Ida Lewis: Mother of All Keepers

Here at The Mariners’ Museum and Park, Ida Lewis is no stranger. We’veblogged,Tweeted,written， 和演讲关于我们的女主人公，是石灰岩的光。但是，我们在博物馆的任务是关于海上联系的全部，因为我们都与水联系在一起。这就是为什么我选择艾达·刘易斯的原因。她的英雄主义行为仍在激发各个年龄段的妇女，并创造了现在以她的名字的遗产。在这些遗产中，有一个个人海事联系，还有一个与艾达（Ida）遗产有联系的年轻女子的故事。我想比她在所有能够“比纽波特的任何人更快地划船”的声誉的所有原因更进一步。您可能会说，我很高兴能与您分享这些故事，以便及时为女子的历史月份。

Mother’s Keeper

First, I’d be doing you and Ida herself a disservice if I didn’t give you a little background on our brave lightkeeper. Idawalley Zorada (sometimes spelled “Zoradia”) Lewis, the second oldest of four children and eldest daughter of Captain Hosea Lewis. Capt. Lewis became keeper of Lime Rock Light at Newport, Rhode Island, in 1854 when Ida was 12-years-old.Read more

Girl Power–1918 Style

Girl filing in plant. U.S. Naval Aircraft factory, Navy Yard, Phila., 1918. Mariners’ Museum Collection #P0005—U-PA0087

当美国海军在费城的海军飞机工厂需要在1918年初增加劳动力时，它开始训练和雇用妇女。根据William F. Trimble的说法Wings for the Navy: A History of the Naval Aircraft Factory, 1917-1956, the factory’s first female factory worker was Marion Elderton, already on staff as a secretary. That transition happened in December of 1917, and by June of 1918, the labor force included 218 women. One year later (Dec.1918), NAF female employment reached 890, which was 24.5% of the work force.

Yes-they were referred to as girls

Not to put too fine a point on it, I suspect that the writer of the captions on these photographs was male, perhaps referencing the novelty of the subject. Trimble’s use offemale和womenis fitting for 1990, the time of his publication. Not so in 1918, when women were still fighting for the right to vote.Read more

Not Your Average Joe

Marion Barbara “Joe” Carstairs

乔

Marion Barbara“ Joe” Carstairs将是第一个告诉您她“从来都不是小女孩”的人。乔（Joe）出生于1900年2月1日，在伦敦，是美国女继承人弗朗西斯·伊芙琳·博斯特威克（Frances Evelyn Bostwick）的第一个孩子（标准石油的创始伙伴贾比斯·博斯特威克（Jabez Bostwick）的第二个孩子）。她的法律父亲是皇家爱尔兰步枪的阿尔伯特·卡斯特楼（Albert Carstairs），或者至少我们认为。乔出生前一周，卡斯特尔船长在军队中重新列入了军队。此后不久，他和伊芙琳（Evelyn）离婚了，有些人暗示他可能不是乔的亲生父亲。

据传记作家凯特·萨默斯（Kate Summerscale）称，乔的母亲以她的中间名伊夫琳（Evelyn）凭借她的中间名伊夫琳（Evelyn）被“喂食”。她以一连串的恋人和丈夫而闻名。乔的最爱是罗杰·德·佩里尼伯爵（Count Roger dePérigny），他比父亲更像是一个好友。该伯爵与他的新继女分享了他的许多爱好，有些人比其他的有益健康。然而，最重要的是他对事情的热爱很快。实际上，德·佩里尼（DePérigny）修改了他的一名赛车，以便16岁的乔（Joe）可以驾驶它。毫不奇怪，伊芙琳和罗杰之间的关系并没有持续。Read more

Too many acronyms? There’s no such thing!

Over the past three years, our archival staff, with the support of several catalogers and the Digital Services department, have been working diligently on the Hidden Collections Grant sponsored by The Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). This grant allowed us to catalog and digitize items that have been sitting in storage for years. Through the process, we discovered many exciting images we never knew we possessed. One of my favorite collections was a series from the Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation (HRPE) during World War II.Read more

Posters, part 7

我们的第一张海报显然是第二次世界大战的海报，并鼓励人们记住珍珠港并加入海岸警卫队以帮助捍卫该国。该图像由查尔斯·罗斯纳（Charles Rosner）完成。第二海报与第一个海报几乎相同，而没有提到珍珠港。这两张海报都在弗吉尼亚州诺福克市的招聘办公室中使用，这可能是我们最终与之最终的方式。我想第三张海报是我的最爱之一，因为我通常不将太空旅行与海军相关联。1955年是一位不知名的艺术家。

“Pour it on” is a great poster from 1942 by artist Jarret Price. It was made by the United States War Production Board and it looks as though we might have received our copy from the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, which would make sense because we have received many posters from them. The second is another WWII poster and features a sad, but true, message about the inhabitants of Lidice, Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic). The third poster ca 1950’s/60’s encourages women to join the Navy and shows three different positions they can hold. It was done by artist Lou Nolan.
