1917233411917. U.S. Navy photo archive documenting the Mexican Patrol mission of USS Rainier a Pacific Fleet auxiliary schoonerduring World War I. This archive documents U.S. naval personnel moved between shipboard duty shore stations and regional exploration in Mexican and California waters. Taken by Lieutenant junior grade Dr. Louis Henry Clerf the ship's medical officer these photographs place a named naval physician inside the working life of a little-documented auxiliary vessel assigned to Division 2 Pacific Fleet and the Mexican Patrol after the Navy acquired and commissioned the former civilian schooner in 1917. Rather than isolating military routine from observational practice the archive shows how officers aboard a small auxiliary ship simultaneously functioned as servicemen medical staff coastal travelers and recorders of local environments and natural science during a period of expanding American naval movement along the Pacific and Baja coastline.<br /> <br /> <br /> Photo archive of 41 silver gelatin photographs with many captions most measure 3.5" x 4.5" aboard USS Rainier and in Pacific coastal locations including San Diego and the Guaymas region circa 1917 to 1919. Several photographs focus on animals aboard ship including dogs kept by the crew birds fish catches and larger game animals associated with hunting and provisioning activities carried out during the patrol. Other images depict sailors handling fish and displaying catches beside the vessel revealing the practical realities of subsistence and food sourcing aboard a small auxiliary ship operating in relatively isolated Pacific waters. Together the photographs document the intersection of military hierarchy environmental encounter maritime labor and animal life aboard a World War I patrol. The images include repeated shipboard views of sailors and officers in white tropical uniforms and darker service dress posed singly and in groups on deck among rigging spars deck fittings railings and a mounted gun firmly establishing the operational setting aboard a naval auxiliary rather than a private voyage. Several photographs show relaxed mess scenes beneath awnings men seated at tables or gathered informally at sea while others picture uniformed personnel beside an automobile ashore and in front of a large urban hotel or institutional building. A large formal group portrait taken before an ornate Spanish colonial church further extends the coastal location. One verso identifies "Duck shooting at Ensenada de Francisco Bay about 20 miles north of Guaymas" while another reads "Hospital. Navy Training camp San Diego" linking the group to both field excursion and medical infrastructure. The captions combined with views of harbor craft shore architecture and regional movement show the same photographic hand operating across military environmental and natural science subjects. There are also many photos of the fishes and animals of the Baha region with captions.<br /> <br /> <br /> USS Rainier built in Portland in 1917 as the civilian schooner Patrol and later renamed Angel entered Navy service as a Pacific auxiliary during World War I. Commissioned at Mare Island on July 30 1917 and assigned to Division 2 Pacific Fleet she served on the Mexican Patrol off Southern California and Baja California placing this archive within the history of continued U.S. naval surveillance and mobility in Mexican waters during World War I rather than in a purely European war frame. The archive is attributable to a trained Navy physician who later went on to a long and prominent civilian medical career Dr. Louis Henry Clerf of Washington state. this archive preserve the operational world of a Navy auxiliary schooner where smaller patrol and support vessels were essential to maritime presence but far less frequently documented than battleships or major transports. Clerf's position as medical officer gives the archive unusual coherence since the photographs join shipboard hierarchy working naval space coastal circulation and natural-history attention within one attributable officer's record of service during the final years of World War I and the Mexican Patrol. Dr. Cliff also seem to have a deep interest in natural sciences and has included many photographs of the fish and animals that could be found at the time in the Baha region. Light surface wear scattered fading and minor edge or corner wear; captions present on some versos with images generally clean and legible. The archive offers an identified record of Mexican Patrol service aboard USS Rainier and of the broader naval presence that connected California Baja California and the Gulf of California during the final years of World War I. unknown

1944NL-02478<p><strong>Large-format 1944 U.S. Navy "NavWar" training map of the North Sea celebrating Allied victory over the German U-boat threat.</strong></p><p>This is a scarce very large-format 1944 map of the North Sea prepared by the U.S. Navy's Educational Service Section.</p><p>The stunning visuals executed in offset lithography are reminiscent of propaganda materials intended for public consumption but these were in fact prepared to train and educate Naval personnel on the conflict. The map traces the history of naval warfare in the North Atlantic and North Sea up to that point and celebrates Allied successes with the tide clearly having turned in their favor.</p><p>Perhaps the most striking feature of the map is the large arrow occupied by Allied shipping convoys titled 'Our Navy Breaks the U-Boat Scourge on the Allies' Supply Lines with Destroyers Destroyer Escorts and Escort Carriers.' Similar blue bands emanate from southern England towards the Continent with the label 'The R.A.F. And The A.A.F. Control The Industrial Heart Of Europe From England the World's Most Powerful Air Base.' Throughout German ships are depicted as sinking and burning while German industrial areas and key occupied strongholds are bombed relentlessly from the air. A timeline and legend at right provide further background information on the conflict and the map.</p><p><strong>Context is Everything</strong></p><p>During the Second World War the North Sea was a critical arena of naval operations serving as a strategic chokepoint for controlling maritime routes and access to the Atlantic. As in the First World War the Royal Navy maintained a constant patrol presence to enforce blockades against Germany restricting access to vital raw materials and trade. The North Sea's shallow waters and unpredictable weather made it a difficult environment for large-scale fleet engagements but it was heavily mined – one of the most extensively mined seas in history. Mines submarines and fast attack craft rather than battleships defined its warfare creating a deadly environment for both military and merchant shipping.</p><p>German naval operations in the North Sea centered on disrupting British trade and supply lines while protecting their own coastal traffic. The Kriegsmarine used U-boats E-boats <em>Schnellboote</em> 'fast boats' and aircraft to harass Allied convoys while the British developed extensive anti-submarine and radar networks to counter them. Air power especially from bases in eastern England and occupied Norway increasingly shaped the conflict turning the North Sea into an air-sea battlefield. Germany's limited fleet of battleships had by this point been sunk as with the <em>Bismarck</em> seen ablaze at left heavily damaged or forced to stay in port to prevent their loss as with the <em>Tirpitz</em> sunk later in 1944 and <em>Prinz Eugen</em> both stationed in Norway. The Allies' control of the North Sea by 1944 proved essential for the success of the D-Day invasion allowing the safe buildup of forces in Britain and denying Germany the ability to strike effectively from the sea. By war's end the North Sea had become a heavily fortified and scarred maritime zone symbolizing the constant struggle for maritime supremacy that underpinned the wider European conflict.</p><p><strong>Census</strong></p><p>This map was produced by the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Naval Personnel printed by the Government Printing Office and distributed by the Navy's Educational Service Section in 1944. It is one of six 'NavWar Maps' all of which are quite scarce now and generally in poor condition due to being folded for many years. The present map is independently cataloged among the holdings of perhaps fifteen institutions in the OCLC and appears occasionally on the market. Some institutions also hold all six maps in the series and catalog them together OCLC 53073135. For reasons that are unclear some examples of NavWar Maps are printed as double-sided while others are only printed on one side.</p><p>Condition Description</p><p>Very good. Fold creases as issued originally faint discoloration at corners from old tape reinforcing pinholes minor shelfwear slight scuffing couple minor tears</p> Educational Service Section / U.S. Navy
