Papers, 1867-1930.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50398692

This collection of papers relates to the naval service of Rear Admiral Francis Henry Delano, USN, whose naval career spanned the years from 1863 (when he entered the U.S. Naval Academy) until his retirement in 1905. The collection is comprised of biographical data, official orders, and miscellany. The official orders are very comprehensive and document his career from just after the Civil War through the early twentieth century. The orders are especially valuable in documenting North Atlantic Fleet operations in August 1898 when Delano was commanding Fish Hawk, one of the blockading ships.
