Processing Note
The photographs in this collection (P83-019a) were originally part of a very large collection of Walter A. Scott photographs,
which were acquired by the San Francisco Maritime Museum at some point between the early days of the museum in the mid-1950s
to the early 1960s. In the mid-1960s, a large portion of the Scott collection was selected for cataloging. These images are
now part of the Classified photograph collection. An index of this collection is currently only accessible to Park staff through
the ICMS Archives Module Classified photographs directory. It is also accessible by staff through the card index (by vessel
name) and the card catalog (by vessel name, other subjects, and photographer's name). The material cataloged in the mid-1960s
was roughly half of yachting scenes and half of other commercial work, primarily of passenger vessels and freighters. The
bulk of the remainder of the Scott collection is described here, in P83-019a; however, there are several other small Scott
collections (see the
Related Materials section).
Generally, it seems that the photographs in P83-019a and in the Classified photograph collection are each unique and complement
each other with very little duplication (based on looking at PRESIDENT WILSON negatives in P83-019a and in the Classified
photograph collection). In a few cases, there is a negative in the Classified photograph collection and a corresponding print
in P83-019a. There are also photograph albums in another collection (SAFR 15240, P79-040a (SCR 32a-d)) that contain prints
made from many of the negatives in P83-019a.
The glass plates in this collection (P83-019a) roughly begin with some dating from 1900 and 1905, but increase in frequency
per year from 1910 (when he became a commercial photographer), through 1925-1926, when he shifted from glass to film. The
images on film begin in 1926, and run through 1935, with the last few in 1938.
The photographer numbers in this collection are generally in the range of 1-1200 and 2000-3000, with some early 4000 numbers
as well. The Walter A. Scott photographs that were cataloged into the Classified photograph collection seem to generally be
in the early number range of 1-1100 and in the 5000-6000 range; they also tend to have more steam powered vessels, but there
are also sailing vessels included in the Classified collection.
Scott's system for numbering his negatives cannot be described with certainty, since no index came with the collection, nor
do we have long continuous sequences of numbers. At least two persons, to judge by the handwriting, were involved in assigning
photographer numbers to the negatives.
In a general way, it appears that as some point Scott arranged his images of sailing yachts alphabetically by the name of
the vessel (but not necessarily chronologically under each name) and numbered them (roughly photographer numbers 52 through
911, in this collection), mostly 6.5 x 8.5 inch glass plates, but some other size plates as well. He then apparently continued
the number series (starting around photographer number 1006, in this collection), for the balance of the 4 x 5 inch glass
plates, ending in the mid 1200s. However, he did not assign numbers to images of powered vessels or other subjects in these
sizes, except where he had taken, under commission, a number of views and had numbered these as independent sets.
For his 5 x 7 inch glass plates, he appears to have begun with photographer number 2000 and to have continued with this sequence
when he switched to nitrate film negatives (beginning with number 2296), passing 3000 at the end, with a few numbered in the
4000s and two images in the 5000s. In this sequence, he did include images of powered vessels.
While it is assumed that most of the photographs in this collection were taken by Walter A. Scott, there are a few photographs
of photographs in the collection that were presumably originally taken by other photographers. For example, A.E. Wells (Item
848), Ingram of Long Beach, California (Items 838, 840) and Winter & Pond (Item 1609). In the scope note for the Walter A.
Scott photographs (SAFR 19479, P78-436a), it is noted that "In addition to his own photographs, Mr. Scott acquired the photographs
of T.H. Wilton and reproduced them for his own catalog of images." It is entirely possible that some of the photographs in
this collection (P83-019a) are also Thomas H. Wilton photographs. Wilton was one of the foremost maritime photographers in
the late 19th/early 20th century and was the proprietor of the Elite Studio. According to the SFMM Accession ledgers (406/1),
Mr. Wilton was a sea captain on coastal schooners before 1870. There are also photographs of paintings and information about
the original
painter has been noted at the Item level, when known. Walter A. Scott was a member of the California Camera Club, and it is
possible that some of the prints could be from other members of the club, though this could not be verified.
In 1984, it appears that SAFR staff arranged the photographs by physical type (roughly) and assigned Item numbers to the photographs.
The nitrate negatives were numbered first, then glass, then prints. See the arrangement notes for more detail. The photographer
numbers are not in order within each of the physical types or across all types.
Each photographic image has been assigned an Item number; there are often multiple physical forms of each image (e.g. a nitrate
negative, a contact interpositive and a contact negative) which has been noted in the physical description field. SAFR staff
created most of the contact interpositives and contact negatives in the mid-1980s and early 1990s.
In the Fall of 2013, SAFR Archivist Taylor Horton moved the following 104 nitrate negatives from the Nitrate Discard box to
regular nitrate storage, because he felt that their condition was not poor enough to warrant destruction: 64; 65; 68; 113;
116; 120; 290; 299-307; 313-318; 320; 326; 328; 330; 339-344; 347; 349; 353; 354; 382; 386; 393; 407; 411; 415; 416; 421;
424; 436; 447; 452; 467; 468; 476; 478; 481; 483; 486; 488-500; 527; 530; 532-534; 536; 538; 539; 541; 549; 558; 560; 562;
569; 579; 581; 585-587; 590; 595-602; 629; 699; 802; 808; 831; 832; 847.1; 847.2.
When SAFR staff member Richard Tooker processed the collection in 1984, he noted that: "Only about one-third of the images
now listed were identified by name. The majority of the negatives are numbered, but by no means at all." When staff members
re-processed the collection in 2014, they were able to identify many of the "unidentified" vessels by using the numbers and
letters visible on their sails and by the names on their hulls. They also intellectually arranged the photographs into Series
and File Units by vessel type and subject matter.
Description Notes:
Dates refer to when the original photograph was taken unless otherwise noted. Some of the photographic prints and negatives
in this collection are copies that were made much later than when the original photograph was taken, and the dates of these
reproductions were noted when known.
Note that any original enclosures that the Items were housed in at the time of donation are no longer with the collection,
with the exception of one box which is now stored with the glass plate negatives in Box 49. Some dates for individual Items
were derived from inscriptions on the Items themselves (either handwritten or etched onto the Item). Other dates were derived
from notations on the original discarded enclosures, and the remaining dates were determined based on evaluations from previous
staff members; however, there is no way to verify which method was used, and therefore some dates may be incorrect.
The descriptions in this collection guide were compiled using the best available sources of information. Such sources include
the creator's annotations or descriptions, collection accession files, primary and secondary source material and subject matter
experts. While every effort was made to provide accurate information, in the event that you find any errors in this guide

