FOLKMAN ^(I^SO^n^T^OFWlRELESSPK)NEERS is a non-profit organization dedicated to banding together the professional wireless and radio men who once earned their living at the radio-telegraph key. The Society is entirely patriotic, non-secretarian and has no commercial interests of any kind. Books and releases are for the use of members only. There is no objection to the reprinting of articles in this publication providing credit is given to the Society of Wireless Pioneers for same. Official address of the Society is P.0. Box 530, Santa Rosa, Calif. 95402. Editor and Exeutive Director is William A. Breniman. Historical records, memorabilia and antique wireless equipment are desired by the Society with the expectation that a museum of same will eventually be opened for public use, in conjunction with a library containing all publications that have been printed on this or related fields of the art. Since statement for sustaining dues (1972) have alread been printed and will be included in the mailing of this newsletter, we will be unable to include such suggestion with same. We invite any member, who can afford, to include a bit extra for this purpose. We feel sure that the equipment needed will materially improve the utilization of donated time and reflect greater benefits for all members, even if not immedia­ tely tangible. INTERNATIONAL ASPECT In connection with the growth of your Society, we are becoming increasingly aware of the number of those s4*tcte*tt "TKaxttten. from foreign countries that seek membership in our professional organization. It is fast becoming an "INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION" of 'Professional' Brass- pounders. We would like to encourage the trend as we Thanks to the dedicated efforts of many members and to feel that while we all have roots that are deep in the officers who contribute liberally of their time and loyalty of our own countries, never-the-less, the effort - your organization continues to grow at an "BROTHERHOOD OF THE PROFESSIONAL KNIGHTS OF THE KEY" amazingly fast pace, as will be noted on the 'Growth- is one that should be encouraged all over the world.We Chart' on the inside front cover. We have every rea­ hope, in time to become a truly 'International' Soc­ son to believe that our membership will pass the ONE iety of the ...professionals. (see Page - 4) THOUSAND mark before this copy is distributed, thus making the Society the largest organization of its kind in the world. We are pleased that during the year which just closed, THIS IS A RECORDING-- THE SHIP (1971), that the Society has fullfilled in large measure YOU WERE CALLING IS TEMPORARILY one of our primary objectives, ie: "Bringing people together". Many 'reunions' or get-to-gethers have OFF THE AIR— THE OPERATORS ARE been held throughout the year and a head-count indicate: BUSY READING THE LATEST COPY OF that at least a thousand have attended these meetings. The opportunity to meet with old friends and shipmates "PORTS O' CALL" is one of those increasingly rare opportunities to re­ new friendships and to reminisce. Its a heart-warming experience to see the warm glow of comradship manifest so often at these reunions. Since all dues and funds received to date have been used exclusively for publishing or Society activities, and with no money what-so-ever going out for salaries or field trips of officers, we have been able to keep the yearly dues at a minimum and within reach of many of our members who are retirees on small (or no) pen­ sions or income. We hope to keep it that way! Thanks to a number of generous members, contributions have been received to help fund cost of printing and opera­ tions so that some members who are having a hard time financially...will still receive the Society's publi­ cations. We have never yet cut off any member, where "hard-ship" case is known, as it is one of the very reasons for the Society's existance. During 1972, we are hopeful that urgently needed office equipment can be purchased. This includes files for our growing archives and administrative needs. A good addressing system to cut down on endless time required for addressing mail and publications, typewriter, desk and a few other necessities to utilize time of those willing to donate time and effort to make better use of same. One of our officers suggested that we ask each member to contribute a dollar each, as a 'one-shot' deal. This seems like a good idea as much of the office equipment now used is property of the Executive V.P. and regretfully, it is wearing out. tc/* THE WIRELESS PIONEER Since the Society's Constitution and By Laws do not provide or authorize expenditures for such purposes, the only way we could accept was through individuals volunteering for the assignment and picking up the tab themselves as a personal donation to the organization.

