STUDDS, Director WORLD WAR II HISTORY Of the COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY UNITED STATES GOERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE – WASHINGTON: 1951 INTRODUCTION 1 LEGISLATION AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING WAR DUTIES 2 TRANSFERS, RECRUITING, AND TRAINING OF PERSONNEL 3 WORLD WAR II HISTORY OF THE COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY INTRODUCTION The normal work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, carried on throughout the United States and its possessions, includes (1) surveys of the coastal waters and adjoining land areas; (2) observation, study, and prediction of ocean tides and currents, and of the earth’s magnetic elements; (3) geodetic control surveys and related gravity and astronomical observations; (4) production of nautical and aeronautical charts; and (5) seismological observations and investigations. These activities provide information essential for water and air navigation, for mapping, and for many other strategic purposes, and thus assume vital importance in time of war. Personnel engaged in this work acquire training and experience invaluable in many phases of military activities. Beginning during the period when preparations were being made for national defense and continuing throughout the war the Coast and Geodetic Survey was called upon to furnish, in increasing volume, a great variety of products and services which were required for virtually all classes of war operations. Activities of the Bureau carried on for these purposes were principally in the following three categories: 1. Transfer of personnel, ships, and equipment to the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps.

Lopez Printing by~ Precision Printing 3606 North Frazier Conroe, TX 77303-1431 Published by~ Victor D. Lopez Vig Wig Productions 12093 La Salle Oaks Conroe, TX 77304-4002 email: [email protected] © 2005 by Victor D. Lopez Dedication This book, like the first, is dedicated to the thousands of multinational pioneers who arrived in Aruba as strangers. With an incredible "can-do" spirit, they came together, coping with unforeseen and unforeseeable situations, forming a unique “Family” over the 60-plus years the Lago Refinery operated. To this day, these one-time neighbors connect and reconnect across continents and around the globe through e- mail, phone calls, letters and especially Larry Riggs’ Lago Bulletin Board and the enduring Aruba Chronicle , still seeing each other in memories if not in reality. This book is especially dedicated to our father who spent 20 years gathering this information and more that we never will recover. Thanks, Pa. i PREFACE This story concerns a group of young men including recent graduates, greenhorns and some with a little experience. In fact the company was finding that it was not easy to attract anyone to be a part of a crew to build and operate a new oil refinery on a barren coral island in the Caribbean. These men who agreed to come to stay either married after establishing themselves or were married before they came.

    Notes Introduction 1. “American Troops in Newfoundland,” London Times (January 30, 1941), 3. 2. For Newfoundlanders, the big troopship was like a floating city—it had a “modern” hospital, dental services, a gym, swimming pool, and a large assembly hall for films and other entertainments. St. John’s Telegram (February 1, 1941), 7. In April, the troopship was opened to thousands of St. John’s residents. The following day’s edition of the Evening Telegram included four photos showing Newfoundlanders thronging the ship (engine room, office, gang plank; and a corridor). The people of St. John’s were said to have enthusiastically entered into the spirit of Army Day. St. John’s Telegram (April 5, 1941), 12. 3. While the ship left the pier at First Avenue and 58th Street at 2:30 pm on January 15, it did not get underway for another hour as the vessel had lurched against the pier “breaking glass in several port-holes and scraping a forty-foot swath out of the gray paint along one side.” “First Defenders Off for New Base,” New York Times (January 16, 1941), 23. 4.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Him is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the Him inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been Hlmed, you will Hnd a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a deHnite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin Hlming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the Hrst row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
