does in fact produce better humanity.

Hitachi Zosen has developed the EPOCH MARK n series which has a unique structure not found on conventional ship designs. Revolutionary in concept, the MARKII incorporates a unidirectional girder system combined with a complete double hull structure. While a ship's hull is customarily designed with a grillage of longitudinal and transverse members for strength, this system uses only longitudinal members in a double hull to provide sufficient strength. This unidirectional girder system results in unprecedented structural simplicity and completely flush surfaced cargo tank interior. MARKII product oil carriers provide unrivaled advantages in performances over more conventional designs. The EPOCH MARK n series is available in 40, 60 and 80 thousands dwt designs. And has won the approval of leading classification societies (ABS, BV, LR, NK, NV). At present The Superior Performance of the EPOCH MARK n Series: many worldwide patents are under application.

The anchorage is excellent, vessels of the largest size being able to tie so near shore as to land goods without lightering. The back country, including the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, is one of the finest agriculture districts in California. Notwithstanding these advantages, Benicia must always remain inferior in commercial advantages, both to San Francisco and Sacramento City.”1 So wrote Bayard Taylor in 1850, less than three years after Benicia’s founding, and another three years before the city would—at least briefly—serve as the capital of California. In the century that followed, Taylor’s assessment was echoed by many authors—that although Benicia had all the ingredients for a great metropolis, it was destined to remain in the shadow of others. Yet these assessments only tell a half truth. While Benicia never became the great commercial center envisioned by its founders, its role in Northern California history is nevertheless one that far outstrips the scale of its geography or the number of its citizens. Benicia gave rise to the first large industrial works in California, hosted the largest train ferries ever constructed, and housed the West Coast’s primary ordnance facility for over 100 years.