Maritime National Historical Park in September 1988. GGNRA had previously acquired the collection from the San Francisco Maritime
Museum when it became a unit of the National Park Service in 1977.
GOGA-00789 was transferred from the J. Porter Shaw Library to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) in February
1985.
It is unknown who donated these photographs to the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, but they were acquired
prior to the mid-1960s.
Historical or Biographical Note
Walter A. Scott (1864-1957) was a California photographer from the 1900s-1930s. He worked professionally from 1910-1940s and
primarily took photographs of yachts and other vessels in the San Francisco Bay.
Walter Amos Scott was born in Niles, California, on September 28, 1864, to Eleanor Bein McKay Scott (1819-1894) and Captain
Caleb Cook Scott (1813-1898). Eleanor and Caleb were both born in Nova Scotia, Canada, and his father was a mariner for many
years. In the early 1860s, Caleb and Eleanor settled in the San Francisco Bay Area alongside the Alameda Creek near Niles
[now known as Fremont], in a house he named "Mizzentop" (SFMM Accession Ledger).
Walter did not go to sea like his father. He attended Boy's High School briefly and was an "outstanding middle distance runner"
(SFMM). The 1889 University of California at Berkeley Blue and Gold yearbook lists Scott as a member of the Olympic Athletic
Club, and he was later a member of the Athlete's Association. According to the biography in the SFMM Accession Ledger, Walter
joined Baker & Hamilton as a secretary and was later a court recorder. He then went into business in San Francisco, handling
typewriters and office supplies from at least 1896-1909 (earlier years not verified). He had his own businesses and also worked
for other companies at this time.
From 1896-1899, Walter and Lewis M. Bannan owned a typewriter and supply business named Scott & Bannan, located at 331 and
333 Montgomery Street in San Francisco. In 1899, only Walter's name was listed under Scott & Bannan and it appears he might
have run it this year on his own. In 1900, Walter was listed as a general agent for Columbia Bar-Lock Typewriter, typewriters
and supplies and cameras, at 325 Montgomery Street, Rooms 7-8, San Francisco. From 1901-1905, Walter was Manager of The Columbia
Typewriter Manufacturing Co.; from 1901-1903 the address was 319 California Street, San Francisco; from 1904-1905 the address
was 207 Montgomery Street, San Francisco. From 1906-1907, it appears that he had his own business selling "typewriters, desks,
office supplies" and he was also an agent for Columbia Visible Typewriters at 1811 Fillmore Street and 523 Market Street,
San Francisco. He had his own business at 517 Market Street, San Francisco (1908) and at 531 Market Street, San Francisco
(1909).
Scott's interest in photography increased after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake (SFMM Accession Ledger). Walter was a prolific
amateur photographer until 1910, when he made the shift to commercial photography (San Francisco City Directories for 1909,
1910). He had photograph studios in three different San Francisco locations throughout the years, including 558 Market Street
(1910-1916), 583 Market Street (1917-1936), and 55 Stevenson Street (1937-1941). In the September 1941 issue of Camera Craft,
Walter A. Scott listed many cameras and photograph equipment for sale at his 55 Stevenson Street studio, and it appears that
he was downsizing. From 1942-1946, he was listed as a commercial photographer at his home address, 1234 10th Avenue, San Francisco.
In addition to his commercial business, Walter A. Scott was involved in photography associations: the California Camera Club
