[Vietnam War – Marine Corps – East Asia] Unknown Photographer
Photo Album of a US Marine in Okinawa Taiwan and Korea c. 1950s–1960s with a Series Likely Documenting the Land and Crop Projects of the Sino-American Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction in Taiwan
Japan Taiwan Korea and the US 1960. 15 ¼ x 11 inch album with attractive painted cover containing approximately 235 photos mainly 3 ½ x 5 inches and smaller. Contents generally in excellent condition. Excellent. A photo album by an unknown US Marine containing photos from his time in Okinawa Taiwan and Korea in the 1950s and 1960s. At the time—the earliest dated photo in the album is from April 1956—the Vietnam War was in its early days with Eisenhower deploying MAAG to train the ARVN in late 1955. It is not clear what unit the photographer was with as only his training platoon 46 of the Second Recruit Battalion on Parris Island is identified; however this photo’s caption includes “Photo by MAAGâ€.<br /> <br /> The album appears to be divided between the three locations each of which was strategic in the Cold War broadly and for American efforts in Vietnam in particular. It is highlighted by a series of photographs apparently from Taiwan showing agricultural workers planting and posing with their crops and children. In the 1950s under the China Aid Act the Sino-American Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction JCRR had launched a land reform financed by American aid and staffed by ROC scientists. In the 1960s this program expanded to crop diversification and the creation of the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center. These efforts towards agricultural development in Taiwan were like other US efforts in the region intended to contain the spread of Communism.1<br /> <br /> Other photos from Taiwan include shots of the ships; men outside their tents vehicles and straw huts smoking and playing cards; some are city streets but most are of the countryside. Several notable photos show the Marines playing at being POWs: in one a man poses with his hands on his head next to a sign reading “POW AND CAPTURED / EQUIPMENT COMPOUND†and in another one soldier pretends to march his fellow at gunpoint.<br /> <br /> Photos from Okinawa show military vehicles city streets and American and Japanese men—many Okinawans were employed by the US military during its occupation. Many scenes appear to show construction efforts with USMC-marked bulldozers and tractors driving around fields of dirt and rock in the countryside with a few of these showing Okinawa residents as well.<br /> <br /> South Korea also played an active role in the Vietnam War. Photos from Korea show tanks and other vehicles along the coast and being loaded into ships American soldiers driving and posing in the countryside and several of village streets and residents.<br /> <br /> Other subjects include target shooting transit on a ship captioned “WESTWARD HO / FAR EAST BOUND†and some that appear to be family and scenery shots in the US dated April 1961.<br /> <br /> Overall the album provides a look not just at the activities of the Marine Corps in the early US advisory era of the Vietnam War but also the people and places of the US’s strategic activities in East Asia. Of interest to historians of the Vietnam War Cold War and US empire.<br /> <br /> 1 Leo Chu “‘A bloodless social revolution’: Land reform and multiple cropping in Cold War Taiwan 1950–1979†The history of crop science and the future of food 6 no. 5 September 2024 1104–1110. unknown

Havre de Grace. American Naval officer's widow boarding house invitation
Havre France: H. Bret Rue de Paris 86 1840. Very good condition. The widow of Captain Latham's printed invitation to "American Officers" stationed in this French port town for the boarding house which she has just opened. Mrs. Latham's new venture is located at No. 44 Rue de Dauphine "where every essential comfort will be provided. Their patronage is most respectfully solicited". <br /> <br /> The officer seems to be Rev. George Latham a US Naval officer who died in January 1847 aged about 40. He is buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery in Norfolk Virginia. According to U.S. Officers of the Continental and U.S. Navy and Marine Corps 1775-1900 he was a chaplain. His wife was Lucy Taylor Mauzy. It is not clear that she ever had ever been in France but through the Ancestry website she is listed as a widow in Virginia in 1850 and 1860. There is no evidence that her husband had any connection to Paris or even that he was involved in any conflict. She could have left the country after the Civil War as her last children would have been grown. Reference provided on request.<br /> <br /> The printer at Havre was H. Bret who obtained 18 March 1839 a license to lithograph printing and was installed at a modest studio at no. 86 rue de la rue de Paris. He printed drawings and caricatures in satirical journals notably in the Courrier d'Ingouville d'Autin. He worked until 1870.<br /> <br /> 5 1/2 x 8 1/4" lithograph printed on one side. H.

[World War I]; [Navy]; [Prayer Books]; [Hymnals]; [Military]
A Prayer Book for the Public and Private Use of our Soldiers and Sailors; With Bible Readings and Hymns
Philadelphia: Bishop White Prayer Book Society 1917. Hardcover. Near Very Good. 16mo. 29 cm x 21 cm. 2 3-192 pp. Blue publisher's cloth with a red border on each board red lettering on the front board flexible boards. There is a pocket on the rear board but nothing is in the pocket. Immediately after the title page the book states the motives and objects of the First World war: "We are glad to fight for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples the German peoples included; for the rights of nations great and small and the privilege of men everywhere to choose their way of life and obedience . ". It is an excerpt from President Wilson's statement on the United States entering the First World War. An inscription on the free front endpaper reads: "Willis Winfried/Winfreed 506 S. Neil The next line is illegible Illinois 1917 - U.S.A. Great Lakes Illinois". The owner of this prayer book was either trembling while writing his inscription or his ink was exposed to moisture though the paper itself has no dampstain. This book clearly traveled with the naval recruit to Great Lakes the naval training station just north of Chicago. Although we cannot identify exactly who the owner was the item is significant as it is a record of what kind of item was important enough to a Navyman to transport to a war zone based on the book's significant wear and use we believe it traveled to the European theatre after the recruit completed his training at Great Lakes. Significant rubbing to the cloth rear gutter is cracked but the binding is holding. Bishop White Prayer Book Society hardcover

