<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Due to the great work NOAA is doing locating
wreck sites in the Gulf of the Farallones Marine Sanctuary there has been a lot
of interest in the subject of local shipwrecks. The following is a list of
material available at the San Francisco Maritime Research Center on the subject
of shipwrecks along the California Coast along with some online resources. Also included is material on subjects related
to shipwrecks such as underwater archaeology and the Life-Saving Service. This is by no means an exhaustive list, rather
it is to give the researcher a taste of the collection. To do further research, please see our </span><a href="file:///C:/Users/HHERNA~1/AppData/Local/Temp/keys.bywatersolutions.com"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Keys</span></a><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> catalog.

A poet must master not only the ability to create images
with words but also to create a cadence and a rhyme that does not sound
sing-songy, forced, or contrived. A maritime poet must also master the language
of the sea and the sailor and knew the ways of those who sail the seas. During
the first half of the twentieth century, Cicely Fox Smith, mastered all of
those skills to become one of the most enduring, and yet unknown, maritime
poets Britain ever produced.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1899, her book of poetry called “Songs of Great Britain”
appeared in the British literary markets to favorable reviews. By 1904 she had published
her fourth volume of poetry earning herself a place in the book <i>Women Poets of the Nineteenth Century</i>.
The editor, Alfred H. Miles, had this to say about the young poet.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

Cicely chose travel to Africa as her dream, but in 1911 she
settled instead for a trip with her mother, Alice Wilson Smith, and her sister,
Margaret (Madge) Scott Smith, on a steamship bound for Canada where they
visited her older brother, Richard Andrew Smith. Eventually Cicely ended up in
the James Bay neighborhood of Victoria at the southern tip of Vancouver Island
in British Columbia. Here she worked as a typist from 1912-1913, first for the
BC Lands Department and then for an attorney on the waterfront.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Along the waterfronts of Victoria, Cicely Fox Smith found her
maritime voice. She roamed the wharves
and alleys during her spare time, talked with residents and sailors, listened
to their stories, and learned the ways of the sailor and the sea. She also
haunted the local lumber yards with their docks where sailing ships still
arrived in port to load lumber and then transport it around the world. The men
who sailed these vanishing vessels shared their stories and love of the sea
with her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The knowledge she gained from these sea-going men permeates
the maritime themed poems and prose she wrote after her return to England late
in 1913, just before the outbreak of World War I. Publishing under the byline
of “C.F.S.” or “C. Fox Smith,” her poetry concerning ships, the sea, and the
sailors life lead many readers to believe that she was a sailor and, therefore,
a man, who had spent years working aboard sailing ships. Initially she
published her writings in numerous well-known magazines of her day, including <i>Canada Monthly</i>, <i>The London Mercury</i>, <i>The
Nautical Magazine</i>, <i>The Spectator</i>,
<i>The Times Literary Supplement</i>, <i>The Daily Colonist</i> (British Columbia), <i>The Register</i> (Australia), <i>Nelson Evening Mail</i> (New Zealand), and <i>Punch</i>. Later she republished most of
these poems in her volumes of poetry. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cicely wrote more than just poetry. During her lifetime she
penned three romantic novels, numerous short stories and articles, as well as
several books describing “sailortown.” As a compiler, she published a volume of
traditional sea shanties she collected over the years and edited a collection
of sea poetry and prose written by author authors. During the latter years of
her life she wrote children’s sea stories with her sister, Madge, travel books,
history books, a book about ship models, at least one biography titled <i>Grace Darling</i>, contributed and edited
many collections, and contributed literary reviews to <i>Punch</i> magazine and the <i>Times
Literary Supplement</i>. Her brother, Phil Wilson Smith, well-known for his
etchings and oil paintings, illustrated many of her poetry and prose books.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1937 Cicely finally realized her life-long dream to visit
Africa when the Union-Castle Mail Steamship Company offered to sail her around
the continent’s coast, with stops in many of the harbors along the way, as
their guest. Her experiences during that memorable trip appeared in <i>All the Way round: Sea Roads to Africa</i>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The <i>Spectator</i> hailed
Cicely works as “combining a mastery of sea-lingo with perfect command of sea
rhythms.” Other literary reviews of Cicely Fox Smith’s poetry and prose, which
appeared in her 1919 publication <i>Songs
and Chanties</i>, appear below.<o:p></o:p></div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“No one, not even Mr. Masefield, has written finer sea
ballads or come closer to the heart of those who go down to the great waters.”
-<i>Spectator</i><o:p> </o:p>“The writer’s vocabulary of sea phrases is striking and
characteristic; the technicalities proclaim a real sea lover, and the tone and
colour are only excelled by the lilt of the verses.” –<i>Navy</i><o:p> </o:p>“The sea songs have the breath and the sound and the motion
of the waters in them.” – <i>Manchester City
News</i><o:p> </o:p>“It is not likely that many lovers of sea-songs have missed
the voice of Miss Fox Smith, but if they do not know her ‘Songs in Sail’ let
them read ‘Sailor Town’ – the dancing colours and fresh scents of the harbor,
the rush of the sea and wind, the cheery pathos of the outward-bound, the
sailor’s homesickness – all this is carried on the rhythm of her verses with a
vividness hardly equaled by any other verse writer of the day.” – <i>Times</i><o:p> </o:p>“In her I verily believe the quintessence of the collective
soul of the latterday seamen has found its last resting-place, and a poignant
voice, before taking its flight forever from the earth.” – Joseph Conrad</blockquote>

