2 A Guide to the Gordon Riehl photograph collection P78-132a San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, National Park Service 2013, National Park Service Title: Gordon Riehl photograph collection Date: circa Date (bulk): circa Identifier/Call Number: P78-132a (SAFR 23382) Compiler: Riehl, Gordon Physical Description: 823 items. Repository: San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, Historic Documents Department Building E, Fort Mason San Francisco, CA Abstract: The Gordon Riehl, bulk circa , (SAFR 23382, P78-132a), is comprised mainly of photographs of sailing vessels in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The collection has been processed to the Item level and is open for use. Physical Location: San Francisco Maritime NHP, Historic Documents Department Language(s): In English. Access This collection is open for use unless otherwise noted. Nitrate negatives are restricted from use. Use-copies can be provided. Publication and Use Rights Some material may be copyrighted or restricted. It is the researcher's obligation to determine and satisfy copyright or other case restrictions when publishing or otherwise distributing materials found in the collections. Processing Note Each photographic image has been assigned an Item number; there are often multiple physical forms of each image (e.g. a nitrate negative, a contact interpositive and a copy negative) which has been noted in the physical description field. Information about numeric stamps on the back of the photographs has been included in the physical description notes, because in the early 20th century the stamp often signified the customer number. This might help to identify which photographs came from particular people. According to the accession paperwork, the collection originally contained 291 nitrate negatives. In September 1980, 35 nitrate negatives were withdrawn due to their poor condition. An additional nitrate negative (Item 121) was marked for disposal in February 1988; however, this negative was located in the Nitrate Discard Box in August 2013, and the decision was made to retain the Item in the collection and re-file it in the regular nitrate storage. It is possible that additional negatives were discarded but not noted on the original paperwork. At the time of processing in August 2013, only 252 nitrate negatives were located. The accession paperwork also notes that contact interpositives and copy negatives were made for Items ; ; and During processing in 2013, contact interpositives and copy negatives were found for Items Finally, the accession paperwork notes that there are 47 photographic prints, but 65 were found during processing. Description Notes: Dates refer to when the original photograph was taken. The descriptions in this collection guide were compiled using the best available sources of information.

A majority of the photographs show vessels prior to the United States' entrance into World War II in December The U.S. government acquired many sailing vessels for use in the war effort, often reducing their rigging to serve as barges, although this was not the fate of all the vessels in this collection. Some locations have been identified as California (Alameda, Oakland, San Diego, San Francisco, and San Pedro), Oregon (Astoria and Portland), Washington (Seattle and Winslow), and the East Coast (Baltimore, Maryland; Chesapeake Bay; Long Island Sound; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Many locations are unidentified. Collection Arrangement The collection is physically arranged and accessed in Item number order, which reflects a numbering scheme imposed by previous SFMNHP staff. The collection's original order is unknown. To provide greater context and reunite similar images, the collection has been intellectually arranged and described into one Series which is arranged alphabetically by vessel name into 34 File Units.
