Processing information
Processing of this collection included a collection survey, re-housing in appropriate archival containers, and the creation
of this finding aid.
This collection was minimally re-arranged into series and subseries based on the original arrangement and description created
by Dr. Norman Boas, a close friend of Jack Heaney. Dr. Boas’s notes
on the collection and document, “Chronology and Inventory of the John Heaney Papers” are available with the collection.
Biographical Note
John Heaney (1904-1972) was a Scottish-American interior and industrial designer who specialized in marine interior design.
Better known as “Jack,” Heaney was born on May 26, 1904, in Glasgow, Scotland. Following his education
in the Glasgow public schools, Heaney studied naval architecture at the University of Glasgow, attended the Glasgow School
of Art, and completed a seven-year apprenticeship at the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Ltd.
In 1926, Heaney immigrated to New York City and in 1931 became a United States citizen. He worked a series of jobs, including
as a door-to-door refrigerator salesman, until 1937, when he joined the naval
architecture and marine design firm of George G. Sharp Inc. At Sharp's firm, Heaney worked on ship interior design and exterior
styling for various steamships including the Robin Line (1937-1939 and 1946-1947) and the Delta
Line (1945-1947).
In 1947, Heaney opened his own design firm on West 54th Street in Manhattan under the name John Heaney (the firm was later
renamed Jack Heaney and Associates). In 1950, the firm moved to Beekman Place
in New York City, and in 1954 to Wilton, Connecticut. The firm specialized in
marine interior design and exterior styling, and their projects included a wide array of commissions from many of the notable
cargo-passenger ship lines and companies of the era including
Heaney’s most noteworthy project: the NS
Savannah, the first nuclear powered cargo-passenger ship.
The firm also took on land-based planning and design projects including the design of an aluminum stacking chair for Treitel-Gratz
Co. of New York.
Heaney’s aluminum-stacking chair, the “Aluma-Stack”, was exhibited at Museum of Modern Art as part of its 1947 “Useful Objects”
exhibition.
Heaney was married to Tui Anderson from 1927 until her death from illness in 1934. In 1950, Heaney married his George G. Sharp
associate JoAnne (Joan) B. Steane. Jack Heaney died in November 1972.
Scope and Content
This collection contains the papers of naval architect, artist, and interior designer Jack Heaney primarily related to projects
Heaney worked on in the mid 20th century at the New York City
marine design and naval architectural firm of George G. Sharp Inc., and later at Jack Heaney and Associates. The bulk of the
collection dates from the late 1930s to the 1960s and includes
both professional and project records primarily reflecting Heaney's design work for cargo-passenger vessels, and some personal
documents.
The professional and project records in the collection includes design renderings and drawings of ship exteriors, interiors,
furniture, and fixtures; photographs primarily of ship interiors; miscellaneous ephemera, often with
graphic components by Heaney; publications and clippings profiling Heaney's work; and some miscellaneous correspondence. Ship
lines with three or more related items are distinguished as
separate series, followed by other miscellaneous marine and furniture projects. For the most part, series are arranged chronologically
according to Heaney's work on the specific projects. The largest section relates to the
first nuclear cargo ship, the NS
Savannah. While most of the collection concerns Heaney's work, the Staten Island Ferries series also includes correspondence
related to JoAnne Heaney's interior design work on the project in the late 1970s. The materials also include twelve of the
first issues of
Harmony in G. Sharp, the George
G. Sharp firm's in-house magazine dating from the mid 1940s.
The personal papers include three shipbuilding books and a notebook used by Heaney as a student; six pieces of student artwork
dating from 1924 to 1926; and some additional postcards and pieces of ephemera.
Note: Titles in the contents list are chiefly transcribed from items; titles devised by the cataloger are enclosed in square
brackets.

Savannah, 1957-1972
Physical Description: approximately 225 items
Historical Note
The NS
Savannah, the first nuclear-powered cargo-passenger ship, was built in the late 1950s following United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower's
1955 proposal to
construct a nuclear-powered merchant ship as a symbol of his "Atoms for Peace" program.
The construction of the NS
Savannah was authorized in 1956 by the United States Congress as a joint project of the Atomic Energy Commission and the Maritime
Administration of the Department of Commerce. The Maritime
Administration awarded the design contract for the ship to the naval architectural firm George G. Sharp Inc. in April 1957.
Later that year, Sharp subcontracted with Jack Heaney and Associates, first, to design the ship's
exterior, and, in December 1957, Heaney signed a contract with Sharp for the interior design and decoration of the vessel.
The NS
Savannah was built in 1958 and launched on July 21, 1959. The ship took her maiden voyage in August 1962 and made her first transatlantic
voyage in June 1964, operated for the government by the American Export Isbrandtsen Lines.
The NS
Savannah was deactivated in 1971 and became a National Historic Landmark in 1991. In 2008, the ship was docked in the Port of Baltimore,
Maryland.
Scope and Content Note
This series contains drawings, photographs, clippings, and ephemera related to the work of Jack Heaney and Associates on the