Cicely Fox Smith crossed the bar on 8 April 1954 at the age
of 72, but her voice remains strong as her poetry and prose keep alive of the ways
of the sailor and his sailing ships long after they have departed from the
seas.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
As any reader knows, despite our best intentions, books are occasionally damaged. Here in the Collections Dept., we do a lot of repairs on our collections materials, including repairs and stabilization of items upon receipt--a lot of items are in bad shape when they arrive, and we repair and stabilize them so they can be used for research by our users.<br />
<br />
The books shelved in our main stacks are not only used by researchers in the Reading Room of the Research Center, but unlike our rare books, they also circulate to staff, and to researchers at other libraries via interlibrary loan. (Rare books never leave the Research Center, and the decision process for their preservation is entirely different--they are preserved as acquired and often placed in protective enclosures.) Sometimes we decide to simply replace a damaged stacks copy by purchasing one in better condition, but when we can't easily replace the copy, or repair is more efficient than replacement, we repair it.<br />
<br />
One such item is our copy of the <a href="http://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=8498">Romance of Piracy</a>--the bottom of its spine was damaged. This typically happens when a book is dropped. This is a picture of the spine at the bottom of the book, showing the spine slightly detached from the front board (the front cover). The book is held spine up in a finishing press, ready for repair:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using an adhesive that is a mixture of wheat starch and methyl cellulose in water, which is fully reversible in water (should we ever wish to reverse the repair), I used a small piece of hanji paper to repair the spine, placing part of the hanji paper under the rumpled and partially detached spine piece, and overlapping a bit onto the front cover:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then a piece of wax paper is placed on the repair, with waste paper behind that to absorb moisture, and the book is wrapped in a bandage to apply pressure to the repair, so it dries as flat as possible. It's left like this overnight (and I'm always impatient in the morning to see how it came out!)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the dried repair, with the book back in the finishing press, so I can easily trim the hanji paper's little threads that hang below the bottom of the book:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The final step is coloring the hanji paper so that it blends with the rest of the book binding with some colored pencils--this is purely for aesthetic reasons. The finished repair:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And, most importantly, the book is now sound, and opens and closes again as it should, and is ready to be read again!<br />

Before she sailed and during the captain’s “long-drawn-out harangue” his mates, on his order, “industriously and diligently ransacked the crew’s sea bags and chests in the forecastle”. Once this was done, “Captain Waterman chose the watches and had each man lay his sheath knife on the main hatch where the carpenter neatly broke off the point of each blade.” (85-86). This act rendered the knife useless as a quick weapon.

</span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">For the crew of the British cargo transport ship <i>Mary Horlock</i> built in 1919, late January 1924 on the Pacific Ocean 700 miles off-shore of Japan was a nightmare. Not only were they fighting shifting cargo that caused the vessel to list dangerously, but nature also conspired against them in the form of a major storm growing to typhoon proportions. On the morning of January 26, the captain ordered an SOS issued in hopes that another vessel might be able to assist them.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">One hundred miles away, the radio operator on board the old Pacific Mail steamship <i>President Taft</i> picked up that distress call and passed the information on to Captain Girard T. January. Immediately Captain January changed course and the <i>Taft </i>began battling her way through the storm to the sinking <i>Mary Horlock</i>. By afternoon the <i>President Taft</i> reached the <i>Horlock</i> to find her barely afloat. Without her cargo of lumber she would have slipped beneath the waves long before help arrived.</span><br />

At the same time, the crew on board the <i>Horlock</i> determined that lifeboats could not be launched filled with passengers. In desperation they dropped a boat over the side and, when it remained afloat, half of the crew managed to jump into it as it rose and fell on the turbulent seas and then struggled against the elements and, "...miraculously reached the side of the <i>Taft</i>." (S. Miller Holland, transcription of newspaper article in Park's accession folder for P05-005.) According to Chief Engineer Dugan, 2,575 barrels of oil were pumped overboard to calm the turbulent sea next to their ship so that when the lifeboat came alongside, the crew of the <i>President Taft</i> was able to deploy their cargo nets to haul the twenty exhausted members of the <i>Horlock </i>crew from their lifeboat.</span><br />

Sommer, placed in charge of the rescue party, quickly chose six Filipino able-bodied seamen to man the lifeboat and make the journey with him, "...because the American seamen we got in those days were taxi drivers and everything else. They couldn't handle it. And those Filipinos were very loyal. They would do what I wanted them to do. Strictly obey orders...They were wonderful boatmen." (Frank J.

