Biographical / historical:

Biography
Captain Harold D. Huycke, Jr. was born on November 22, 1922 in Oklahoma, and became acquainted with west coast shipping history while fishing and working around the Santa Monica pier and Santa Monica Bay fishing barges. He graduated from the California Maritime Academy in 1944 and the University of Southern California in 1947. He went to sea in the Merchant Marine in the Pacific during World War II, and after the war continued to go to sea, rising in rank to chief mate, and obtaining his master's license.

Captain Huycke spent several years in the shipping industry, loading ships as a cargo supervisor from Central American ports to British Columbia and extending to Hawaii. He spent a dozen years at sea from fourth mate to master, including the restoration work of the three-masted schooner C. A. THAYER and serving as bosun on her last coastwise voyage from Puget Sound to San Francisco in 1957. Huycke also participated in the restoration of the wooden steam schooner WAPAMA. Beginning in 1973, he became a marine surveyor. He has written several books on maritime history, including "To Santa Rosalia, Further and Back", a detailed history of a dozen German sailing ships detained in Mexico during the First World War.
