Scott photograph collection P79-072a San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, National Park Service 2013, National Park Service Title: John T. Scott photograph collection Date: 1856-1923 Date (bulk): 1890-1905 Identifier/Call Number: P79-072a (SAFR 23362) Creator: Scott, John T. Physical Description: 795 items. Repository: San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, Historic Documents Department Building E, Fort Mason San Francisco, CA 94123 Abstract: The John T. Scott photograph collection, 1856-1923, bulk 1890-1905 (SAFR 23362, P79-072a) is comprised of a photograph album and loose photographic prints primarily relating to the Union Iron Works of San Francisco, California. The photographs show various vessels and pieces of machinery built by the company. The collection has been processed to the File Unit level, with some Items listed, and is open for use. Physical Location: San Francisco Maritime NHP, Historic Documents Department Language(s): In English. Access This collection is open for use unless otherwise noted. Publication and Use Rights Some material may be copyrighted or restricted. It is the researcher's obligation to determine and satisfy copyright or other case restrictions when publishing or otherwise distributing materials found in the collections. Processing Note Each photographic image has been assigned an Item number; when there are multiple physical forms of each image (e.g. a print and a copy negative) this has been noted in the physical description field. In 1983, the National Maritime Museum hired a conservator to treat 187 photographs on the following album pages: flyleaf, 1-30, 93-94, 139-142, 149-152, 159-162, 181-182, and 187-188. The 187 treated photographs were removed, individually mounted, placed in polyester sleeves, and housed in archival envelopes. The original album pages from which the 187 photographs were removed are housed separately from the original album. The collection file contains the conservator's handwritten notes providing details about the condition of each photograph she treated as well as a list of specific treatments she used on each individual photograph. The collection file also includes 120 color slides photographed by the conservator showing the album pages before and after treatment. "Scr 50" was erroneously handwritten by previous staff members on nearly all the mounts of the treated photographs. In 2013, the mounts were changed to the correct number, scr 51. In addition, SFMNHP Classified photograph collection Item numbers were assigned to approximately 75% of the prints and written on the mounts; however, these numbers should be ignored due to the fact that they have not been cataloged in the Classified collection database. One of the prints removed by the conservator, Item 036 (formerly scr51: 7b), could not be located at the time of processing in February 2013. The print has been noted as missing at the Item level (Series 1.1, File Unit 12, Item 036). The conservator's slides located in the collection file show the print prior to its removal from the album page. It is a cyanotype, smaller than 8 x 10 in., showing the boilers for OLYMPIA (built 1892; cruiser: U.S. Navy) being lifted aboard the vessel in 1893. Several photographs in the album have "Photo # NH" and a number written next to them. For example, "Photo # NH 75254." This likely refers to the U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph number. SAFR staff made copy negatives of seventeen of the album's photographic prints between 1994-2001. These copies have been identified at the Item level. In addition, 14 copy negatives were made from the album's prints and cataloged as part A guide to the John T. Scott P79-072a (SAFR 23362) 2 photograph collection, 1856-1923 of SFMNHP's Classified photograph collection, roughly ranging from 41357-41393 and 41426-41513. These prints have been cataloged at the Item level and the corresponding Classified number for the copy negative has been noted in the related collections field. The Classified copy negatives have not been included in the total item count for P79-072a. The album's original use was intended as a ledger regarding shipments of parts to UIW. This use was abandoned and the ledger was turned into a photograph album. Pages 1-4 and 6-10 have handwriting on them which was revealed when the conservator removed the photographs. Notes on condition: The album binding is in poor condition. Many of the sewn signatures have broken, and some folios have torn along the center fold, creating separated leaves. Some pages have multiple overlapping photographs attached in such a way that one edge of a photo must be lifted to view a photo underneath. In some cases, the photos have been damaged from folding. Care should be taken when lifting a photograph to view those below. Also take care to ensure that the photographs are lying flat before another album page is turned on top of it. Also note that the leather portions of the album covers have red rot. The collection file also contains photocopies of four cards with information about oil burner parts and their selling price, circa 1920-1925. The originals were evidently given to the J. Porter Shaw Library, but they could not be located in February 2013. In March 2013, it was discovered that an item in the field collection SAFR-00454 actually belonged in this collection. This item ("(1) 8" x 10" cyanotype - Union Iron Works May 1897") has been returned to P79-072a (SAFR 23362) and assigned Item number 764. See the collection file for more information. The descriptions in this collection guide were compiled using the best available sources of information. Such sources include the creator's annotations or descriptions, collection accession files, primary and secondary source material and subject matter experts. While every effort was made to provide accurate information, in the event that you find any errors in this guide please contact the reference staff in order for us to evaulate and make corrections to this guide.

