We provide opportunities for people to learn about themselves and others based on their actions and reactions in given situations.rnrnTeambuilding through experiential education allows participants the opportunity to work through a problem-solving mission at an accelerated rate in comparison to their daily jobs and evaluate their performance as a unit.rnrnCalifornian teambuilding participants are placed in an unfamiliar environment that breaks down barriers, levels the playing field and heightens awareness creating a readiness to learn. In a cooperative environment, conducive to risk taking, the group is presented with new skills and problem-solving situations leading individuals to actively engage in the challenges at hand. The excitement of the activity causes individuals to focus on the task and, consequently, remember what they have learned and experienced.rnrnThis program encourages individuals to rely on each other, strengthening the level of trust within the group and allows them to explore the hidden resources amongst team members creating a higher value for individual differences. A platform for trying on different leadership styles is created while participants practice communication skills. Throughout the problem-solving process, a direct correlation between cause and effect becomes evident. Thus the consequences of actions and behaviors are easily observed. Once awareness is created, individuals have the opportunity to determine the effectiveness of the displayed group and individual behaviors.rnrnMany of the behaviors demonstrated during the experience also occur in other settings. Our goal is to assist participants as they draw parallels between the activity and the office and develop plans to support and/or change certain behaviors. Implementing this plan allows for positive personal and professional changes in the lives of individuals and thus develops the team as a whole.rnrnAre you ready for the Adventure?

rnrnAccessrnCollection is open for researchrnrnAcquisition InformationrnThe collection items were received by the Maritime Museum of San Diego from unknown donors on unknown dates.rnrnHistorical Note:rnThe Euterpe was built in the town of Ramsey on the Isle of Mann located in the Irish Sea, off the northwest coast of Britain in 1863. The Euterpe is a full-rigged, iron-hulled windjammer vessel, which served Great Britain well making numerous trips to India hauling jute and New Zealand transporting passengers. During these first three decades of service the Euterpe made 21 round-the-world trips. In 1897 it was sold to the Pacific Colonial Ship Company of San Francisco, California and the Euterpe made voyages from the Pacific Northwest to Australia and Hawaii transporting lumber, sugar and coal.rnrnIn 1901 the Euterpe was sold to the Alaska Packers Association based in San Francisco. The Euterpe rigging was change and fitted as a bark and began to ferry fisherman, cannery workers, coal, supplies and equipment from Oakland, California to Nushagak, Alaska in the Bering Sea. In 1906 the name of the Euterpe was changed to the Star of India to match the other vessels in the Alaska Packer Fleet. The Star of India made over 22 Alaskan voyages.rnrnBy the 1920s steam power superseded wind as the preferred propulsion method for sea going vessels and the Star of India quickly became obsolete. Jerry MacMullen a San Diego waterfront reporter and a group of supporters purchased the vessel in 1926. The group wanted to turn the ship into a museum but due to a failing economy in the United States and World War II the plan was abandoned. In 1959 with the urging of an old windjammer captain the Star of India Auxiliary was formed, funds were raised and restoration efforts began. In 1976 the Star of India put to sea once again. The Star of India currently occupies a place of honor at the Maritime Museum of San Diego as a centerpiece of maritime history and is maintained in sail-ready condition.rnrnrnScope and content:rnEuterpe – Star of India: Original Documents Collection, dated 1879 through 1986, consists of original documents associated with the voyages of the Windjammer Euterpe and Bark Star of India while in the service of Great Britain and under the ownership of the Pacific Colonial Company and the Alaska Packers Association, which include vessel certificates of approval and survey documents, bills of lading, captains vessel inventories, vessel equipment requisition documents, Alaska Packers fleet record book, Alaskan Coast pilot notes, vessel report of movement documents, navigator log book and notes, employment agreements, ship master handbook, crew member list, maps, vessel sketches and paintings, newspaper clipping, sheet music, personal correspondence and ephemera.rnrnOrganization and Arrangement

Fortuitously for Aspinwall and his fellow investors, Pacific Mail was ideally positioned to cash in on the Gold Rush of 1849. As a result of this and the high quality of its service, the company became both an important part of the history of the American West as well as one of the most profitable enterprises of its era, with an annual return on investment that ran as high as 30%. Within five years of its inception, the company was running 18 steamers and it peaked at 23 in 1869. In that year, however, the completion of the transcontinental railroad foretold the end of the high profits of the Panama-California route.

