Acquisition Information

SAFR-02011
SAFR-2011. This material was created by George H. Wayland during the course of his professional life. Upon his death in 1947 the material passed into the possession of Myron Spaulding, a boat designer and builder who had apprenticed with George Wayland and who subsequently owned a boat building yard in Sausalito at the old Marinship site. George H. Wayland plans were given to San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park in 2009 as part of a much larger donation from the Myron Spaulding estate.

Historical or Biographical Note

BIOGRAPHY: George H. Wayland (1885-1947). George H. Wayland was educated at the University of Washington and began his professional career in the Seattle area. During World War I he worked for the Emergency Fleet Corporation at shipyards in Seattle and Tacoma, where he rose to the position of assistant superintendent of the Tacoma yard. Following the War, Wayland joined the Seattle design firm of Lee & Brinton, and was instrumental in opening their San Francisco office. In 1926 he left the firm to begin a solo design practice. Over the next two decades, Wayland either worked with or did contract work for the following ship and boat building yards on the west coast: Colberg Boat Works (Stockton); Geo. C. Boardman Co. (San Francisco); H.R. Fish & Co.; Wayland for Haviside Company; J.H. Madden and Co.; Madden and Lewis (Sausalito); Nunes Bros.; and Rasmussen Boat Works.
Among the noted vessels designed by Wayland are Volante (1936, sloop), Tamalmar (1927, 57 foot schooner), Alotola (ex Water Wheel, 1927, 57 foot schooner), Lady Jo (1932, schooner), Altair (1927, ketch), Mary Beth (1927), Marquita (1929, motor yacht), Skeeter (1930), and Graemar (1940). During the 1930s, Wayland also completed a few commercial designs, including a 1937 design for a 45 foot wooden tow boat, Telco, which was built at the Sausalito yard of Madden and Lewis for Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company. The Telco is a museum vessel at Hyde Street Pier, San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park (SAFR 20427).
George Wayland is particularly well remembered as the architect who redesigned John Alden's 1922 original Bird class design, which measured 29 feet. In 1926 the Bird Boat association paid Wayland $100 to redesign the Bird Boat, which resulted in the 25 foot Golden Gate Design Class One, otherwise known as the Baby Bird design.
According to Thomas Skahill, George Wayland was "something of an unsung master during his lifetime [but his boat designs] remain in high regard by the West Coast maritime community." He was an important mentor to noted Bay Area yacht designer and builder Myron Spaulding; Myron Spaulding collected and preserved this collection of George Wayland's naval architectural plans. Examples of George Wayland's design drawings can be found in other collections held by the park.

Collection Scope and Content

The George H. Wayland plans collection (HDC 1534) contains 721 items, the majority of which are original pencil on paper naval architectural drawings of yachts and smaller motor craft designed by George H. Wayland between 1921 to 1947. Most are undated. This collection is open for use without restrictions, except where noted for individual items at the file level.
The bulk of the collection includes plans for 105 jobs identified by design or job numbers ranging from 65 to 396, with gaps. Plans identified by vessel name include those designed by George H. Wayland, or for which he made redesign recommendations. Vessels with associated design or job numbers are in series 1.01; vessels without associated design or job numbers are in series 1.02.
The named vessels represented in this collection are: Aloha (ketch, job number 199, 1935); Altair (48' ketch, 1928); Astoria (job number 219, 1936); Averna; Bali (job number 205, 1935); Barbara (50 foot aux. schooner, job number 182); Belvedere One; Blankenses (1929); Camarada (job number 134); Chinook (34 foot aux. sloop, job number 227); Conquista (job number 135); Duck (34 foot yawl, job number 232); El Cita; Fearless and Fearless II redesign (1939); Fulton G. (cutter, job number 109, 1939); Homeward Bound (aux. ketch, job number 245, 1939): Idalia (schooner, job number 203, 1935); Imp (ex Corinthian II, job number 163, 1922); Jimax III (1953, 1957); Kathanga or K'thanca (92 foot motor yacht); Lady Jo (40 foot schooner, 1932); Leader (70 foot tow boat; job number 224); Lombari (punt, 1938); Machy Export Tees; Malabar VII (barge conversion, job number 261); Margaret E. (65 foot fishing vessel); Marilen, Mary Jane, Mary Beth (all design number 136); Marylin G.; Minerva (47 foot aux. ketch, job number 187); Moonlight (job number 113); Orphans (23 foot); Otter; Skyblue (28 foot motor boat); Suds (job number 194); Telco (45 foot tow boat, job number 230, 1937); Truant (yawl; job number 133); Volante (42 foot aux sloop, 1936, job number 217); W.H. Balowin; Wataridori; Water Witch (job 249); Yo Ho Ho (job number 244); and Zahma (yacht, job number 262, 1940).
Twenty nine (29) drawings are identified only by apparent design characteristics such as length or sail area, and are described in series 1.03. 85 original drawings have no vessel identification or apparent design characteristics, and are described in series 1.04.
Not all of designs represented in this collection were completed or resulted in built vessels. Nor were all of the drawings done by George Wayland original designs; a portion of these drawings are probably modifications for existing vessels.
Thirty five (35) plans and drawings in this collection originate from other designers, and are described in series 2. In addition to plans and vessel drawings, the collection includes charts and maps, described in series 3, and a small number of office supplies and document files, described in series 4.

