Papers, 1879-1921.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49908242

This collection consists largely of the journals kept by Captain Frank M. Bennett during his naval service. The journal is made up of 24 volumes, dating from 1879-1921. They are all hand-written in ink, and many have hand-drawn diagrams and maps, some in color. The journals also contain many tipped-in and laid-in items, often newspaper clippings, photographs, and illustrations. Loose items inserted into the journals have been removed to separate folders for preservation purposes. The location of each item has been noted to maintain context information. These folders follow the journal volume from which the items were removed. The final box of the collection contains a scrapbook kept by Bennett's wife, Dorothy. The scrapbook contains over 1,800 black and white photographs of the Bennett family and people and events related to Captain Bennett's naval career.
