Provenance
The photographs were taken by the Marine Photographer Wilhelm Hester from circa 1893 to 1905 in Seattle, Washington
After Wilhelm Hester’s death in 1947 his house was purchased by Jerry and Nora Sands. In the new home the Sands discovered
wooden boxes containing over 1,300 glass plate negatives. Aware of their historical value, the Sands attempted to find a buyer
in Seattle without much success.
In 1960, Robert Weinstein after examining a set of plates convinced Emerson Spear of Los Angeles to purchase the collection
as gift to the San Francisco Maritime Museum in memory of his grandfather, Captain Alexander Spear. Acting as Spear’s agent
Weinstein flew to Seattle, inspected the balance of the collection, secured a bill of sale, and supervised the packing and
shipment to San Francisco.
Some years later, the Sands sold a collection Hester’s prints to the University of Washington. Another group of Hester's personal
photographs were later sent to Weinstein and reproduced in his book Tall Ships on Puget Sound: The Marine Photographs of Wilhelm
Hester.
The collection was acquired by the National Park Service when the Maritime Museum became a unit of Golden Gate National Recreation
Area in 1977 and subsequently transferred to San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park upon its establishment in 1988.

Biography
At the turn of the 20th-century, marine photographer Wilhelm Hester took and sold photographs of ships and sailors at the
Tacoma, Seattle, and Port Blakeley waterfronts. The shipment of grain centered in Tacoma and lumber at Puget Sound's sawmills
attracted deepwater sailing ships, steamers and coastal vessels.
Hester was born in October, 1872, in central Hamburg. He and his brother Ernst arrived in the United States in 1890. They
spent the years 1890-1893 in Montana. In the fall of 1893 they arrived in Seattle. Shortly after their arrival Hester started
photographing together with his brother Ernst. He continued until 1898, leaving Seattle then for a year to search Alaska's
famed Klondike for gold. At 34, he appears to have given up photography in 1905 or 1906 to pursue real estate speculation.
In his retirement he bought and lived atop Seattle's Queen Anne Hill. He died at Seattle's Virginia Mason Hospital on February
25, 1947.
Scope and Content Note
This collection consists primarily of dry plate negatives and some original mounted prints. All of the negatives have preservation
film interpositives and negatives.
Hester's views of ships were by tradition a classic, broadside view at anchor or a photograph of her as she lay tied up at
a wharf awaiting her cargo. He developed favorite vantage points from which to photograph--a nearby wharf or dock, the roof
of a mill, a convenient swing bridge as at Eleventh Street in Tacoma, or from Port Blakeley's less crowded south shore. Crew
portraits were another mainstay of his business. Rare interior photographs of 19th-century sailing ship cabins. The collection
includes detailed images, both close-ups on deck and long shots, of loading lumber.
