http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/754109708

Scrapbook predominantly includes articles from the "Dogwatch" by Frank Kester, printed in the Oakland Tribune, Oakland, California. The column title is derived from the maritime term, "off watch" or off duty. Articles from several other newspapers, The New York Times, The San Francisco News, The New York Herald Tribune, etc. are also included in this scrapbook. Topics covered include lives of sailors off duty, New England clipper ships, sailing men of Marblehead, Massachusetts, and the Brown University model ship collection. One article from The New York Times covers the entry of the first Soviet ship, the Freighter Kim, into New York Harbor (arrived in 1934) since 1917.
