Steve Danford, former Park photographer, retired in August 2006. All materials were located in the Photo Lab offices in the East Bleachers at the Maritime Museum Building. Historical or Biographical Note Agency History: The San Francisco Maritime Museum, operated by the San Francisco Maritime Association, opened to the public on May 28, 1951. In 1956, the San Francisco Maritime State Historic Park was established and existed under this name until 1978 when it became the National Maritime Museum, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Maritime Unit became a separate national park called the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park in 1988. A guide to the San Francisco Maritime P14-008 (SAFR 24429) 2 National Historical Park Photo Lab records, 1963-2014 Collection Scope and Content The San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Photo Lab records, 1963-2014, bulk 1988-2014, (SAFR 24429, P14-008) are comprised mainly of photographs documenting San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park daily operations and special events. The collection has been processed to the File Unit level and is open for use. Contains physical materials and digital files documenting San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park (SFMNHP) grounds, staff activities, visitors, and historic collections, 1963-2014, bulk 1988-2014. The physical materials consist primarily of black-and-white and color negatives (mostly 35mm); black-and-white and color photographic prints; color slides and transparencies; videocassettes; and documents. The digital media consist primarily of photograph files (TIFFS and JPEGS) and video files. The San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Photo Lab records primarily cover the period beginning when SFMNHP became a separate entity from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) in 1988. The items in the collection are mostly the work of the Park's photographers, Tim Campbell and Steve Danford, with contributions from other Park staff. Some material is from their predecessors, including GGNRA photographer Richard Frear. The collection documents activities by SFMNHP staff from Facilities & Ships, Interpretation, and Cultural Resources divisions, as well as by volunteers and Park partners (such as the San Francisco Maritime National Park Association, formerly known as the San Francisco Maritime Museum Association). SFMNHP locations consist of Hyde Street Pier and the Aquatic Park Historic District, which includes the Maritime Museum Building, Aquatic Park Cove, Municipal Pier, Victorian Park, and bocce ball courts. Additional sites include the Visitor Center housed in the former Haslett Warehouse building as well as the Park's headquarters and Maritime Research Center (formerly referred to as the library) located in Building E of the Fort Mason Center. The San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Photo Lab records largely consist of photographs of SFMNHP's fleet of historic vessels which is comprised of ALMA (built 1891; scow schooner), BALCLUTHA (built 1886; ship, 3m), C.A. THAYER (built 1895; schooner, 3m), EPPLETON HALL (built 1914; paddle tugboat), EUREKA (built 1890; paddle ferry), HERCULES (built 1907; tugboat), and formerly WAPAMA (built 1915; steam schooner), as well as many small craft, including GRACE QUAN (built 2003; shrimp junk), MERRY BEAR (built 1931; sloop: yacht: Bear Boat class), TELCO (built 1938; tugboat) and NUOVO MONDO (built 1987; felucca). Staff and volunteers are shown performing preventative maintenance, repairing, and rebuilding the vessels at Hyde Street Pier, including in the Small Boat Shop. The photographs also show the vessels during drydockings at San Francisco Bay Area shipyards. Annual events held at SFMNHP such as the Festival of the Sea, Sea Music Festival, and Fourth of July celebrations are documented in the collection as well as special events such as exhibit openings, small craft launchings, and the 100th anniversary celebrations of EUREKA, C.A. THAYER, and ALMA. Visitors are shown interacting with exhibits and ranger-led programs. Rangers and Park partners also lead the Age of Sail program, formerly known as the Environmental Living Program. In addition, the collection contains photographs of museum objects as well as library and archive collections. The paper documents portion of the collection includes the Park photographer's drafts and notes concerning various projects such as the development of the permanent exhibit in the Visitor Center and time code notes for videos. Video footage includes the restoration of C.A. THAYER in 2003-2007 and the construction of GRACE QUAN in 2003-2004, as wells as public events and ranger led programs at the Park.

D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW WITH MAXINE ALBRO HALL AND PARKER HALL CONDUCTED JULY 27, 1964, BY MARY MCCHESNEY, IN CARMEL, CALIF. Interview MARY McCHENSNEY: First, I'd like to ask you a few questions about where you had your art school training. According to this little brochure that you have from your last exhibition, which was in January this year, did you say you studied in San Francisco? MAXINE ALBRO: Well -- first I began at the California School of Fine Arts and then I went for one winter to the Art Students League in New York. Then the next year I went to the Ecole de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris and then after coming home, I decided to go to Mexico and study with Diego Rivera. I did get down to Mexico and I did study fresco painting with Diego's assistant but I never studied with Diego, himself. I watched him (Diego) as he worked and got acquainted with him and we talked a little bit, a little bit in Spanish, a little bit in English. I enjoyed talking and watching him but I never studied with Diego. Although watching Diego was very beneficial to me. MS. McCHESNEY: What was the name of the man you studied with, Diego's assistant? MS. ALBRO: Paul O'Higgins was his assistant. He was an American young man and helped Diego in many ways.