The company originated as San Francisco Bay operation carrying water to ships in the harbor from springs in the upper reaches of the bay. The Pacific Coast SS Company proper began in 1877 and eventually attracted the attention of investors from the eastern US, but the intense competition that developed following the Alaska gold rush kept profits down, and the shareholders used the excuse of a fire on the company’s largest ship in 1916 to sell the company to Hubbard F. Alexander, who merged it into his Admiral Line. [McMillian, Joe. “The House of Flags of U. S.

The Steamer Solano was one of the largest paddle-wheel steamers, over 400 feet in length. The Solano could move train engines and freight cars as well as passengers.

The Benson Timber Company was the innovator of the raft of logs. A large number of logs, upwards of 6,000,000 linear feet were chained together and towed down the coast to San Diego for processing at the local sawmill. Benson sold his interest in the company to the Everson family in 1911, which continued doing business under the Benson name for two more decades. [Allen, Alice Benson.

The family built a home in Point Loma in 1913. By 1914, the Kettenburg family included three brothers and two sisters. George William Kettenburg Sr. was always interested in boats and installed an automobile engine in a vessel he purchased from a neighbor and christened it the Poddy. At age fifteen, George William Kettenburg Jr. helped his father build a 22-foot sailboat from a set of plans. George Jr. immediately demonstrated an aptitude for boat design by extending the length of the craft to produce a faster vessel. Shortly after finishing high school George Jr. started a boat building business in the family’s back yard with financial support from George Sr.rnrnThe business thrived and by 1929 purchased property on the waterfront and opened the Kettenburg Boat Works. The family business struggled during the depression because the Kettenburg Star model sailboat was too expensive to build. The business answered the call for a more economical craft by downsizing their current model and creating the Starlet, a smaller version of the Star series. During World War II George Jr. built boats for the military, designed new sailboats and built boats for the local tuna fishing fleet.rnrnOver the years, with the help of his brother Paul Kettenburg, George Jr. designed and built a number of successful sailboats including the Pacific Class and Pacific Coast Class models in various lengths. The Kettenburg 38, 40, 41, 46 and 50, known as “K” models were extremely popular because the vessels were very seaworthy, easy to handle and extremely fast, winning a number of races. George Jr. passed away in 1952 and the business was restructured as a partnership including George William Kettenburg III (Bill), Paul Kettenburg, Morgan Miller, Charles Underwood and Bill Kearns and became Kettenburg Marine.rnrnKettenburg Marine continued to build exceptional, well designed vessels and in 1969 the company was purchased by the Whittaker Corporation of Los Angeles. Paul Kettenburg continued to guide the business until his retirement in 1979. The company was sold to Thompson Fetter in 1985 and subsequently dissolved in 1993.rnrnScope and content:rnThe Kettenburg Collection, dated 1960-2006, consists of items associated with Kettenburg Marine, which include biographical information about Paul Kettenburg, the Kettenburg Dory Loan Agreement and relevant correspondence, numerous construction blue prints, sketches, diagrams, tables, schematics, and miscellaneous materials for the Kettenburg 40, 41, 43 and 50 model sailboats.rnrnOrganization and ArrangementrnThe collection is arranged into the following series:rnSeries I – Paul Kettenburg Biographical InformationrnSeries II – Dory Loan CorrespondencernSeries III – Kettenburg 41 Construction Sketches, Blue Prints and Miscellaneous DocumentsrnSeries IV – Kettenburg 40 and 41 Construction Sketches, Blue Prints and Miscellaneous DocumentsrnSeries V – Kettenburg 43 Construction Sketches and Miscellaneous DocumentsrnSeries VI – Kettenburg 50 Construction Sketches and Miscellaneous DocumentsrnrnContainer List