  • SEAFARING WOMEN: an Investigation of Material Culture for Potential Archaeological Diagnostics of Women on Nineteenth-Century Sailing Ships
    SEAFARING WOMEN: An Investigation of Material Culture for Potential Archaeological Diagnostics of Women on Nineteenth-Century Sailing Ships by R. Laurel Seaborn April, 2014 Director of Thesis/Dissertation: Dr. Lynn Harris Major Department: Department of History, Program in Maritime Studies ABSTRACT During the 19th century, women went to sea on sailing ships. Wives and family accompanied captains on their voyages from New England. They wrote journals and letters that detailed their life on board, adventures in foreign ports, and feelings of separation from family left behind. Although the women kept separate from the sailors as class and social status dictated, they contributed as nannies, nurses and navigators when required. Examination of the historical documents, ship cabin plans, and photos of those interiors, as well as looking at surviving ships, such as the whaleship Charles W. Morgan, provided evidence of the objects women brought and used on board. The investigation from a gendered perspective of the extant material culture, and shipwreck site reports laid the groundwork for finding potential archaeological diagnostics of women living on board.

  • The Value of Maritime Archaeological Heritage
    THE VALUE OF MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF THE CULTURAL CAPITAL OF SHIPWRECKS IN THE GRAVEYARD OF THE ATLANTIC by Calvin H. Mires April 2014 Director of Dissertation: Dr. Nathan Richards Ph.D. Program in Coastal Resources Management Off the coast of North Carolina’s Outer Banks are the remains of ships spanning hundreds of years of history, architecture, technology, industry, and maritime culture. Potentially more than 2,000 ships have been lost in “The Graveyard of the Atlantic” due to a combination of natural and human factors. These shipwrecks are tangible artifacts to the past and constitute important archaeological resources. They also serve as dramatic links to North Carolina’s historic maritime heritage, helping to establish a sense of identity and place within American history. While those who work, live, or visit the Outer Banks and look out on the Graveyard of the Atlantic today have inherited a maritime heritage as rich and as historic as any in the United States, there is uncertainty regarding how they perceive and value the preservation of maritime heritage resources along the Outer Banks, specifically shipwrecks in the Graveyard of the Atlantic. This dissertation is an exploratory study that combines qualitative and quantitative methodologies from the fields of archaeology, economics, and sociology, by engaging different populations in a series of interviews and surveys. These activities are designed to understand and evaluate the public’s current perceptions and attitudes towards maritime archaeological heritage, to estimate its willingness to pay for preservation of shipwrecks in the Graveyard of the Atlantic, and to provide baseline data for informing future preservation, public outreach, and education efforts.

National Geographic Magazine October 1999 http://www.i-52.com/; http://nauticos.com/ocean-discovery/i-52-htm/ Case Studies: 1998 - I-52, 1944 I-52 Many of the records from World War II are kept in the National Archives in Washington D.C. There historian Paul Tidwell found the actual log of the aircraft carrier Bogue which describes the action of events surrounding the I-52 on June 23rd and 24th, 1944. http://nauticos.com/ocean-discovery/i-52-htm/ Case Studies: 1998 - I-52, 1944 Tydwell also found Commander Taylor’s report of how he located and sank the I- 52, logs from other ships in the task force, and even the war diary of the U-530. The pages contained the secret of the location of the wreck of the World War II Japanese submarine I-52. Paul Tidwell had been looking for the I-52 and other historical shipwrecks for many years. Uno Kameo http://nauticos.com/ocean-discovery/i-52-htm/ Case Studies: 1998 - I-52, 1944 In 1995 Tidwell sponsored an expedition to search for the sub, and hired Ted Brockett of Sound Ocean Systems, Inc. to manage the project. Ted in turn, relied on Nauticos Corporation, at the time called Meridian Sciences, to fill key roles, with Tom Dettweiler serving as Operations Director and David Wyatt responsible for the operation of the ORION side scan sonar image processing system.
