The painting was created in 1911, but it is unknown when W.A. Scott took a photograph of the painting. The painting is signed and dated "R.A. Borstel/1911" (lower left) and inscribed "Laidlaw & Harris/64 Union St. Pyrmont/Sydney NSW" (lower right).
Reginald Arthur Borstel (1875-1922) was born in Newtown, Sydney, Australia, the son of a master mariner. In his early years he was himself a sailor, serving for a time as chief mate aboard the full-rigged ship RABOETEL. Later he became one of several artists employed by the Adelaide Photo Company of Sydney to work from photographs of ships and create oil paintings showing them in brisk winds and whitecapped seas. Borstel worked on his own in later years and is recognized as one of the last Australian marine artists to be commissioned directly by ship captains and owners to document the last days of the great age of sail. He successfully bridged the gap from sail to steam, but most often he painted the last surviving windjammers, the great steel barques and barkentines engaged in the waning pacific trade. From his studio on King Street in Newtown, R.A., Borstel produced numerous ship portraits that became postcards, advertisements and sailing posters. (Source: http://www.vallejogallery.com/artist.php?name=Reginald_A._Borstel&id=24)
CEDARBANK was a four-masted steel bark built in 1892 by Mackie & Thompson, in Glasgow, Scotland. She was rigged with royal sails over double top and topgallant sails. In June 1892, she was launched at the shipyard of Mackie & Thompson, Glasgow, for A. Weir & Co., Glasgow. The first master was Captain A.D. Moody. In 1893, the cargo of coal caught fire during a voyage, but the ship was saved due to the actions of the master. In January 1914, she was sold to A/S Olivebank (E. Monsen & Co.), Tvedestrand, Norway. Captain E. Abrahamsen. In September 1916 she was sold to Rederi A/S Cedarbank (Th. Brovig), Farsund (Norwegian company). On June 14, 1917, on a voyage from Savannah to Halifax to Aarhus with a cargo of oil cakes, she was sunk by the German submarine U-100 in the North Sea.

Item No. 01674.  Photograph of a painting of a full rigged ship (3m) underway, starboard broadside view, circa 1915

Creator/Collector: Scott, Walter A.
Extent: 1 photograph (1 physical form).
Physical Description: 1 glass plate negative, 5 x 7 in. There is masking tape on the negative. "Woolston & Barratt, Newcastle NSW" written on the lower left corner of the painting.

Scope and Content Note

There is a sailing yacht in the foreground, possibly with "P72" on the sail. There is another vessel in the background (possibly a steam schooner?).
The date of creation of this marine painting is unknown. It is also unknown when a photograph was taken of this painting.
The painting appears to have been created by the Australian duo Woolston & Barratt. They were the photographer George Woolston and the artist Walter Barratt, and their most productive years were the 1880s-1920s.

Item No. 01675.  Photograph of a painting of Leicester Castle (built 1882; full rigged ship, 3m) underway, port broadside view, circa 1915

Creator/Collector: Scott, Walter A.
Extent: 1 photograph (1 physical form).
Physical Description: 1 glass plate negative, 5 x 7 in. There is masking tape on the negative. "Woolston & Barratt, Newcastle NSW" written on the lower left corner of the painting.

Scope and Content Note

"LEICESTER CASTLE" is visible on the port bow. The date of creation of this marine painting is unknown. It is also unknown when a photograph was taken of this painting.
The painting was likely created between 1882-1911 when the vessel was known as LEICESTER CASTLE. The painting appears to have been created by the Australian duo Woolston & Barratt. They were the photographer George Woolston and the artist Walter Barratt, and their most productive years were the 1880s-1920s. (Source: http://www.mossgreen.com.au/content/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/MG002_Cat_web.pdf)
LEICESTER CASTLE was an iron-hulled full-rigged ship built in 1882 at Southampton, England, by Oswald, Mordaunt & Company. Her port of Registry was Liverpool, England, 1882-1911, and Drammen, Norway, 1911-1923, where she was known as VIK. Her final fate was to be broken up in the United States in 1923.