of San Francisco and the Photographers' Association of America. On April 12, 1909, he was elected the President of the California
Camera Club in San Francisco (Photographic Times). He was also Treasurer for the Photographers' Association of America from
1922-1923 (Camera Craft, Vol. 29; Camera Craft, Vol. 30).
In 1886, Walter married Jennie Ann Bannon (October 19, 1864-June 16, 1940) (her name has also been seen spelled as Jenny Ann
Brannon and Brannan). They had two children together: Walter George Scott (October 31, 1895-September 20, 1951) and Lloyd
Allan Scott (April 4, 1901-January 9, 1979). Walter George worked for C & H Sugar Refinery in Crockett, California, from at
least 1917-1920, and at the S & T Photographic printing and developing shop at 562 Market Street, San Francisco, from 1930,
1937-1940 (years outside these ranges have not been verified) (WWI Draft card; 1920 census; Crocker-Langley San Francisco
City Directories). He was married to Betty Meyrs and they had a son named Walter A. Scott, Jr. (September 29, 1916-January
9, 2000). Walter A. Scott, Jr. lived with his grandparents in San Francisco from 1937-1940 (Crocker-Langley, 1937-1940). Walter
and Jennie's other son Lloyd Allan Scott worked as a Master for Matson Steamship Company for 50 years and also as a furniture
handler. He
married Virginia D. (Sutton?) (1905-1975) in the 1920s and it does not appear that they had any children.
Walter was a Mason and member of California Lodge No. 1, F. & A.M., in San Francisco. Walter lived in San Francisco for most
of his life at the following addresses: 2210 Steiner, San Francisco (1886); 2532 McAllister, San Francisco (1896-1897); and
1234 10th Avenue, San Francisco (1898-1946).
Mr. Scott died at the age of 93 in Novato, California, on October 2, 1957. He was laid to rest in Cypress Lawn Memorial Park
in Colma, California. Walter A. Scott was survived by his son Lloyd Allan Scott, grandson Walter Amos Scott, Jr., and great
grandchildren Lois and Donna Scott.
Other potential information about Scott:
Some sources say that for a short period of time Scott attended the University of California at Berkeley, although this could
not be confirmed in any of their yearbooks for the years 1878-1888, 1890-1899. However, there was a Walter A. Scott listed
in the 1889 Blue and Gold yearbook as competing athletically as part of the Olympic Athletic Club, which is true according
to the biography in the SFMM Accession Ledger.
Walter Scott's family information:
Walter A. Scott's parents were Eleanor Bein McKay Scott (1819-1894) and Captain Caleb Cook Scott (1813-1898). Eleanor and
Caleb were both born in Nova Scotia, Canada; Caleb was born in Yarmouth and Eleanor was born in Pictou. According to the biography
in the SFMM Accession Ledger, Caleb was master of the British barkentine EMPRESS, which was later made into a grain barge
in San Francisco. In 1861, Caleb sailed from Yarmouth to Boston, Massachusetts, aboard the schooner EAGLE. Caleb "sailed his
way around the Horn of Magellan in South America on his way to a new life in the [San Francisco] Bay Area, and settled alongside
the Alameda creek near Niles" (City of Fremont's website). He was naturalized on June 24, 1867.
Caleb and Eleanor lived in the Washington Township, Alvarado Precinct, and Caleb was a farmer from at least 1867-1894 (later
dates not confirmed). Caleb was listed as a farmer on the 1860, 1870 and 1880 U.S. Censuses and the 1894 Oakland City Directory.
Eleanor died in 1894. From 1896-1897, Caleb lived in San Francisco with his son Walter at 2532 McAllister Street. The 1896
California Voter Register indicates that Caleb was missing his left leg at this time. Caleb died in 1898. Eleanor and Caleb
are buried in the Centerville Pioneer Cemetery in Fremont, California.