Collection Arrangement

The collection is divided into four series, the first of which is divided into four sub-series.

File Unit 027.  Design No. 149, undated

Extent: 16 items (2 pencil on tracing paper; 1 pencil on blueprint verso; 2 blueprints; 7 diazotypes; 3 van dyke prints; 1 photocopy).

Scope and Content Note

Bird Boat plans. This file includes two annotated diazotypes of John Alden's original Bird Boat design no. 157, as well as 14 sheets views of George Wayland's modifications of the Alden original, as George Wayland design no. 149. Views include Alden's construction plan and sail plan, annotated by Wayland. The file also contains 14 sheets that show versions and views of Wayland's Design no. 149, including sail and rigging plans, lines, frame plan, and sections. Many of the reproduction diazotypes are annotated. Of note are two original pencil drawings of the profile, sail and rigging; one of these is a detailed pencil on tracing paper drawing, the other is a rougher pencil sketch of the same view on a blue print verso.
Alden's original Bird Boat design number 157 was 30 foot overall, with a 22 foot waterline, 78 inch beam, and a 5 foot draft. Her thin and short lead keel was 3200 pounds, with a 408 square foot sailing rig. The first Bird Boats were produced in 1922, and soon various owners noted that these boats sailed stiff, creating a very wet and choppy ride, and yet were not quite as fast as racers would have liked. In 1926 the Bird Boat Class voted to make modifications of Alden's design. For a fee of $100, George Wayland drew up new plans that deleted the minimum water length of 22 feet, added a 24 foot maximum, shortened the mast by 4 feet, and added internal ballast.

Volante (built 1936; sloop), is a 42 foot auxiliary sloop (42' x 10' x 6'10") commissioned in 1935 by Charles Langlais of the Saint Francis Yacht Club, and built in 1936 at the Nunes Brothers yard in Sausalito. According to Robert C. Keefe, "No history of the St. Francis Yacht Club would be complete without some mention of the Volante. For over 40 years, she and her various member owners had a great deal to do with the history and traditions of the club that are so very meaningful today." Following her sale in 1975, Volante passed out of the SFYC but continued to sail the San Francisco Bay. She had an illustrious career in the 1980s with notable finishes in the annual Master Mariners race (1st place in 1986 and 3rd place in 1989); she also took their Perpetual Dead Eye Award in 1989. See www.stfyc.com/files/StFrancisHistory.pdf for details on the details of her design and construction, and relationship to the St. Francis Yacht Club.

Extent: 85 EA Drawings (52 pencil on tracing paper; 10 pencil on drafting paper; 5 pencil on desk paper; 5 linen, 2 vellum, 5 blueprint verso, 6 printed paper verso)
Language(s): Technical drawings. Where notes appear, they are in English.

Scope and Content Note

Series 1.04 - George H. Wayland unidentified drawings. These 85 original drawings have no identifying job number, vessel name or defining vessel characteristic, and were found intermixed in no particular order with the bulk of George H. Wayland's drawings at Myron Spaulding's boatyard in Sausalito. The majority of these plans are undated, and dates have been estimated based on the characteristics of the material support, especially drawings which are on the verso of printed dated material. This sub-series is described at the sub-series level.

Arrangement

The arrangement of this sub-series was imposed during processing in the absence of a usable original order. This sub-series was arranged first with respect to the physical characteristics of the material (size and material), and then intellectually by views depicted.
Folder A020 contains 12 pencil drawings on tracing paper; all 12 drawings typically show lines and body and sheer plans.
Folder A021 contains 9 pencil drawings on tracing paper. 7 drawings show inboard profiles and cabin arrangements of unidentified vessel(s) with a steamer stack. 2 drawings are of section plans.
Folder A022 contains 3 pencil drawings on linen showing 1 body plan, 1 section plan, and 1 sail plan for unidentified vessels; 6 pencil drawings on tracing paper including 3 sail and rig plans, and 3 miscellaneous unidentified sketches; 2 pencil drawings of vellum, one showing a body plan, the other showing a profile plan; and 2 ink on linen drawings showing body plans. Folder A024 contains 3 pencil drawings on blueprint versos, as well as 6 pencil drawings on the verso side of various printed materials. Pencil drawings on blueprint versos include the following views: inboard profile, arrangement, sections, hull and annotated equations for an unidentified vessel, possibly design no. 237, all on one sheet; 1 inboard profile showing engine and shaft arrgt; and 1 hull framing plan. Additional drawings in this folder include the following: 4 sail and rig plans, 2 inboard profiles and arrangement plans, and a lines plan. Based on information derived from the recto images, the plans in this folder probably date from the mid 1930s.
Folder B018 contains 10 pencil drawings on drafting paper, including 6 lines and body plans, 2 sail and rig plans, on plan showing multiple views including an outboard profile, sections and body plan, and one graph of an uncertain purpose showing curves.

The pencil drawings on tracing paper include 5 profile and arrangement plans, 1 drawing of water tanks, and one sheet with miscellaneous and unidentified detail drawings on the recto and verso.
Folder B020 contains 18 pencil drawings on tracing paper, grouped into two different sets of related drawings. The first set include 9 drawings of an unidentified vessel, and the second set contains 9 drawings of a vessel which may be design number 198.
Box 1 contains a letter sized file folder containing 4 drawings on letter-size yellow graph paper, and a small pencil drawing fragment on plain white paper.