Item No. 01676.  Photograph of a painting of a bark (4m) underway, port broadside view, with a British flag flying from the jiggermast, circa 1915

Creator/Collector: Scott, Walter A.
Extent: 1 photograph (1 physical form).
Physical Description: 1 glass plate negative, 5 x 7 in. There is masking tape on the negative. "Borstel" is written on the lower left corner and "The Adelaide" is written in the bottom right corner of the painting. This was presumably painted by Reginald A. Borstel (1875-1922), an Australian painter. He was involved with the Adelaide Photo Company of Sydney. "Hester" is stamped in the lower right corner of the mat board around the photographic print and it appears that he took a photograph of the painting.

Scope and Content Note

The date of creation of this marine painting is unknown. It appears that Wilhelm Hester took a photograph of this painting and created a photographic print (Hester's name can be seen on the mat board around the print). It then seems as if Walter A. Scott took a photograph of the print that Hester created. It is unknown when the painting was created and when either of the photographs were taken.
The painting was likely created by Reginald A. Borstel (1875-1922) in the late 19th-early 20th century.

Item No. 02467.  Photograph of a painting of Cambrian Queen (built 1868; full rigged ship, 3m) underway, starboard broadside view, 1880-1899, circa 1920-1925

Creator/Collector: Scott, Walter A.
Extent: 1 photograph (1 physical form).
Physical Description: 1 glass plate negative, 8 x 10 in. There is masking tape on the glass plate negative. Photog. No. 26. "Cambrian Queen" is etched into the glass plate negative. "26" written in the lower right corner of the glass plate negative.

Scope and Content Note

There is a British flag flying from the jiggermast. There is a square rigged sailing vessel underway in the distance. The vessel was known as CAMBRIAN QUEEN from 1880-1899. The date of creation of this marine painting is unknown. It is also unknown when a photograph was taken of this painting.
Vessel History: The iron clipper CAMBRIAN QUEEN was originally named HOOGHLY when she was launched in 1868. Built for George Stanton in Oswald's yard at Sunderland, she was registered at 1,336 tons gross (1,300 net) and measured 222 feet in length with a 37 foot beam. Intended for the Calcutta trade, "hence her name, she was sold within several years to G.C. Trufant of London who put her to work on the Australia run. Around 1880 she was sold again, this time to T. Williams & Co., the Welsh owners of the Cambrian Line. Renamed CAMBRIAN QUEEN, she went straight onto the company's Australian service, usually returning with a cargo of Newcastle coal to the Pacific coast of the U.S. and thence home with nitrates from South America. After twenty years sailing under Cambrian colors, she was sold to Norwegian owners in 1899 and at the same time cut down to a barque to save on crewing costs. Barely three years later, however, she was abandoned at sea in a sinking condition in December 1902. (Source: http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/15901/lot/41/)
 

File Unit 3.  Photographs of photographs, 1877-1939

Extent: 24 photographs (27 physical forms).

Scope and Content Note

Contains photographs taken of photographs. Dates refer to when original photograph was taken, based on when the vessel existed and went by that name. Walter A. Scott is presumably the second photographer, and in most cases, the original photographer is unknown. Some of the photographs seem to have been taken by W.E. Worden, a San Francisco photographer who worked from 1902-1928. Some of them could also have been taken by T.H. Wilton. Underneath each vessel photograph, the vessel name is written and a number is assigned to the photograph as well (all in the same handwriting). It is unclear if this series of photographs were taken out of a publication or perhaps copied from one single photograph collection. There is also the possibility that these photographs were taken of prints in a photograph album (possibly P00-004?).
The vessels in this group of photographs are barks, barkentines, and other sailing ships. Many of the vessels were either wrecked or disappeared at sea. Most of the glass plate negatives have been cataloged in the SFMNHP Classified photograph collection and the safety negatives have been cataloged in P83-019a; it is unknown when they were separated from each other or why.

