1970234111970. Offshore oil rig construction photo archive recording fabrication machining and dockside heavy-lift work at Farmers Marine Copper Works in Galveston Texas during the mature expansion of Gulf Coast petroleum engineering. After offshore drilling moved beyond shallow coastal waters Texas port cities became essential service centers for the fabrication of platforms pipe assemblies pressure systems and marine equipment needed by the oil and gas industry. These scenes place Galveston inside that industrial network through the labor machinery and waterfront facilities that made offshore production physically possible.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 50 Polaroid snapshot photographs measuring 3.5" x 4" standard instant print format Galveston Texas circa 1970s to 1980s. Workers in hard hats and shop clothing stand among yellow-painted pipe systems hydraulic lines large flanged fittings deck-mounted machinery and scaffolded cylindrical components. Several interiors show machine-shop work including a worker operating or adjusting equipment at a large industrial station marked "44" while other scenes move outside to the waterfront where cranes barges dock edges and fabrication sheds frame components being staged near the water. Additional views include a small white operator cab heavy hoses across the deck red scaffolding around a large round metal housing and a massive concrete or metal assembly positioned beside an indoor slip or basin.<br /> <br /> The archive records the practical environment behind offshore oil production: the shore-based construction repair and preparation that allowed rigs and marine petroleum equipment to operate. Galveston's port economy depended on this kind of specialized industrial work linking local metal shops and waterfront yards to Gulf energy development petrochemical expansion and marine engineering. Surface soiling abrasions emulsion wear and handling marks to many Polaroid borders; images generally legible with expected fading and industrial handling wear. Overall in good condition.

1931ABC_46004Greece Palestine Iran Iraq Egypt 1931. Oblong photograph album 20.5 x 32 cm. With 72 sepia photographs ca. 6 x 8.5 cm. Album of personal photographs commemorating a journey in 1931-1932 to the oilfields in modern Iran and Iraq by a trio of travellers which included the Reverend Philip "Tubby" Clayton 1885-1972 the founder of the Toc H movement. Several photographs show Galilee Jerusalem Rutbah Wells Ar-Rutbah and about 10 show "fields" mostly the main oilfield at Masjed Soleyman and its gas separator.In 1931 Clayton was invited by the director of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company the predecessor of the British Petroleum Company "to inspect the work among the Company units in Persia and the Middle East generally" Harcourt. Accompanied by two friends he travelled by plane train and boat to Lake Tiberias and further by plane to Rutbah Wells a British airfield where the group spent Christmas Eve with British Dutch and German travellers. On Christmas Day they reached Abadan and from there visited the oilfields near Tehran Ahvaz Haftkel Mohammerah Basra and Masjed Soleyman. After a journey to Cairo and Alexandria they boarded an oil tanker for the return journey to Britain. This journey inspired Clayton to plead passionately for improvements to the life of the crews of oil tankers. He described "carrying oil by sea" as "the most lonely job on the world's waters" Clayton. In 1940 he became chaplain of Anglo-Saxon Petroleum's tanker fleet and would subsequently sail on multiple tankers.The photographs must have been taken by Henry Pegg Chappell 1909-1997 since the other members appear he is the only member not present in the photographs and he does not and only Clayton who completed the journey by oil tanker. A carbon copy of a typed list describing all photographs is inserted in the album. Since typed and handwritten additions to the carbon paper refer to Clayton in the third person he probably typed the original list and gave Chappell this carbon copy to insert in his album.With an inscription probably by the three travellers on the title page. Binding slightly worn at the extremities. Paperclip and staple on the typescript rusted. In very good condition.l Clayton "In a tanker" in: The Times 9 March 1932 p. 15; Harcourt The impudent dreamer pp. 216-219. unknown

1948BB.23.032<em><strong>Silver prints 158; 3 x 5 and 7 x 9 inches; Some with identifying locations recto and others with photographer's hand stamp verso.</strong></em> This compelling photo album compiled between 1948 and 1957 offers a view into the rapid development of roadside infrastructure that took place in California during the transformative period of post-war prosperity.<br /><br />As California experienced a surge in car ownership and a growing reliance on automobiles for transportation the need for accessible and conveniently located gas stations became increasingly apparent. The album shows how Associated Oil Company by this time a subsidiary of Tidewater Oil owned by Getty strategically positioned their now-iconic "Flying A" gas stations to cater to the burgeoning market up and down the West Coast. This album presents prospective locations some depicted with realtors' advertising boards scenes of construction and improvements and views of recently completed service stations spanning from the Southern Bay Area to Los Angeles.<br /><br />The album is mostly un-captioned with just a few prints having notations on the rectos but many scenes are identifiable by the signage of local businesses and vehicles or the sharp and visible street-signs. Some identifiable locations include: San Jose Saratoga Los Gatos San Marino Canoga Avenue in Woodland Hills and Nordhoff & Terra Bella Streets in Los Angeles among numerous others.<br /><br />A fantastic album which captures the relationship between changing consumer needs swiftly-increasing land development and the iconic roadside gas stations that have become synonymous with California's roadside landscape.
