1920231621920. African American Military Service African American U.S. Navy photograph archive documenting naval service segregation training and enlisted social life from the interwar period through World War II with direct evidence of how Black sailors and Seabees moved through the Navy's expanding but racially divided wartime structure. The group centers on studio and snapshot portraits of Black servicemen in dress and work uniforms including several real photo postcards from the 1920s and a larger body of 1940s material tied to wartime service. A press photograph dated November 23 1942 anchors the archive within the Navy's 1942 expansion of Black enlistment into general service and the wartime organization of segregated Black Seabee battalions on the East Coast. Black men entered the Navy under long standing racial restrictions before broader wartime openings began in 1942 and Black Seabees remained largely segregated even as their labor and training became essential to amphibious and construction operations during the war.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 14 silver gelatin photographs including 4 real photo postcards and one press photo various sizes ranging from 10 x 8 inches two 2 x 3 inches United States circa 1925 to 1940s. The most historically explicit image is a large Acme Newspictures press photograph showing Black Seabees disembarking from landing craft marked "USN 702" rifles raised as they train in surf; the typed caption on the verso reads in part "NEGRO SEABEES TRAIN IN LANDING OPERATIONS" identifies them as members of an "all Negro battalion" and bears the date November 23 1942. Other photographs shift from formal military portraiture to daily life: a large studio portrait of a smiling young Black sailor in a flat cap lettered "U.S. NAVY"; three interwar real photo postcards showing Black sailors in neckerchief jumper uniforms and in peacoat with flat cap one inscribed at front "Kansas City Mo" and "Adolphe J. Bell"; a headshot portrait with a cursive signature on the verso read as "Joe Louis"; three young sailors in white enlisted uniforms and white caps; three sailors posed indoors in dark dress uniforms; a mixed social table scene with ten people sharing food and drink including three Asian women and seven Black sailors in uniform; a domestic interior with a woman holding a child beside a sailor holding bottles; a casual image of a sailor in a recreation room with ping pong table; an outdoor snapshot near barracks or temporary buildings with servicemen and a dog; and a small vernacular image of three men one shirtless in tropical or warm weather surroundings. One real photo postcard is inscribed "Just to remember a pal - Stanely" and addressed to Lloyd S. Miller 219 Lexington St. Covington Virginia. Navy uniform history supports the archive's span across prewar and wartime decades from the flat hat and peacoat combinations in the earlier portraits to the white "dixie cup" caps and wartime enlisted uniforms in the later snapshots.<br /> <br /> The archive places Black naval service in view across two linked periods: the constrained interwar Navy when Black sailors were sharply limited by race and the wartime Navy after April 1942 when the service broadened Black enlistment while preserving segregation across much of its structure. Formal self presentation in studio portraiture named personal exchange through inscription and mailing address interracial or cross cultural off duty sociability at table domestic visitation barracks life recreation and a news service image of East Coast landing operations training. The 1942 Seabee press photo connects the personal photographs to a larger wartime system in which Black sailors were admitted into expanded service categories yet still sorted into segregated units and labor formations a tension now central to institutional collecting on African American military history and the history of segregation within federal service. Light to moderate wear throughout including edge wear creasing toning small losses corner softening surface abrasions and scattered staining; several images with fading or silvering and the press photo with caption label and agency stamp on verso. Overall in good condition. A compact concrete record of Black naval life before and during World War II with one dated press image and multiple inscribed vernacular portraits grounding the archive in both military policy and personal experience. unknown