The following list is in photograph number order:

  • Photograph #1. Photograph of a photograph of JABEZ HOWES (built 1877; fully rigged ship, 3m) underway, view off starboard bow, 1877-1911. (Glass plate negative: J07.10722; Safety negative: J07.20114; No Items in P83-019a)

  • Photograph #13. SCOTTISH GLENS (built 1885; full rigged ship, 3m) underway, possibly in the San Francisco Bay, California, port broadside view, 1885-1924. B07.07272, J07.04343 and J07.10692 all contain the same image of SCOTTISH GLENS. It appears that B07.07272 (glass plate negative) in the Worden collection might be the original image. J07.04343 and J07.10692 are both copies (contact positive and negative) of the original image and both have "SCOTTISH GLENS, 13" written underneath the image (The handwriting underneath J07.10692 matches the handwriting on all the other negatives in this list). The summary note in J07.04343 said that this photograph possibly taken by T.H. Wilton; it is also possible (and probably more likely) that the photograph was taken by Worden. If it was taken by Worden, it would have been photographed between 1902 and 1924. (No Items in P83-019a)

This was a British vessel. She was built in 1885 at the shipyard of Barrow Shipbuilding Co., Barrow-in-Furness, for Gillison & Chadwick, Liverpool. She was launched in January 1885 and her first master was Captain T.S Bailey. In 1902, she was sold to Western Commercial Co. of Victoria, BC. In 1905, she was sold to Barneson, Ross & Co. of Victoria, BC (but they had a San Francisco office) and sailed by Captain McCallum (also of SF) in 1905. On September 20, 1905, DRUMCRAIG left Astoria, Oregon, for Manilla and was never heard from again. She is presumed to have sunk off the Mendocino, California, coast in a storm in late 1905.

It is unknown who took the original photograph and when this copy negative was created. This vessel was known by the name TUSITALA from 1923-1939, and then became a training ship in the U. S. Coast Guard.
Vessel History: INVERUGLAS was built in 1883 by R. Steele & Co., of Greenock, Scotland and was 261 feet in length. After several years in the Australian trade, she was sold and renamed SIERRA LUCENA. In 1904, SIERRA LUCENA passed from British to Norwegian registry, and her name was changed to SOPHIE. She sailed under the Norwegian flag for nineteen years. In 1923, she was purchased by the "Three Hours for Lunch Club" (Americans in New York) and her name was changed to TUSITALA ("Story Teller"), a name originally conferred by the Samoans upon Robert Louis Stevenson. The change of flags took place at New York on June 26, 1923, and she was christened by Mr. Will H. Low, artist, and an old friend of "R. L. S." She was famed in the 1920s as the only sailing vessel in the world operated year-round in an ocean route. In 1924, TUSITALA was purchased by James A. Farrell, Sr. (President of U.S. Steel Corp.) and, starting in 1925, her master was Captain James P. Barker (a former British shipmaster). The vessel was decommissioned in 1932. TUSITALA was the last American sailing ship that remained in the trade between Atlantic and Pacific ports of the United States. She was transferred to the U. S. Coast Guard as a training ship in 1939 and used as a receiving ship in St. Petersburg in 1940. The ship was finally scrapped in Mobile, Alabama in 1947.

This photograph was copied from another photograph. This appears to be the same photograph as P79-092a.63, which was taken by Ingram of Long Beach, California. "OHIOAN" visible on the hull.
This vessel was built in 1914 by Maryland Steel Co. at Sparrows Pt., Maryland, for the American-Hawaiian Steamship Co. and was the first A-H vessel to have this name. She was delivered on July 16, 1914, and was an Isherwood type vessel. On October 7, 1936, OHIOAN, loaded with explosives and oil, was trying to enter the port of San Francisco in fog, when she ran aground off Point Lobos. All crew members were saved and the wreck attracted a lot of spectators. The cargo was salvaged, but the wreck was left in situ. OHIOAN's hulk caught fire in March 1937, and the wreck broke into two pieces in a storm in December. By 1939, only some remnants were still visible.