In the 1917 Crocker-Langley San Francisco City Directory, it is the first time that Walter's wife Jennie's name is seen in
parenthesis behind Walters (Scott, Walter A (Jennie A) Photogr 583 Market).
Collection Scope and Content
The Walter A. Scott photograph collection, 1877-1939, bulk circa 1900-1935, (SAFR 19105, P83-019a) is comprised mainly of
images of pleasure yachts, both sail and power, underway in the San Francisco Bay, California. The collection has been processed
to the Item level and is open for use.
Contains photographs of sailing yachts, power yachts and other vessels, 1877-1939, bulk circa 1900-1935. There are 2520 unique
photographic images in 4331 physical forms (858 nitrate negatives, 895 contact interpositives, 869 contact negatives, 25 safety
negatives, 1587 glass plate negatives, 3 glass plate positives, 4 lantern slides, 83 black-and-white photographic prints,
and 7 postcards).
Approximately four-fifths of the collection is comprised of sailing yachts underway on San Francisco Bay, California; more
specifically, a little over half of the collection contains images of sloops. There are many photographs of early sloops,
yawls, and schooner yachts built near the turn of the 20th. There are M, N, Q, R, S, and X Class vessels represented as well
as Bird Boats (a local San Francisco development in the 1920s) and some International Metre vessels (6m, 8m). There is also
a photograph of a San Francisco Sea Scout sailing vessel in May 1932 (Item 738).
From about 1895-1908, Walter A. Scott's yachting photographs are primarily of various regattas. After he became a professional
photographer in 1910, he took more commissioned shots of specific vessels, regattas, and other events throughout the yachting
season. Many of these views were obviously commissioned by owners, as they are close up broadside views with people on board
smiling at the photographer.
The locations of the images are mostly all in the San Francisco Bay " off Sausalito, Tiburon, Angel Island, Alcatraz, in front
of Fort Mason, and the San Francisco waterfront. Some of the waterfront views show buildings from San Francisco's 1915 Panama-Pacific
International Exposition (PPIE). There are also a few views of Point Lobos, Lands End, Ocean Beach, San Francisco street scenes,
and a trip to Point Reyes. There are additional photographs of Swanson's boatyard in Belvedere in 1912 (Items 2411, 2412)
and Madden's Shipyard in Sausalito in August 1927 (Items 301, 306, 815).
The collection also includes photographs of merchant steamships and U.S. Army and Navy vessels as well as photographs of photographs
and photographs of paintings of sailing ships. There are also a small number of photographs from the MADRONO (built 1884;
polar exploration vessel) Arctic exploration trip in 1928.
Collection Arrangement
Physical arrangement: The photographs in this collection appear to have been arranged and numbered by physical type (roughly):
Nitrate negatives (Items 1-862); Glass plate negatives, 4 x 5 inches (Items 863-1196, 2512-2519); Glass plate negatives, 5
x 7 inches (Items 1197-1717); Glass plate negatives, 6.5 x 8.5 inches (Items 1752-2466, 2481, 2511); Glass plate negatives,
8 x 10 inches (Items 1816-1817, 2467-2480); Photographic prints (Items 1718-1723, 1749-1751, 2482-2510); Safety negatives
(Items 1724-1748). The photographer numbers are not in order within each physical types (or across all types), and it appears
that the current physical order and numbering was done by previous SAFR staff.

