                <text>&lt;p&gt;Ca. 1930s-1940s. With the rename of the New York State Nautical School to the New York Merchant Marine Academy in 1929, all insignia for NYSNS also had their designs changed. On patches, instead of the unwieldy, New York Merchant Marine Academy, the anacronym MMA was used. In later years, this has caused confusion among insignia collectors as MMA is also an anachronym for Massachusetts Maritime Academy and Maine Maritime Academy. The two patches are for senior and junior section leaders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Senior section leader (three chevrons) - viewer's right-facing eagle - is circa pre-July 1941.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Junior section leader (two chevrons) - viewer's left-facing eagle - is circa post-July 1941.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

Construction is wicker frame with grey leather sweatband; cap badge is unmarked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(?) Despite cap being unnamed, provenance determined by the fact the cap is associated with a wallet with the inscription, "A. G. Smith Dec 8, 1862." Among AML masters, Captain J. S. Smith was the only "Smith" in the fleet.  The cap came from an estate in Seattle - where Captain Smith retired.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>Ca. 1970s-1980s. ex-Captain Charles M. Renick. Cap frame is circa 1970s or 1980s; photographic evidence shows cap worn in 1984. Cap badge is circa 1960s. The business card in the cap is at least from July-August 1989, when Captain Renick assumed the post of Deputy Chief of Staff at the United States Merchant Marine Academy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Captain Renick is a significant figure in the preservation of the cultural history of the American Merchant Marine.  While Director of Alumni and External Affairs at the United States Merchant Marine Academy, he was the prime mover for the creation of the American Merchant Marine Museum at Kings Point. This museum acts as both a reliquary for the Academy and a showcase of national maritime memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Captain Renick wore this cap in the last half of his career at the Academy and at the time of the museum's inauguration.</text>

                <text>&lt;div&gt;ca. 1940s-1970s.  ex-Jøte Wiklund of Sigerfjord, Norway .  I do not know what 8410 on the reverse of the photograph may indicate; it may be an old post code.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;In the summer of 1996 I moved into a mostly-furnished apartment at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;95 Governor Street in Providence, Rhode Island.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;  This is a photograph found in a dresser drawer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The apartment was on the ground floor of a grand, old house. Altogether, the apartment comprised of three conjoined rooms, each with a built-in wardrobe; it looked to have at once been a parlor and an entry-way to a rear staircase - the later had a wall blocking off a portion; I used some exposed steps as a bookcase. The plasterwork on the ceiling at one time must have been impressive, but a drop-ceiling both hid it and protected me from falling chunks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The house, as the owner told me, was once at the bottom of the hill and was brought to its current location at the intersection of Governor and Power decades ago. Ancient jacks still held up portions where the frame sagged. At one point, the house was a seaman’s boarding house - which explained how my apartment was divided.  All the furniture in the apartment was leftover from that time - except a bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This well-worn photograph is undoubtedly that of a merchant seaman - if he was a resident of my old apartment or a friend of an old resident, I may never know. It is my memento of that old house.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;ca. 1930s. If a ship were under contact to carry "mails" for the United States Government, the vessel was required to carry two cadets: one in the Deck Department, and another in the Engineering Department. Due to the connection with mail, the cadets came to be called "Mail Cadets."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This cap badge was worn by such a cadet. I am unsure if Deck and Engineering cadets wore different cap badges.  A lapel medallion or dog from the 1940s is shown for comparative purposes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have the orientation of the badge with one blade pointing upward.  A photograph of a mail cadet shows two pointing upward; however, lapel medallions from the 1940s only have one blade pointing upward.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;ca. 1920s. Prior to the institution of the United States Merchant Marine Cadet Corps in 1938, the Federal government-sponsored cadets to work aboard federally-subsidized vessels. This is a rare photograph of a cadet from this period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some interesting uniform items of note. Although the U.S. Navy adopted the double-breasted blazer or reefer in 1919, cadets continued to wear the service coat that first appeared in the fleet in 1877 as late as 1923. The 1877 coat was single-breasted and tight-fitted with a fly front and standing collar.  The cap is of the distinct "complete cap" style; the U.S. Navy and merchant fleet as a whole began wearing this style of cap around 1922, having abandoned the kepi-like "Bell Crown" style of cap. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cap badge detailed in the photograph is an amazing detail - its wear continues to this day, albeit as medallions on present United States Merchant Marine Academy midshipman lapels.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
