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 Harold D.

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.
The materials were likely donated or loaned for copying to San Francisco Maritime Museum by Harold Huycke, Jr., around 1970.
The materials were accessioned into the National Park Service when the museum was made a unit of Golden Gate National Recreation
Area and then were transferred to San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park after the establishment of the new park
in 1989.
Accession number SAFR-00001.