Collection of 9 Neptune Crawl Photographs
np 1945. Very good . Small photograph collection of a Crossing the Line ceremony aboard an unnamed WWII-era US naval ship. A long-established naval tradition dating back at least until the 19th century such "Sons of Neptune" proceedings initiate sailors "Pollywogs" after their first crossing of the equator by their more seasoned shipmates "Shellbacks". Though these ceremonial hazings could be brutal the one here portrayed seems rather tame with most participants seen smiling and initiates confined to activities like scrubbing the deck. One image does picture a "Neptune Crawl" however where Pollywogs crawl along the deck and are "paddled." Collection of 9 loose approximately 6" x 4" black and white photographs one duplicate. Ink stamp of Universal Photo Service of Lacrosse Wisconsin to rear of each. Print edges slightly curled few with corner creases. Overall very good. unknown

File folder containing over 50 offprint clippings for sail plans newspaper clippings 4 TLS & ALS 2 on letterhead 1 5 x 7 in. photo of Mabry and more. These extraordinary sail plans designs specifications and clippings trace the career arc of a marine architect career with some of the most significant yacht and ship designers in New York and Boston and Southern California. Mabry 1882-1949 launched his career with the storied Gardner & Cox Naval Architects of New York later William Gardner as chief draftsman and later inspector for the firm. He was responsible for designing the earliest version of the Star Class keelboat which produced a large chunk of the top U.S. sailors for years and served as pipeline for training America’s Cup Racers as one of the older one-design classes. His initial design made its regatta debut on Long Island in the Spring of 1907 which was then adapted by storied designer Francis Sweisguth who adapted the size of the hull and sail plan. This archive includes the blueprint Hull Body Plan Lines and Sail Plan for the Cyric a Class “S†32 foot sloop built for Eldon H. Trimingham which raced for the LIpton Cup on Gravesend Bay and later carried the Trimingham colours until the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club brought in a fleet of seven one-design sloops in 1925. It later raced in the 1930 International Yacht Races. Also included are the Block List Body Plan and Lines for Hull No. 254 by Gardner which was a 46 foot Class “S†finished in 1912 originally for Seward Prosser who also owned the yacht Constance. Of additional significance are the Hull Plans and Specifications for the Larchmont “O†Class sloops built in 1917 with six sister ships -- Georgia Varuna Nimbus Grey Dawn Maisie and Betty with all except for the Varuna fitted with Gaff rigs. The Varuna fitted with a groundbreaking Marconi Rig proved to be the fastest design at the close of World War I. The tragic Sea Call one of yachting’s greatest schooners as well as one of its greatest lost opportunities is well represented here including the Main Mast Head Mizzen Mast Head Sail Plan designs together with the typescript Block List. In the design Gardner specified a combination of vanadium steel and monel metal which resulted in violent electrolysis and within three weeks of her first sea trial the decision was made to scrap her. She was designed to hold 10-12 guests with a private owner’s deckhouse. During World War I subsequent to working on the Larchmont “O†Class for Gardner Mabry contracted with J.F. Duthne & Co. in Seattle as chief draftsman and after the War set up in Los Angeles as a Naval Architect. While working for the Los Angeles Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. he drafted the designs and plans for the Steamers “Yale†& “Harvard†which had originally served as coastal steamers for the Admiral Line with the Pacific Steamship Co. and taken into Government Service during World War I and then purchased and rebuilt by Harry & Ralph Chandler forming the LS Steamship Co. and operating subsequently as popular steamships on the Pacific Coast. SS Yale was later scrapped in 1949. Included with this archive is a manuscript Hull Design signed by Mabry. In 1925 he also designs the plan for a Los Angeles Fireboat with manuscript plan and Mabry’s signature included here dated June 13 1925. He then contracts with the famed yacht designer John G. Alden in Boston. Specifications for No. 274 the Waterline Auxiliary Ketch “Danai†which was designed and built in 1926 built by Kenneth McAlpine of Shelbourne N.S. Canada and was later renamed Wawa Valdora Nira and Polaris. Of significance is the specifications for Hull No. 435 “Puritan†designed by Mabry and commissioned by Edward Brown and built as a 126 foot gaff-rigged schooner. The Yacht still serves as a charter vessel with the Classic Yacht Experience after extended refit in 2015. Sometime between 1929 and 1930 Mabry partners with noted Southern California Naval Architect William Lambie and their partnership would last about two years. The pair would design many power yacht designs including a fast 88 foot cruiser a 55 foot schooner a cruiser for N. Paul Whittier of Hollywood CA and 110 foot steel auxiliary schooner for H. Wilhelm Rohl who also owned at the time the famed Te Vega yacht. They may be best remembered for designing the glass bottomed “Phoenix†the popular sightseeing side-wheeler paddle boat for tourists sightseeing over the undersea gardens of Santa Catalina Island. Lambie 1886-1963 was a Scottish-American Southern California naval architect who had worked with Southwestern Shipbuilding then with the Seacraft Corporation and well known as the designer of the popular Lambie propellers whose efficiency was first recognized when installed on the SS Catalina. The letters included in this archive reflect the impact of the Great Depression and the Stock Market Crash on shipbuilding with the owner of the Philadelphia based Tunnel & Mine Machinery Co. lamenting that “It has been pretty stringent this year but some of my things are showing signs of coming back . . . which may enable me to complete Sapphire Seas.†While the letter sent by Lambie to W.F. McMahon in Riverside California explaining how he unwittingly may have offended Mabry his former partner as well as Mr. McMahon over the proposed design and build of a yacht in 1932. Mabry would remain in Los Angeles until the mid-1930s before moving again to the East Coast to work for the Cramp Shipbuilding Co. in Philadelphia and then later the EB Company in New London CT.
