                  <text>These artifacts came from the estate of Captain Elmer J. Stull. He saved precious little from the Second World War - but what he did save are representative of the trials he endured as a wartime ship's master. The federal government recognized both his and his ship’s crew’s heroism by the award of the Merchant Marine Distinguished Service Medal and the Gallant Ship Citation bar, respectively.  This recognition was from his time on the SS Samuel Parker.  The ship was laid down and launched at Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation in Portland on 14 October 1942 and 7 November 1942, respectively; Captain Stull was the first master of SS Samuel Parker from 3 November 1942 until 8 December 1943.&#13;
&#13;
Among the artifacts presented in this collection are mementos of the attacks on Tunisia Captain Stull collected while the SS Samuel Parker was anchored off Tunisia. He tied a description of each with a length of jute rope on a Maritime Ships Material Tag. These tags are of interest as they positively identify the ship - SS Samuel Parker - which was Maritime Commission Hull Number 593.&#13;
&#13;
Another particularly significant item is the device he used to find his way through treacherous seas: a universal bearing finder. This tool helped guide him on his voyages around the world - it is preserved in a specially-constructed wood box with his stamp.&#13;
&#13;
Also included among the collection are a merchant seaman identification pin, a union badge, and a Congressional Lifesaving medal in silver.</text>

                  <text>These artifacts came from the estate of Captain Elmer J. Stull. He saved precious little from the Second World War - but what he did save are representative of the trials he endured as a wartime ship's master. The federal government recognized both his and his ship’s crew’s heroism by the award of the Merchant Marine Distinguished Service Medal and the Gallant Ship Citation bar, respectively.  This recognition was from his time on the SS Samuel Parker.  The ship was laid down and launched at Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation in Portland on 14 October 1942 and 7 November 1942, respectively; Captain Stull was the first master of SS Samuel Parker from 3 November 1942 until 8 December 1943.&#13;
&#13;
Among the artifacts presented in this collection are mementos of the attacks on Tunisia Captain Stull collected while the SS Samuel Parker was anchored off Tunisia. He tied a description of each with a length of jute rope on a Maritime Ships Material Tag. These tags are of interest as they positively identify the ship - SS Samuel Parker - which was Maritime Commission Hull Number 593.&#13;
&#13;
Another particularly significant item is the device he used to find his way through treacherous seas: a universal bearing finder. This tool helped guide him on his voyages around the world - it is preserved in a specially-constructed wood box with his stamp.&#13;
&#13;
Also included among the collection are a merchant seaman identification pin, a union badge, and a Congressional Lifesaving medal in silver.</text>

                  <text>These artifacts came from the estate of Captain Elmer J. Stull. He saved precious little from the Second World War - but what he did save are representative of the trials he endured as a wartime ship's master. The federal government recognized both his and his ship’s crew’s heroism by the award of the Merchant Marine Distinguished Service Medal and the Gallant Ship Citation bar, respectively.  This recognition was from his time on the SS Samuel Parker.  The ship was laid down and launched at Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation in Portland on 14 October 1942 and 7 November 1942, respectively; Captain Stull was the first master of SS Samuel Parker from 3 November 1942 until 8 December 1943.&#13;
&#13;
Among the artifacts presented in this collection are mementos of the attacks on Tunisia Captain Stull collected while the SS Samuel Parker was anchored off Tunisia. He tied a description of each with a length of jute rope on a Maritime Ships Material Tag. These tags are of interest as they positively identify the ship - SS Samuel Parker - which was Maritime Commission Hull Number 593.&#13;
&#13;
Another particularly significant item is the device he used to find his way through treacherous seas: a universal bearing finder. This tool helped guide him on his voyages around the world - it is preserved in a specially-constructed wood box with his stamp.&#13;
&#13;
Also included among the collection are a merchant seaman identification pin, a union badge, and a Congressional Lifesaving medal in silver.</text>