    John Miller, Untitled (March 20, 2020), ink-jet print, 61⁄2 × 9". Tony Rosenthal, 5 in 1, 1973–74. ON SITE CROSSED PATHS Alex Kitnick on the public art of Lower Manhattan August 2020 print issue THE MUSEUEMS ARE CLOSED but the sculptures are still there. Memorials and monuments, too. If you’re in Lower Manhattan, you can ramble along the Irish Hunger Memorial’s serpentine path, a rugged simulacrum of peat and stone. I’ve never been to Ireland, but I take it that parts of it look like this. The strangeness of the work is its location in Battery Park City, where since 2002 it has sat like a souvenir between corporate towers, with the Hudson River stretching out to the west. Robert Smithson called certain of his sculptures “nonsites” to denote their difference from the sites whence they came: A pile of shale in a steel trough in the middle of a gallery stood as a nonsite to a quarry somewhere off in New Jersey. The Irish Hunger Memorial has always struck me as a massive nonsite, a memory displaced and brought over from elsewhere, now made even stranger since the host site is no longer what it was. An eastward walk takes you to Federal Plaza, where Richard Serra’s Tilted Arc once stood. For most of the 1980s (I never saw it in person), the sculpture cut a steely line across the cobbled space, casting stark shadows, collecting graffiti and pee. Many office workers didn’t like it because it obstructed the building’s entrance, but certain judges looked out the window and saw a threat—a cover for bomb throwers or a simple sign of menace.

    Volume XLII, Number 2 - Summer 2006 The Many Names of the Lettie G. Howard, by Sam Hoyt In October 1969, American Heritage Magazine reported that on "September 1968, the schooner Caviare sailed up the East River to the [South Street Seaport] museum pier…" Thus began an almost 40 year, sometimes contentious, dia- logue as to the true name of the schoo- ner, involving a number of people. The primary question was whether or not Caviare was originally the Lettie G. Howard. Several facts were indisputable early on. Among them, Caviare was built by Willard A. Burnham (probably a rela- tive of current ASA member and builder Harold Burnham) at South Essex and launched in August 1891. In 1903 she was sold to the E.E. Saunders fishing company of Pensacola, FL. The Lettie G. Howard was launched in 1893 in Essex, MA, built at the legen- Lettie G.

  • Arctic Marine Transport Workshop 28-30 September 2004
    Arctic Marine Transport Workshop 28-30 September 2004 Institute of the North • U.S. Arctic Research Commission • International Arctic Science Committee Arctic Ocean Marine Routes This map is a general portrayal of the major Arctic marine routes shown from the perspective of Bering Strait looking northward. The official Northern Sea Route encompasses all routes across the Russian Arctic coastal seas from Kara Gate (at the southern tip of Novaya Zemlya) to Bering Strait. The Northwest Passage is the name given to the marine routes between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans along the northern coast of North America that span the straits and sounds of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Three historic polar voyages in the Central Arctic Ocean are indicated: the first surface shop voyage to the North Pole by the Soviet nuclear icebreaker Arktika in August 1977; the tourist voyage of the Soviet nuclear icebreaker Sovetsky Soyuz across the Arctic Ocean in August 1991; and, the historic scientific (Arctic) transect by the polar icebreakers Polar Sea (U.S.) and Louis S. St-Laurent (Canada) during July and August 1994. Shown is the ice edge for 16 September 2004 (near the minimum extent of Arctic sea ice for 2004) as determined by satellite passive microwave sensors. Noted are ice-free coastal seas along the entire Russian Arctic and a large, ice-free area that extends 300 nautical miles north of the Alaskan coast. The ice edge is also shown to have retreated to a position north of Svalbard. The front cover shows the summer minimum extent of Arctic sea ice on 16 September 2002.

  • Inventions in the Cotton Industry
    Inventions in the Cotton Industry Paisley Thread Mill Museum A Family of Threads John Kay: The Flying Shuttle 1733 • For centuries handloom weaving had been carried out by the shuttle with the yarn on being passed slowly and awkwardly from one hand to the other. • In 1733 John Kay patented his flying shuttle which dramatically increased the speed of this process. • Kay placed shuttle boxes at each side of the loom connected by a long board, known as a shuttle race. • With cords, a single weaver, using one hand, could knock the shuttle back and forth across the loom from one shuttle box to the other. • A weaver using Kay's flying shuttle could produce much wider cloth at much faster speeds than before. James Hargreaves: The Spinning Jenny 1764 • In 1764 Hargreaves built what became known as the Spinning- Jenny. • The machine used eight spindles onto which the thread was spun. • By turning a single wheel, the operator could now spin eight threads at once. • Later, improvements were made that enabled the number to be increased to eighty. • However, the thread that the machine produced was coarse and lacked strength. Richard Arkwright: The Water Frame 1771 • Richard Arkwright: The Water Frame 1771 • In 1762 Richard Arkwright met John Kay and Thomas Highs, who were trying to produce a new spinning- machine, to improve on the Spinning-Jenny. • Kay and Highs had run out of money and Arkwright offered to employ John Kay to make the new machine, with other, local craftsman to help. • It was not long before the team produced the Spinning-Frame.