San Diego (CL-53) was the second U.S. Navy ship to bear the California citys name. The Atlanta-class light antiaircraft cruiser, commissioned in 1942, played a part in almost every major Pacific campaign during World War II. Although it was attacked on numerous occasions, the San Diego never lost a man in combat or suffered any major damage. During its lifetime, the ship participated in 34 major battles, earned 18 battle stars, and traveled 300,000 miles. On August 28, 1945, it earned the distinction of being among the first major Allied warships to enter Tokyo Bay since the beginning of the war. The San Diego was decommisioned in November 1946 and placed in the Pacific Reserve Fleet in Bremerton, Washington. It was redesignated CLAA-53 in 1949, was struck from the Naval Vessel Register 10 years later, and was scrapped in Seattle in 1960.rnrnScope and ContentrnThe U.S.S. San Diego collection is a compilation of historical pieces and the results of research undertaken by members of the U.S.S. San Diego Reunion Association. It contains a number of original and photocopied logs and records from the San Diego and one of its captains, W.E.A. Mullan. In addition to this official record, the collection offers a number of firsthand accounts told by those who served aboard the ship. Diaries, correspondence, biographies, pre-written crew letters, and memorabilia illustrate the activities of the ship and the daily lives of its crew.rnrnAlso detailing the San Diegos history are numerous manuscripts and clippings, spanning from the World War II era to the early 21st century. The collection also contains information about the first U.S.S. San Diego (ACR-6) and the third (AFS-6), as well as general background information about World War II and ships of the United States Navy.rnrnOrganization and ArrangementrnThe collection is arranged into the following series:rnI.

rnrnAccessrnCollection is open for researchrnrnAcquisition InformationrnThe collection was received by the Maritime Museum of San Diego in 2008.rnrnBiographical note:rnBurke Everett Bodwell (B.E. Bodwell) was born 1881, in Omaha, Nebraska. Bodwell enlisted in the United States Navy on October 15, 1901 in Omaha, Nebraska. His term of enlistment was over on October 28, 1905 and Bodwell received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Navy. Seaman Bodwell was assigned to the U.S.S. Bennington on March 17, 1903, as an Apprentice Third Class. On July 21, 1905, the Bennington suffered a violent boiler explosion while moored in the harbor at San Diego, California. Bodwell died in 1968.rnrnHistorical note:rnThe U.S.S. Bennington was a 1700-ton Yorktown class gunboat. The Bennington was built in Chester, Pennsylvania and commissioned June 1891. The vessel’s cruise history included service in the Caribbean and South America (1891-1892), an Atlantic crossing and European service through February 1893 before departure to the Western Hemisphere. In late 1893, the Bennington returned to Mediterranean waters for a time, and then went back to the Western Hemisphere for deployments on the west coasts of North and South America. During the Spanish-American War the Bennington protected U.S. people and property in Hawaii and California. In 1898, the Bennington spent time in the Far East with visits to Wake Island, Japan and China. During the Far East tour the gunboat saw combat in the Philippines and returned to the west coast of the United States in 1901.rnrnThe Bennington was decommissioned in late 1901, underwent an overhaul and was recommissioned in March 1903. The Bennington was assigned to the Pacific Ocean in 1904 and saw service along the west coast of the Americas ranging from Alaska to South America, including a trip to Hawaii during spring 1905. After returning to the West Coast the Bennington made port in San Diego, California during July 1905. As the Bennington was preparing to leave San Diego harbor on July 21, 1905, the vessel suffered a deadly boiler explosion. The resulting loss of life was horrific, 65 of the crew were killed and numerous injured. Soon after the accident the Bennington was pushed into shallow water by a tugboat, which saved the vessel from being a total loss. The U.S.S. Bennington was raised and towed to Mare Island Navy Yard in San Francisco but never repaired and decommissioned October 1905. The vessel was sold in November 1910.rnrnScope and content:rnThe Burke Everett Bodwell Sr. Collection, U.S.S. Bennington (PG-4), dated 1896-1957, consists of items collected by seaman Bodwell and his family, which include an original Bennington crew muster roll, photographic albums entitledScenes in the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Hawaiian Islands and Scenes Relating to Soldiers and Pacific Squadron 1904, single and group photographs of Burke Everett Bodwell and Bennington crew members, a book entitled U.S. Naval Training Station, Yerba Buena Island, San Francisco, CA, correspondence requesting the city of San Diego to memorialize the date of the Bennington disaster, manuscripts including the Circular Letter No. 3 to the Surviving Bennington Crew and The Third Annual Directory of the Surviving Bennington Crew and period newspapers,The Omaha Daily News and The Evening World-Herald dated July 21, 22, 24 and 31, 1905 detailing the disaster.rnrnPersonal items of Burke Everett Bodwell including a naval landsman and apprentice guide, several artifacts including a piece of the Bennington boiler, a Bennington hat band, United Spanish War Veteran 1898-1902 lapel pin and large sheet metal cross and personal papers including U.S.S.
