Biographical / Historical

The Historic American Merchant Marine Survey (HAMMS) was one of six projects created by the WorksProgress Administration (WPA) to provide work for unemployed skilled or "white collar" workers. These


Page 2 of 34

projects were intended to provide work which was both useful and appropriate to the skills and experienceof workers who were not suited for more traditional work programs involving manual or outdoor labor.The specific goal of HAMMS was to undertake a national survey of watercraft, in order to document thedesign and technical evolution of vessel types significant in America's commercial maritime history. Thiswas to be accomplished by making measured drawings of existing vessels, ship models, and builders'half models; by making a photographic record of significant vessels; and by compiling written data aboutvessels.

The HAMMS program was in existence from January 1, 1936 to October 15, 1937. The SmithsonianInstitution served as the official sponsor of the Survey and received all the documentation produced, thusaugmenting its already significant National Watercraft Collection. Unlike other WPA projects, HAMMSwas administered directly from Washington by its Director, Eric J. Steinlein, who coordinated the surveywork of six regional directors. Despite its national mandate, the Survey actually was limited to the easternseaboard, the Great Lakes, and California. Furthermore, the types of craft surveyed and the level ofdocumentation varied considerably within the six regions. During the course of its existence, the HAMMSprogram conducted over 166 surveys and produced over 400 sheets of line drawings of ship's hulls,rigging, and details.