Frank Sommer donated this photograph at the time of his <a href="http://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=23628">oral history interview on April 15, 1965</a>.<br />

Sommer and his Filipino crew quickly fought their way across the open sea between the ships and positioned their boat alongside. One by one the remaining crewmembers jumped into the lifeboat. With the last of the <i>Horlock's </i>crew accounted for, the lifeboat headed, "...across a fierce, foaming, bursting tide, with every mad wave almost drowning the sky, [as] Mr. Sommer's heroic band fought their way to the side of their own staunch ship the <i>President Taft</i>. The ocean rolled fiercely and unmercifully, hell opening up every time the lifeboat plunged down from the crest of a billow to the watery valley below." (Holland)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
More than an hour after setting out from the <i>Taft</i>, the last member of the <i>Horlock's </i>crew was safely on board, and Sommer and his crew of Filipino sailors once again stepped onto the <i>Taft's </i>deck, to "...a universal round of applause and cheering from the passengers and others of the crew of the <i>President Taft</i>. The intensity of the cheering for a moment almost echoed louder than the loud ocean." (Holland)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The <i>Mary Horlock</i> slipped beneath the Pacific's waves shortly after the completion of this rescue operation, leaving no identifiable flotsam in her wake.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Captain January referred all congratulations to Chief Officer Sommer and his crew. Sommer, however, stated that Captain January "...was greatly responsible for the success of this rescue oepration. I am afraid that it would have been a failure, had it not been for his perfect cooperation and handling of the <i>President Taft</i>. He was very successful in creating a perfect lee for the returning lifeboat." (Holland) In addition, Sommer expressed gratitude and praise for "...the six loyal Filipino sailors, who volunteered and almost insisted to man the lifeboat with me. I will always remember the names of Laxinto, Sim, Demerin, Valencia, De la Cruz and Fernandez." <span style="color: #222222;">(Frank J. Sommer </span><a href="http://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=23628">oral history interview on April 15, 1965</a><span style="color: #222222;">) </span></div>

It’s Valentine’s season! Can’t you smell the chocolate in
the air? You probably think we librarians and archivists are a cold calculating
bunch, only thinking about classification systems and preservation methods but
we feel love too! Why just the other day I came across a few items in a
scrapbook that made my heart go all a-flutter. I’ve <a href="http://fullfathomcollections.blogspot.com/2012/06/digging-for-gold-at-library-ladies-in.html">written</a>
about <a href="http://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=25859">scrapbooks
of the San Francisco Yacht Club </a> before,
but while going through them recently to fulfill a reference request from one
of our staff, I came across the drawings below and the poem which were just too
sweet not to share with you, my beloved readers, on Valentine’ s Day.. <o:p></o:p></div>

I’ve posted this photo before, but I’m bringing it back for
a special Valentine’s Day rerun. I love the way the two courters are staring into each other’s eyes. What plans
are they making? Perhaps a walk along the boardwalk later? Or first and last dance at the spring
ball? It’s impossible to ignore the direct gaze of the other woman, as she beckons
you to sit next to her and have a cup of
tea. Maybe you’ll be strolling down the boardwalk arm in arm with her later as
well.<br />

