Albert A. Bartlett Papers
Collection Organization
The collection contains photographs compiled in a scrapbook documenting Albert A. Bartlett's employment on the iron ore freighters PONTIAC and PETER WHITE in 1941 and 1942. All 208 photographs are in black and white. Bartlett was the photographer for each image, other than those few in which he appears as a subject. This collection is an excellent source for candid views of life aboard ship in the early 1940s.
Accompanying the photographs are seven hours of recorded reminiscences by Bartlett regarding his work as a lake vessel porter. The six audio tapes have been transcribed to a typescript format also.
A photocopy of Bartlett's scrapbook offers readers the captions written by Bartlett as evidence of his analysis of work patterns on the lake vessels. The original scrapbook remains with his family.
A small clippings series presents memorabilia regarding lake activities for scattered years from 1940 to 1975.
