                  <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>

She was built to the order of Messrs. W. E. Clouston and Co. at Forster, New South Wales by the shipbuilder Henry Miles. She was launched on July 4, 1905 and christened by Miles’ wife, Annie. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blenheim&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; was a shallow draught wooden steamer of 130 tons and was fitted as a passenger and cargo boat.  On the 8th July 8, 1905, she was towed by the steamer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tuncurry&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; to Sydney, Australia for fitting of engines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Details:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Official No: 121107&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Length: 109.0 ft&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Breadth: 23.5 ft&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Depth 6.7 ft&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Tonnage: Gross: 150.58; Net: 85.04&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Construction: wood&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Engines: surface condensing engines, with cylinders of 13in and 26in, with a stroke of 18in; fitted by Begg and Greig.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Boiler: 1201b pressure to the square inch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Accommodation: 24 passengers (including eight ladies)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;From 1905 to 1907 she operated from the Ōpaoa (formerly Opawa) River, Blenheim, New Zealand for the Wellington-based Marlborough Steamship Co. At Blenheim, she was managed by W.E. Clouston and operated from their wharf.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;In 1907 she was attached to the Wairau Steamship Company Ltd. (a subsidiary Union Steamship Company of New Zealand) and continued operating between Blenheim and Wellington, New Zealand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;On July 1, 1917 The Wairau Steamship Co. was taken over by P &amp;amp; O and, in 1919, Blenheim was re-measured; her tonnage changed:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Gross: 153 ; Net: 87&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arawua&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;In 1924, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blenheim&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; was sold to the Fisheries Ltd, Wellington and renamed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Awarua&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tamatea&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;In 1928, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Awarua&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; was purchased by Captain R. J. Hamilton of Bluff (near Invercargill, New Zealand) and renamed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tamatea&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;. Around this time she was converted from a steamer to diesel power around this time. The MV &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tamatea&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; operated the regular ferry service between Bluff and Stewart Island from 1930 to 1942. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;MV &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tamatea&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; was requisitioned by the United States Army in 1943 and converted into a motor ship. After less than two years of operation, she was returned to the New Zealand Government in 1945 and sold back to Captain Hamilton for further service. After conversion to a 500 BHP diesel engine she was remeasured as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Gross: 179.94 ; Net: 69.29&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;At this point, she was registered in Auckland (January 946) to Master, Robert James Hamilton.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;In 1950 she was sold and registered to Port Vila (New Hebrides) interests (April 1950). She ran aground in the harbor at Port Vila and the hulk passed to French owners and dismantled - sometime prior to July 25, 1961 when she was stricken.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Adapted from: Great Lakes Manning River Shipping &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/glmrsnsw/16933215347"&gt;https://www.flickr.com/photos/glmrsnsw/16933215347&lt;/a&gt;</text>

                <text>"Lynne Baggette, Warner Bro[ther]s featured played in 'Pillow to Post,' was selected by the editors of Maritime Murmurs, Merchant Marine publication at Catalina Island as 'Miss Maritime [Day].' She will review 4000 trainees at the island training base today (Saturday) and on Tuesday will participate in the celebration of National Maritime Day in Los Angeles."&#13;
&#13;
The cited National Maritime Day celebration took place on Tuesday, May 22, 1945.  This photograph is one of a set taken at Catalina Island by Walter Sanders of LIFE magazine.  Other training stations had models and starlets chosen as their version of “Miss Maritime”; e.g.: in February 1945, Lauren Bacall was dubbed “Miss Maritime Girl” by the public relations branch of the U.S. Maritime Service.&#13;
&#13;
This publicity photograph is of interest since other "Miss Maritime Day" received scant attention by the national press. The United States Maritime Service Training Station, Avalon, Catalina Island happened to be near Los Angeles and Hollywood; hence the photographs done by a noted LIFE photographer and attendant publicity.&#13;
&#13;
"Lynne Baggette" was the stage name of Ruth "Lynn" Baggett - a starlet known for her tumultuous personal life.</text>

&#13;
This badge was produced by badge manufacturer, F. G. Glover Company of New York. This company made badges and insignia for New York-related organizations, such as the New York City Police Department, Pinkertons, and New York City Railroad.  This badge is made of nickel.&#13;
&#13;
The eagle is of curious design; in its beak it holds a length of scroll.  Most badges have the eagle's beak in an open or screeching aspect.</text>

This variation of the Vanguard cap badge follows the woven badge carefully - it employs a smooth grommet with beaded borders (recalling cables)  to secure the laurels.</text>