As winter has descended upon us (or so I am told- it’s still
around 60 degrees in San Francisco) people start looking for more indoorsey
activities. As the months of forced home imprisonment grow longer, your
entertainment options run out. Can you
really watch that same action film one more time without screaming? Will your
spouse make good on that threat to walk out the door if you rewatch that
beloved tv show from the 90’s from the beginning for the third time? Have you
really watched everything in your queue even the things that you just put there
to impress other people, never actually intending to watch? Well, then we here
at the Maritime Research Center have a real treat for you. A search of our catalog turns up 27 <a href="http://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=kw&op=and&idx=kw&op=and&idx=kw&limit=mc-itype%2Cphr%3AWEBMOVIE&sort_by=relevance&do=Search">movies</a>
available for streaming for free. That’s right 27 movies you can watch right
now for free and I can almost bet anyone that you haven’t seen most of them.
Ever wonder what Fisherman’s Wharf looked like in 1897? I bet you do because
you are reading a maritime themed blog! So
check out this Edison <a href="http://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=37865">film</a>
of a felucca taking in her sail. Need something a bit more substantial? How
about a <a href="https://archive.org/details/chi_00005">film</a> that shows World
War II tankers built here in the Bay Area at Marinship? Something lighter? Why there’s always <a href="http://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=37879"><i>Mabel and Fatty Viewing the World’s Fair at
San Francisco</i></a><i>, Cal</i>? A Mack
Sennet production staring Mabel Normand and Fatty Arbuckle made in 1915, this
film features many maritime topics such as the battleship <i>Oregon</i>, a Crowley ferry (#17), the former prison hulk, the <i>Success</i> and the Ferry Building.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Almost all of these films are on the <a href="http://www.loc.gov/">Library of Congress website</a> or the <a href="http://www.archive.org/">Internet Archive</a>. If you are a fan of
motion pictures, I highly recommend checking out the sites and just browsing.
What else are you going to do? Pretend you haven’t seen every single British
detective show on TV already?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
So go make that popcorn! Or, if you really want to be
authentic, make some hardtack to gnaw on and sit back and enjoy some good
maritime entertainment. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Did you know I take suggestions for posts? Especially ones that come from my boss, Keri! While digging through one of our “pam files” (you oldsters might remember them as vertical files from back in the day) on National Maritime Day (Friday May 22nd) she came across an article about the Queen of the Day contest at the National Maritime Day Program at Aquatic Park. Now, as an American, I don’t know much about royalty, but I’m pretty sure Queens aren’t forced to swab decks or other any laborious tasks (although the image of Queen Victoria climbing the rigging of the Cutty Sark is an interesting one).<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Crowning a queen wasn’t the only activity that day. Other articles mention events such as a life boat races, a Coast Guard rescue performance and something called “water clowns”…<br />
<br />
Did you or your family attend any of these events back in the 60’s? Were you a Maritime Queen or a even a Water Clown (it’s ok, you can admit it)? Let us know! Any ideas for how we should celebrate National Maritime Day in 2015? We’re all ears. Just drop us a line. I’ll check back when I’m done doing my practice swabs on the deck.<br />

Have you ever wondered how to make cake for one hundred people? Or have you wanted some simple, visual instructions for carving meat? You can find all this and more in <a href="https://archive.org/details/safr_cookingandbaking_103090_access">Cooking and Baking on Shipboard : Official War Administration Manual</a> from 1945, which we've digitized and made available for free in multiple, searchable formats on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
Over 358 pages, the book is richly illustrated with how-to photographs as well as clear drawings of everything from the basics to advanced techniques. Definitions of cooking terms, advice on caring for equipment and for proper sanitation, and dozens of recipes and recommended menus are included. We've made the book keyword searchable, but an extensive index at the end makes browsing easy.<br />

The back cover of the <a href="http://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=37143&query_desc=acqdate%3D2014-07">Ship Steward's Handbook</a> says it all: "This charming little handbook was
first published in the 1950s as an aid for stewards in the Merchant
Navy. With an emphasis on pride in one's work, and a thoroughness and
dedication to the highest level of service, it sets out precise
instructions on a steward's duties from table etiquette to cabin
service." Illuminating not just the steward's duties, but what it may have been like to be under such a steward's care, be sure to stop by the Research Center to take a look at this glimpse into a mid-century merchant sailor's seafaring life.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03048621541226232919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064124902314975157.post-85082294509572477552014-08-19T06:00:00.000-07:002014-08-19T06:00:06.003-07:00New in the Research Center: WindLasses, Kindred Spirits(by Heather Hernandez, Technical Services Librarian)<br />

On Sunday, August 12, 1962, Kenichi Horie arrived in San Francisco, becoming the first person to sail alone across the Pacific.

<br />
One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands is "Nothing on My Mind" by Too Much Joy. (Give it a <a href="http://www.toomuchjoy.com/index.php/2013/06/song-of-the-week-nothing-on-my-mind/">listen on their Song of the Week blog</a>.) It's a song on their album Cereal Killers, which is always with me--in multiple formats at home, and on my player in my bag.<br />
<br />
This song has always captured an exact feeling for me: grabbing a sketchbook and heading to the water. In times of joy, in times of sadness--letting it all go, sitting on the beach, on a pier, or on a boat and losing myself in drawing what I see. A sketchbook, drawings, pencils, colors--and the water with its boats, birds, waves. One of the best things about where I work, and where anyone can visit: we know "guys" with boats, and some of them are so quiet...without motors...<br />
<br />
What does this have to do with Collections? Plenty! Need some hints about drawing? Need something to color? These will get you started:<br />

</ul>
<br />
Then head to the water. Sit and enjoy the sound of the waves. Float around on a boat. Start drawing and coloring, and drift...let there be nothing on your mind...<br />