Scope and Content Note

The ship's officers appear to be Japanese. The men are possibly part of a crew that brought a Japanese built freighter across the Pacific to the United States. (Reasoning: In 1920, Walter A. Scott took photographs of the crew members of EASTERN BELLE (built 1919; freighter) in San Francisco. These crew members brought the vessel across the Pacific from Japan. EASTERN BELLE was built for the U.S. Shipping Board (Hull No. 201; Contract No. 348) at the Ishikawajima Shipyard in Japan. (See Classified A01.05894, A09.05895, A09.05896, A01.06008, and P51.05896 for W.A. Scott photographs of EASTERN BELLE and her crew in 1920)).
Many vessels named EASTERN ____ were built for the U.S. Shipping Board in Japan from 1915-1920. Vessel names include EASTERN BELLE, EASTERN COAST, EASTERN CROWN, EASTERN GALE, EASTERN GUIDE, EASTERN LEADER, EASTERN MAID, EASTERN MOON, EASTERN TRADER, and EASTERN VICTOR. Builders include: Uraga, Fujinagata, Harima Ishikawajima, Kawasaki, Nitta, Yokohama, Asano, Mitsubishi, Uchida, Osaka) (Source: Pacific Marine Review, Volume 17, page 72, accessed from http://books.google.com/books?id=XKk-AQAAIAAJ&lpg=RA5-PA82&ots=0TvaMq-XWX&dq=Ishikawajima%20Shipyard%20in%20Japan%20%22eastern%20belle%22&pg=RA5-PA82#v=onepage&q=Ishikawajima%20Shipyard%20in%20Japan%20%22eastern%20belle%22&f=false)

Scope and Content Note

"SHERMAN" can be seen on the port bow, and there appears to be writing above it (presumably "U.S. ARMY TRANSPORT"). Many people visible on board (presumably troops?).
This vessel was originally built as the freighter MOBILE by Harland & Wolff, Belfast, for the African Steamship Company (Elder Dempster & Company). She was launched on November 17, 1892; delivered July 27, 1893. She was first chartered by the Atlantic Transport Line and then purchased by it in October of 1896. She is recorded in the Morton Allan Directory of European Passenger Steamship Arrivals making 44 voyages to New York for the Atlantic Transport Line between August 1892 and December 1897.
In 1898, MOBILE was bought by the U. S. Government for service as a transport during the Spanish-American War. This particular vessel was purchased on July 14 for $660,000, converted in New York, and given the number 1, "in accordance with the policy adopted of changing the names of foreign vessels to designated numbers after they come into the possession of the United States." She was not converted in time to serve during the war, but was retained afterwards for the new Army transport service, for which she was renamed SHERMAN.
SHERMAN made an excellent transport because she could accommodate 80 officers, 1,000 men and 1,000 horses as well as a high volume of cargo including refrigerated meat. She was allocated to the Pacific fleet and served on its regular San Francisco to Manila service. When SHERMAN returned to San Francisco from the Philippines with California's regiment of soldiers, she was the cause of the first working wireless signals in America. The city had planned a big celebration for the soldiers upon their return. But nobody knew when the troopship would arrive. George Otis Mitchell, a physics teacher at Girl's High School, had experimented with wireless telegraphy and suggested that if a wireless transmitter were put onboard the lightship San Francisco (which Sherman would have to pass), a lookout could report the sighting to a receiver located in the city who would then pick up the message and relay it via telephone lines. The idea was taken up and it worked extremely well.
SHERMAN took an active role in the Philippine Insurrection, the Boxer Rebellion, and World War One. She sailed on one voyage to Vladivistok and Trieste in December 1918 to collect Czech soldiers of war who had marched across Russia with the Red army in hot pursuit and in 1920 she carried American athletes from New York to compete in the Olympic Games in Antwerp.
In 1922 SHERMAN was bought by the Los Angeles Steamship Company for $60,000 and rebuilt as a cabin liner for their Los Angeles to Hawaii service by the Los Angeles Shipbuilding and Dry-dock Company at a cost of $300,000. The ship, renamed CALAWAII, now had accommodation for 178 first class and 52 third class passengers, and evidently proved to be a popular liner. In 1932, she was laid up and the following year she towed the burned out CITY OF HONOLULU to Osaka, where both ships were scrapped in 1933.