Biography/Organization History
The Bird Class was a San Francisco Bay type, developed in the early 1920s to handle local wind and water conditions. In 1919,
the Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association formed the "S" Class Syndicate, "a committee of representatives of all six Bay Area
Yacht Clubs, to renew interest in yachting, racing, and inter-club competition. The Syndicate came back with historical questions:
How about designing an affordable, swift, racing cruiser that can charge through the blustery, choppy conditions of the San
Francisco Bay with the confidence of a freighter? A boat that can fly across the foam topped waves like, say, a bird?" (Norton)
"Members of the Pacific Inter-club Yachting Association (P.I.Y.A.), local shipwright J. Herbert Madden Sr., P.I.Y.A. Representative
Clifford A. Smith, and Sausalito Naval Architect Fred Brewer drew up a rough sketch of the proposed sloop for members of the
San Francisco Yacht Club. The drawing was then sent to well-known boat designer John Alden for review and drafting. The San
Francisco contingent accepted his suggestion for increased ballast but declined other modifications. " John Alden design Number
157 was drafted up by associate Sam Crocker on September 1, 1921 and became the basis for the Bird Class, which still exists
today." (Hook)
The first Bird Boat was built by Madden & Lewis in Sausalito in 1921 for Leon De Fremery, and was named OSPREY (which is a
large fish-eating hawk). Twenty-four Bird Boats were built from 1921-1947, and many of these boats are still racing on the
San Francisco Bay today (Registry). As of 2007, Birds can still be seen participating in the San Francisco Yacht Racing Association,
the Wooden Boat Racing Association, and the SF Master Mariner Annual Regatta (Pierre Josephs, http://www.birdboat.com/).

