‎Archive of 53 Original Photographs c. 1921-1923 from Servicemen at Scapa Floe and the Honda Point Disaster--Biggest Peacetime Disaster in Navy History‎

‎53 original silver gelatin print photographs. c. 1921-1923. Mostly 3"x5" with a few 2"x"3 inches. Loose. Original vernacular photographs most likely taken by one or more servicemen in the U.S. Navy. While many of the photographs show battleships on exercises and fellow sailors on deck including some African American servicemen at least 9 bear firsthand witness to the infamous Honda Point disaster of the coast of Santa Barbara in 1923. More photographs from the group may be the ships involved before disaster struck. At least 4 additional photographs show the famous scuttling of German destroyers at Scapa Floe which occurred after peace was declared in 1921. <br/><br/>The Honda Point disaster was the largest peacetime loss of U.S. Navy ships. On the evening of September 8 1923 seven Clemson class destroyers while traveling at 20 knots 37 km/h ran aground at Honda Point a few miles from the northern side of the Santa Barbara Channel off Point Arguello on the coast in Santa Barbara County California. Two other ships grounded but were able to maneuver free off the rocks. Twenty-three sailors died in the disaster. Much study has been directed at determining the causes of such a terrible accident. Most likely the cause was a combination of heavy seas possibly caused by an earthquake in Japan darkness fog and the mistrust of the leadership on board the leading destroyer Delphy for the new radio navigation system preferring instead to use outdated estimation-based navigational methods. Although the Delphy immediately sounded her alarm after running aground the remainder of the squadrom was tragically traveling too close and one ship after another became entangled in the rocks. The photographs show from many views the various ships involved in the accident either listing heavily on rocks or sinking. Some of them can be identified as the U.S.S. S.P. Lee the Pervical the Nicholas the Woodbury the Chauncy and the leading ship Delphy. Most of the photos are taken very close by clearly from on board another ship perilously close to the disaster and most likely one of the fatal squadron. The final two appear to have been taken shortly after the sailor was rescued and show the wrecked vessels from the beach and from a rocky cliff overlooking the channel. <br/><br/>Four photos in the group record the incident at Scapa Floe on June 21 1919 where a German fleet of battleships was ordered by the Allies to report following the November Armistice ending World War I. They remained anchored for over 7 months and when word of the Peace Treaty of Versailles came in Admiral Reuter was ordered to surrender the vessels. However before they could be forced to comply the crew scuttled the vessels. We see in these photos the German Destroyers sinking including the S.M.S. Bayern and the S.M.S. Hindenburg with only smokestacks and tripod showing above the waterline. Another photo is labeled in the negative "German sailors leaving their doomed vessels for the last time. The remaining photographs in the group show submarines docked near San Francisco the Battleships Texas California and Florida sailors including a few African American aboard the U.S.S. Goff sailors carrying out routine exercises such as loading the deck gun launching torpedos maneuvering at speed and at least 6 photos of destroyers making heavy smoke which could be the Honda Point ships preceding the disaster. All photos are in very good condition with no previous sign of gluing or taping. Some are numbered and others have notes in white negative verso. A few are faded to sepia but most are still very dark and detailed. An important and historically relevant collection. unknown books‎

‎Civil War Naval Chronology 1861-1865 Part I--1861‎

‎Washington DC: Navy Department Office of the Chief of Naval Operations Naval History Division 1961. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. iv 41 3 pages counting covers. PART I ONLY. Wraps. Illustrated front cover. Illustrations. Maps. Covers somewhat worn and soiled. This is part of a 6 volume work. This was issued to coincide with the centennial of the Civil War. The Naval History and Heritage Command formerly the Naval Historical Center is an Echelon II command responsible for the preservation analysis and dissemination of U.S. naval history and heritage located at the historic Washington Navy Yard. The NHHC is composed of 42 facilities in 13 geographic locations including the Navy Department Library 10 museums and 1 heritage center USS Constitution repair facility and detachment and historic ship ex-USS Nautilus. The Naval History and Heritage Command traces its lineage to 1800 when President John Adams requested Benjamin Stoddert the first Secretary of the Navy prepare a catalog of professional books for use in the Secretary's office. When the British invaded Washington in 1814 this collection containing the finest works on naval history from America and abroad was rushed to safety outside the Federal City. Thereafter the library had many locations including a specially designed space in the State War and Navy Building now the Indian Treaty Room of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House. When the library was placed under the Bureau of Navigation in 1882 the director noted international lawyer and U.S. Naval Academy professor James R. Soley gathered the rare books scattered throughout Navy Department offices. The Union Navy was the United States Navy USN during the American Civil War when it fought the Confederate States Navy CSN. The term is sometimes used carelessly to include vessels of war used on the rivers of the interior while they were under the control of the United States Army also called the Union Army. The primary missions of the Union Navy were:<br/><br/>1. Maintain the blockade of Confederate ports by restraining all blockade runners; declared by President Lincoln on April 19 1861 and continued until the end of the Rebellion.<br/>2. Meet in combat the war vessels of the CSN.<br/>3. Carry the war to places in the seceded states that were inaccessible to the Union Army but could be reached by water.<br/>4. Support the Army by providing both gunfire support and rapid transport and communications on the rivers of the interior.<br/><br/><br/>To accomplish these the Union Navy had to undergo a profound transformation both technical and institutional. During the war sailing vessels were completely supplanted by ships propelled by steam for purposes of combat. Vessels of widely differing character were built from the keel up in response to peculiar problems they would encounter. Wooden hulls were at first protected by armor plating and soon were replaced by iron or steel throughout. Guns were reduced in number but increased in size and range; the reduction in number was partially compensated by mounting the guns in rotating turrets or by pivoting the gun on a curved deck track so they could be turned to fire in any direction. The institutional changes that were introduced during the war were equally significant. The Bureau of Steam Engineering was added to the bureau system testimony to the U.S. Navy's conversion from sail to steam. Most important from the standpoint of Army-Navy cooperation in joint operations the set of officer ranks was redefined so that each rank in the U.S. Army had its equivalent in the U.S. Navy. The establishment of the ranks of admirals implied also a change of naval doctrine from one favoring single-ship operations to that of employing whole fleets.