COQUILLE RIVER was a wooden steam schooner built in 1896 at Prosper, Oregon, by William Muller and C. Christensen. She weighed 415 tons and measured 141 long by 34 wide by 10 feet deep. With a 260 h.p. compound engine built by William Deacon Iron Works in San Francisco, she could carry 400,000 board feet of lumber. Owned first by Sudden & Christenson of San Francisco, COQUILLE RIVER was sold in 1905 to Swayne & Hoyt of San Francisco and in 1908 to National Steamship Company, owned by Union Lumber Company of Fort Bragg. In 1925, the ship was sold again to Russell J. Hubbard of Marshfield, Oregon and renamed WINCHESTER. She was eventually abandoned at Oakland Creek in Alameda in 1933.

File Unit 8.  Madrono (built 1884; polar exploration vessel) Arctic exploration trip, 1928

Extent: 17 photographs (19 physical forms).

Scope and Content Note

Contains photographs taken during the MADRONO's Arctic exploration trip of 1928. No information could be found about this trip.
Vessel History: MADRONO was built by John H. Dialogue in Camden, New Jersey, and designed as an inspection tender for service. She was launched in 1884, commissioned on September 14, 1885, and arrived in San Francisco, California, in January 1886. She was the third tender to serve in the Pacific and was a replacement for the tender SHUBRICK. During her career, she had two service launches assigned to her, HAZEL and MADRONO.
MADRONO was acquired by the U.S. Navy on November 27, 1917, and returned to the Department of Commerce July 1, 1919. She remained in service until October 11, 1927, when she was sold. She was used as a polar exploration vessel in 1928 (possibly other dates as well but this could not be confirmed). In 1941, she was acquired by the U.S. Army and renamed COLONEL CHARLES L. WILLARD.

Item No. 01711.  Memorial Museum in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California, circa 1900

Creator/Collector: Scott, Walter A.
Extent: 1 photograph (1 physical form).
Physical Description: 1 glass plate negative, 5 x 7 in.

Scope and Content Note

There are many trees and plants in the foreground. Walter A. Scott lived very close to the Memorial Museum (about a ten minute walk from his home at 1234 10th Avenue).
This building was constructed in Golden Gate Park for the California Midwinter International Exposition in 1894 as the Fine Arts Building. The chair of the exposition organizing committee was Michael H. de Young, co-founder of the San Francisco Chronicle. The Fine Arts Building was designed in a pseudo�Egyptian Revival style and decoratively adorned with images of Hathor, the cow goddess. Following the exposition, the building was designated as a Memorial Museum for the people of San Francisco (memorial to the Midwinter Exposition). Eleven years after the museum opened, the great earthquake of 1906 caused significant damage to the Midwinter Fair building, forcing a year-and-a-half closure for repairs.
As their collections grew, it became clear that they would need a larger space. Michael de Young responded by planning the building that would serve as the core of the de Young Museum facility through the 20th century. Louis Christian Mulgardt, the coordinator for architecture for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, designed the Spanish-Plateresque-style building. It was completed in 1919 and formally transferred by de Young to the city's park commissioners. In 1921, de Young added a central section, together with the tower that would become the museum's signature feature, and the museum began to assume the basic configuration that it retained until 2001. Michael de Young's great efforts were honored with the changing of the museum's name to the M. H. de Young Memorial Museum. Yet another addition, a west wing, was completed in 1925, the year de Young died. Just four years later, the original Egyptian-style building was declared unsafe and demolished. By the end of the 1940s, the elaborate cast concrete ornamentation of the original de Young was determined to be a hazard and removed because the salt air from the Pacific had rusted the supporting steel.

