  • Merchant Marine
    Merchant Marine Acc# 00.0001 CollName (Full) Frank Hopkins ScopeNote Frank Hopkins was the director of the training of workers at the Maryland Dry- Dock Shipyard, in Baltimore, from 1942-45. The collection includes a manuscript entitled, "The Maryland Dry-Dock Company- Employee Training Program." This is a pictorial overview of the employee training program at the Maryland Dry-Dock Company. It shows scenes from classroom training along with "school gangs" at work. Also included are photos of many of the program's prominent members. The captions describe in brief the operation of the program and its success. The collection also includes a manuscript entitled, "Qualifying the Shipyard Worker Supervisor for his Job," that chronicles time spent on the US mainland. In this paper, which Hopkins delivered at the American Merchant Marine Conference in October 1944, he outlines the Maryland Dry-Dock Company's comprehensive training program. This program combined classroom and on- the-job training for workers at every experience level. It describes the progress of the program, and looks forward to the changing needs of post-war work. Also included is a manuscript entitled, "Report for Staff Meeting, January 4, 1945," which is a statistical overview of the results of the Maryland Dry-Dock Company's training program for 1944. A manuscript entitled, "Training of Women During 1944," shows the statistical breakdown of the results of the Maryland Dry-Dock Company's training program for women, categorized by trade and including figures for trainees to supervisors. The report also contains some brief editorial analysis by the author. Also, there is a letter describing overall training, including that of African Americans.

UNNTED STATES NH-74351 The globe as viewed from over the intersection of the Date Line and Equator. Foreword In narrating the naval history of a war, one approach open to a historian is to record the general story of naval operations, then complement the main history with works dealing with specialized fields. The Naval History Division plans to follow this approach in the case of the Vietnam War, focusing the Division's efforts primarily on an account of naval operations but accompanying the major history with publications in limited fields deserving of treatment beyond that to be given in the main work.