Uncut in later drab wrappers chipped and torn lower wrapper especially. Title leaf soiled with abrasion costing four letters in first line. Some old folds and minor soiling bottom corner of last leaf crumpled. First edition. A2 B-2B4. 4 190 2 ad pp. Errata leaf follows title page. 1 vols. 8vo. Courts Martial of Keppel & Palliser during the American Revolution. Written by Thomas Lewis O'Beirne 1748-1823 the Anglican divine whose first publication was the sermon he preached "An excellent sermon preached in St. Paul's Church New-York" NY 1776 as chaplin in Lord Howe's fleet at St. Paul's Chapel in New York after the disastrous fire in New York City of September 21 1776 probably set by Patriot arsonists. Upon his return to England in 1779 O'Beirne wrote a defense of Howe in "A Candid and Impartial Narrative of the Transactions of the Fleet ." L. 1779 and became more and more allied with the Whig party.<br/><br/>This is his defense of Admiral Keppel in the politically charged dispute with Sir Hugh Palliser and Lord Sandwich over their actions in the engagement with the French fleet off the coast of Brest in July 1778. Charges and counter-charges flew over that indecisive and costly encouter Kessel being accused "misconduct and neglect of duty" and of not having done enough to finish off the crippled French fleet. Indeed a claim was made at the time "that had the French been defeated at the time a diplomatic mission to America giving them the opportunity to abandon the French treaty would not have failed" DNB Palliser on the other hand was accused of neglecting to obey an order to come to the support of the rest of the fleet. The dispute ultimately resulted in court-martials of both men resulting in the acquittal of each although Palliser was censured and ruined while Keppel refused to serve under the current Ministry. <br/><br/>"The whole episode had severely weakened the standing of the Navy. Keppel asked not be sent to sea under the current Ministry and so the Admiralty retired him which led to a general resignation by his naval supporters depriving the Navy of many able officers in the continuing war against America." - DNB<br/><br/>The first edition of O'Beirne's account of the two court martials although well represented in institutions is rare on the market; and only one copy of the 2nd edition has appeared at auction over the last 30 years.

1945191881945. African American U.S. Navy sailors photographed during World War II document the service of Black enlisted men in the segregated naval forces of the United States during the global conflict of 1939-1945. Eleven photographs depict African American sailors in uniformsome of them have signed their names below their images including multiple images of recruit George Bailey Brooks stationed at Great Lakes Naval Training Station near Chicago one of the principal training centers for Black naval recruits during the war. The photographs record both formal studio portraits and candid scenes of naval life providing visual evidence of Black participation in the wartime Navy at a moment when most leadership and combat roles remained racially restricted despite the rapidly expanding wartime demand for manpower.<br /> <br /> Eleven silver gelatin photographs showing African American sailors in U.S. Navy uniforms during the World War II era. Photographs measure approximately 4 x 3.25 inches to 8 x 10 inches and include a mixture of studio portraits and informal service photographs. Four photographs depict sailor George Bailey Brooks at Great Lakes Naval Training Station including three portrait images and one image of Brooks standing upright in uniform holding a training rifle. One portrait bears the date Aug 4 1945. Five photographs remain mounted to fragments of tan album paper on the verso suggesting removal from an earlier family or personal album. Additional images show young sailors posed at attention with training rifles and one photograph depicts a mixed gathering of white and Black sailors aboard a ship watching a band performance featuring three Black musicians playing double bass piano and guitar.<br /> <br /> World War II transformed the scale of African American participation in the U.S. Navy although the service remained largely segregated in both training and assignment. Training installations such as Great Lakes Naval Training Station became major entry points for Black recruits and also hosted the first class of Black naval officers known as the "Golden Thirteen" commissioned in 1944 after training at the base. Most Black sailors during the war were initially assigned to steward or service roles though the demands of the Pacific War led to expanded participation in construction battalions logistics units and specialized technical assignments such as the Seabees. The photographs of Brooks and other sailors in uniform capture this transitional moment in naval history when African Americans were entering naval service in unprecedented numbers while still confronting institutional segregation that would remain in place until President Harry S. Truman ordered desegregation of the armed forces in 1948 through Executive Order 9981. Eleven photographs ranging in size from approximately 4 x 3.25 inches to 8 x 10 inches. Light handling wear and minor age toning typical of mid twentieth century photographs. Overall condition very good. unknown