Scope and Content Note

The Newton J. Tharp Commercial School building (three story brick building) is in the middle of the photograph. It was originally built at Grove and Polk Streets, but it was moved to Fell and Franklin Streets circa 1912-1913. The building is resting on top of wooden beams. An empty lot is next to it in the background as well as an empty lot in the foreground. There are many advertisements on walls and buildings nearby, including: Scottish Hall; Carnation; Silko cigarettes; Shainwald Buckbee & Co; Geo. E. Gallagher, hatters; Schussler Bros; Fredericksburg beer; and some plays being advertised for April of an unknown year, including one for Sunday April 20.

Creator/Collector: Scott, Walter A.
Extent: 1 photograph (1 physical form).
Physical Description: 1 glass plate negative, 8 x 10 in.

Scope and Content Note

McCay's Candy, Ice Cream and Stationary store is on the left and the Burlington Hotel might be next door to it. Hotel Carlton, Hotel Brown and the Glasgow Apartments are in the background. There are many advertisements on walls and buildings nearby, including: Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and Goodrich Tires.
There is an empty lot in the foreground on the right with a sign on it that says: "Site of/ San Francisco Opera House/ Part of Civic Center/ Building the gift of generous Citizens." In 1927, $4 million in municipal bonds were issued to finance the design and construction of the San Francisco Opera House (the first municipally owned opera house in the United States). The architects of the building complex were Arthur Brown Jr., who had designed City Hall between 1912 and 1916, and G. Albert Lansburgh, a theater designer responsible for San Francisco's Orpheum and the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The Opera House was completed in 1932.
The previous envelope created by SAFR staff said: "San Francisco Civic Center area, looking northwest from along Larkin Street" but this appears to be incorrect, as the future site of the San Francisco Opera House is on the right side of the photograph, which would make this view looking down Franklin.

This would mean that the photograph was taken on Fulton Street, McAllister Street or Grove Street looking northeast.

File Unit 3.  Point Reyes Trip, 1900 February 11

Extent: 11 photographs (11 physical forms).

Scope and Content Note

Contains photographs of people on a trip to Point Reyes, California. The original box that held the negatives from this trip is stored in Box 49. It has Walter A. Scott's annotations on the front and back. Some photographs in this File Unit say that they were taken at "Hosmer's place." This possibly refers to Harry B. Hosmer, although this could not be confirmed.
Harry B. Hosmer was a member of the San Francisco Elks Lodge in 1900, and since Walter A. Scott was a member as well, perhaps the photographs in this File Unit are of an Elks outing, or just an outing because they were friends (Source: San Francisco Call, Volume 87, Number 153, 22 April 1900, page 27).
Hosmer was also a hunter, and several newspaper articles at the time these photographs were taken list him as hunting near the Point Reyes area. In January 1900, H.B. Hosmer was noted as duck hunting at the Olympic Gun Club preserve. In October 1900, H. B. Hosmer and W.J. Street were part of a duck hunting club (either the Field and Tule Club in Cordelia or the Point Reyes Sportsman Club in Point Reyes, which were both established in October 1900). (Sources: San Francisco Call, Volume 86, Number 164, 11 November 1899, page 8; San Francisco Call, Volume 87, Number 58, 27 January 1900, page 5; San Francisco Call, Volume 87, Number 128, 6 October 1900, page 4)

The Paraffine Paint Company was established in 1884 in San Francisco by Truman Pierce and Melvin Beardsley. The partners produced P&B Paint, asphalt paint that waterproofed and preserved wood and metal. The company began producing waterproof roofing and building papers in the 1890s. The 1906 earthquake brought an increased demand for building materials and the company added new products. In 1912, Paraffine began diversifying and purchasing companies unrelated to paint and building materials. By 1918, the company owned eight subsidiaries that it incorporated into Paraffine Companies, Inc. Paraffine Paint was used on the Golden Gate Bridge. Just prior to World War II, the company expanded into new manufacturing lines including insulation materials, fiber shipping cases, glass bottles, corrugated cartons, and paper pails and cartons. With eleven manufacturing plants, the company changed its name to PABCO. By 1956. the Emeryville site had nine manufacturing plants in and outside of California. PABCO closed the Emeryville plant in 1972. (Sources: LSA Associates, Inc.
