Document, Ephemera Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Photograph, "Mail Cadet", Deck Cadet Description An account of the resource <p>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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.</p> USMMA https://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/9/176/usmma-cm-musteringpo-1.JPG 9052a187ab010f4cc151440c56f86381 https://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/9/176/usmma-cm-musteringpo-2.JPG 3f966bac5a79fccd3f93fa8a2162d41d https://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/9/176/usmma-cm-musteringpo-3.JPG 648c889c9f4cce36dd7902b322bfe222 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Unknown, perhaps early 2000s. ex-David Linwood Geyer, USMMA '44. Obituary claims 1944, old Alumni Association newsletter states 1943, present 1944; not present in 1944 Midships.<br /><br />After Mr. Geyer graduated from USMMA, he went to work for United States Lines followed by Wm. Chelsea, Ltd. At the latter he designed neckties, gentlemen's scarves, and blazer badges; the company itself was a supplier of these items to private schools, colleges and universities, and clubs. These badges may have been of his design.<br /><br />These blazer badges may very well be one-offs and perhaps offered to alumni of the United States Merchant Marine Academy. Although the central device is that of the old United States Maritime Service cap badge, the crest is originally that of the United States Merchant Marine Cadet Corps - later the United States Merchant Marine Academy (and USMS).  The motto, "Acta Non Verba" (Latin: "Deeda not Words") is that of the Academy.<br /><br />One of the badges shows evidence that prong-attachments pierced the back. The threads are natural and synthetic along with gold bullion and silver-plated French wire.