Scott photograph collection, San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Acquisition Information SAFR-00001 GOGA-00789 John T. Scott donated the photograph album to the San Francisco Maritime Museum on April 2, 1952, and it was assigned the collection number scr 51 (see SFMM Accession Ledger 101/3). On June 26, 1952, John T. Scott donated more materials to the SFMM, and it appears that some of the loose photographic prints from this donation were added to this collection (see collection file for more information). The album and loose prints were formally accessioned by the National Maritime Museum, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, on April 27, 1979 and given the collection number P79-072a. SAFR-00001 is a blanket accession that was transferred from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) to the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park in September 1988. GGNRA had previously acquired the collection from the San Francisco Maritime Museum when it became a unit of the National Park Service in 1977. GOGA-00789 was transferred from the J. Porter Shaw Library to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) in February 1985. Historical or Biographical Note John T. Scott (1865-1960) was a marine engineer. He was superintendent of Union Iron Works from 1895-1905 and co-owner of Moore & Scott Iron Works from 1905-1916. He also founded the Pacific Coast Shipbuilding Company in 1917 with his uncle Henry T. Scott (1846-1927). John Thomas Scott was born in 1864 or 1865 in Maryland to Mary Hopkins Scott and George S. Scott. He had older brothers named Wakeman H. Scott (born 1861) and Irving Murray Scott Jr. (1862-1952), and younger siblings named Margaret H. Scott (born 1867), George Worthington Scott (1869 July-1941 January 31), and Henry T. Scott (1877 January 13-1949 July 15). John T. Scott's uncles were Irving Murray Scott (1937-1903) and Henry Tiffany Scott (1846-1927), the owners of the Union Iron Works in San Francisco's Potrero district during the 1860s-1890s. John was a marine engineer by profession, and followed his uncles into the family business, becoming a superintendent of the Union Iron Works in 1895. John T. Scott's brother Irving M. Scott, Jr. was also in the family business, and worked as a draftsman and engineer at Union Iron Works, Moore & Scott Iron Works, and Pacific Coast Shipbuilding Company. A guide to the John T. Scott P79-072a (SAFR 23362) 3 photograph collection, 1856-1923 John T. Scott managed operations at Union Iron Works until he left in 1905 to begin his own business, in partnership with Robert S. Moore and Joseph A. Moore. The Moore & Scott Iron Works started operation in 1905 in Hunter's Point neighborhood of San Francisco. In 1909, they moved to the site of W.A. Boole's old yard on the shore of Oakland Creek (Knave). Moore & Scott was a very successful operation, which continued to thrive under the name of Moore Shipbuilding Company after Scott sold his interests in 1917.

  • Marine Nuclear Power 1939 – 2018 Part 1 Introduction
    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018 Part 1: Introduction Peter Lobner July 2018 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955. That presentation to the Lyncean Group, “60 years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 – 2015,” was my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the US Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with USS Nautilus’ historic first voyage, and then tracing the development and exploitation of marine nuclear power over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. In July 2018, I finished a complete update of the resource document and changed the title to, “Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018.” What you have here is Part 1: Introduction. The other parts are: Part 2A: United States - Submarines Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships Part 3A: Russia - Submarines Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications Part 4: Europe & Canada Part 5: China, India, Japan and Other Nations Part 6: Arctic Operations 2 Foreword This resource document was compiled from unclassified, open sources in the public domain. I acknowledge the great amount of work done by others who have published material in print or posted information on the internet pertaining to international marine nuclear propulsion programs, naval and civilian nuclear powered vessels, naval weapons systems, and other marine nuclear applications.

  • Navy Columbia (SSBN-826) Class Ballistic Missile Submarine Program: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy Columbia (SSBN-826) Class Ballistic Missile Submarine Program: Background and Issues for Congress Updated February 26, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R41129 Navy Columbia (SSBN-826) Class Ballistic Missile Submarine Program Summary The Columbia (SSBN-826) class program is a program to design and build a class of 12 new ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) to replace the Navy’s current force of 14 aging Ohio-class SSBNs. The Navy has identified the Columbia-class program as the Navy’s top priority program. The Navy wants to procure the first Columbia-class boat in FY2021. Research and development work on the program has been underway for several years, and advance procurement (AP) funding for the first boat began in FY2017. The Navy’s proposed FY2021 budget requests $2,891.5 million in procurement funding, $1,123.2 million in advance procurement (AP) funding, and $397.3 million in research and development funding for the program. The Navy’s FY2021 budget submission estimates the total procurement cost of the 12-ship class at $109.8 billion in then-year dollars. A May 2019 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report assessing selected major DOD weapon acquisition programs stated that the estimated total acquisition (development plus procurement) cost of the Columbia-class program as of June 2018 was $103,035.2 million (about $103.0 billion) in constant FY2019 dollars, including $13,103.0 million (about $13.1 billion) in research and development costs and $89,932.2 million (about $89.9 billion)

    Asians and Pacific Islanders in the Civil War March 2015 Note: This is a working document. The names noted in bold designate soldiers and sailors whose service has been confirmed and corroborated by various sources. The names not listed in bold are strong leads that require continued investigation to definitively confirm their service and ethnicity.

  • Stories from Bosque Bello the Lives They Led… James Henry Hamilton
    Stories from Bosque Bello The lives they led… James Henry Hamilton The hospital ship, USS Solace , served in two wars. In the 1898 Spanish-American War, the ship returned wounded and sick soldiers from Cuba to the U.S. Following the April 6, 1917 U.S. declaration of war on Germany, the hospital ship served again, primarily at ports along the eastern seaboard from Rhode Island to Florida. It was also the ship where young James Henry Hamilton, Mess Attendant, 3 rd Class, United States Naval Reserve, died along with two other sailors on October 4, 1918. The U.S. military experience in World War 1 and the influenza pandemic are closely intertwined. Because of extremely crowded conditions at military facilities and on ships in both the U.S. and on the European battlefields during the height of the American military involvement in the war, the disease spread quickly. In the latter part of 1918 and into 1919, about a fifth of the world's population became infected by the influenza pandemic. It killed an estimated 50 million people. Approximately 675,000 Americans died of influenza during the pandemic. In fact, it killed more people than those that died in actual combat during World War I. About 40% of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard came down with the flu, while around 36% of the Army became sick. Hamilton was a Fernandina resident, son of Charles and Laura, who grew up on Division Street and later lived there with his wife, Pearl. In what would be a life changing decision for Hamilton, on June 1, 1918, at the age of 17, he walked to the Fernandina Navy Recruiting Station and enlisted.