List of all Bird Boats ever built:
- 1 - Osprey (built 1921; sloop: yacht: Bird Class, No. 1)

- Owned by San Francisco Yact Club member Eddie Gillett (1923); Aeolian Yacht Club member B.O. Selbach (1924); San Francisco

Regatta at San Francisco in the "Bird" class (Source: 1932 Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association Year Book, page 26).
There are rumors that boat has an exciting history: it was reported in some local newspapers that in 1929 she was stolen from
the moorings off of Sausalito by an escaped convict and her remains were found on the sand at Dillon's Beach near the entrance
to Tomales Bay (Hook). However, other people say that Osprey just drifted off her moorings and was never stolen (Kays). (Sources:

on September 11 were: KITTIWAKE (yawl: yacht) won the event; IDLER (sloop: yacht) finished next; DORIS II (sloop: yacht) finished
third; ANITA started but did not finish. The officials and the press were on the tugboat RELIANCE. (Sources: San Francisco

The 5th Annual Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association (P.I.C.Y.A.) regatta was scheduled to be held on September 11, 1900, but
all events except the race for the twenty-foot special class were postponed, due to the absence of a leeward stakeboat. The
rest of the events were rescheduled and happened on September 16, 1900. The results of the twenty-foot special class race
on September 11 were: KITTIWAKE (yawl: yacht) won the event; IDLER (sloop: yacht) finished next; DORIS II (sloop: yacht) finished
third; ANITA started but did not finish. The officials and the press were on the tugboat RELIANCE. (Sources: San Francisco

Creator/Collector:
Scott, Walter A.
Extent:

Physical Description:
1 glass plate negative, 5 x 7 in. There is masking tape on the negative.
Scope and Content Note
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. (Sources: http://www.bruzelius.info/Nautica/Ships/Fourmast_ships/Cedarbank(1892).html;

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.

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.

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

This wooden vessel was built as a full-rigged ship by E. Flye at Newcastle, Maine, in 1872 and of 1,438 tons. She was operated
by Pope & Talbot in the lumber trade from 1887-1909. She was re-rigged as a bark in 1891. In 1909, CARONDELET was sold by
Pope & Talbot to the Alaska Barge Co. for conversion to an ocean barge. In December 1911, the barge CARONDELET foundered near
Prince Rupert. (Sources: Gordon Newell, Maritime Events of 1909, 1911; H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest.,

Scope and Content Note
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. (Sources: http://www.histarmar.com.ar/Veleros/Tusitalia.htm;

Scope and Content Note
It is unknown who took the original photograph and when this copy negative was created. Note that Items 1740 and 2490 are
copy photographs of the same original print, but with slight differences.
WILLIAM H. MACY was built in 1883 in Rockport, Maine, by Carleton [Norwood & Co.]. Owned by J.C. Eschen & Co. from 1900-1904
(later years not confirmed). WILLIAM H. MACY was the first sailing vessel on which Captain. P. A. McDonald served as an officer.
In John Kemble's book, "San Francisco Bay: A Pictorial Maritime History," p. 125, there is the following information: "At
the time this picture was taken, [WILLIAM H. MACY] was owned by Eschen and Minor of San Francisco, but she was still on the
Cape Horn route. She ended her days in coastwise coal and lumber service." A note on the small enclosure for A12.04244 says,
"In 1906, she was owned by Carleton, Norwood, of San Francisco." (Sources: Jim Gibbs, Pacific Square-riggers, p. 101; http://www.cimorelli.com/cgi-bin/magellanscripts/ship_bio1.asp?ShipName=William;

WILHELMINA was a Matson Line merchant vessel built by the Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., of Newport News, Virginia.
She was one of a series of Matson combination passenger-cargo ships with their engines and funnels aft, producing a distinctive
profile. WILHELMINA was launched on September 18, 1909, and completed on December 7, 1909. She entered Matson's San Francisco-Honolulu
service on February 10, 1910.
WILHELMINA served as a World War I troopship from 1917 to 1919, and on Matson's Portland-Seattle-Honolulu service from 1928
to 1930. She made her last passenger-carrying trip in 1932, being used solely for cargo thereafter.
In the late 1930s she was laid up in San Francisco, California, until sold to a British company in 1940. While a part of a
convoy sailing from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Liverpool, England, she was sunk by U-94 on December 2, 1940. (Sources: http://www.greatships.net/wilhelmina.html;

(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. (source: http://www.mendorailhistory.org/1_shipping/ship-info/ships_c.htm)

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.

The Lurline Pier (1894-1967) was located on Ocean Beach between Balboa and Anza streets. It was sometimes called the "Olympic
Club Pier" because of an intake pipe for pumping saltwater to the old Lurline Baths and Olympic Club pools downtown, hence
the two names. The pier lasted until the 1960s and formed the southern boundary of the stretch of beach that surfers still
call "Kelly's Cove". Lurline Pier protected the intake pipe for the downtown Lurline Baths (Larkin and Bush streets, 1894-1936).

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. (Source: http://deyoung.famsf.org/about/history-de-young-museum)

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.

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,

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. Draft: A Cultural and Paleontological Resources Study for the
