Falls of Clyde (built 1878; bark, 4m) crew members on the foreyard off Honolulu, Hawaii, 1916 or 1917

Ten men in view. Ernest Aderman, second from right. See P80-091 for print. Information from master file includes the following note from Klebingat: "I do not recall the men's names #1-2-3 or 8, they were likely Norwegians. Number 4 in the middle of the yard was acting Second Mate. He was before the sail maker on the four masted bark OTTOWA (ex BERTHA, ex BUCKINGHAM), then at anchor in sausalita [sic], later on she was taken over by the U.S. Government and named FLYING CLOUD, and later MUSCOOTA. I do not recall his name, he settled in San Francisco and went into house painting. #5 was a German man by the name of Frank Dorr ... he was a very educated man and took a course with I.C.S. in Civil Engineering. This probably did not turn out as he hoped to be, so he took up house painting, and some time after World War I, he was killed in an accident at the Palace Market on Market Street in San Francisco. He was painting the ceiling and the staging gave away. #6 was a German we called 'Codfish Bill'. I do not know his name and how he came to the Pacific Coast, he had made a trip cod fishing in the schooner SEQUOIA therefore his nickname. #7 was a German who arrived at Sausolita [sic] in the German four masted bark OTTOWA. He was known as Mandus, he seemingly was in love with the daughter of Henry Siems, who owned the Valhalla Restaurant and Beer Garden at Sausolita [sic] - if he married the girl I do not know. He was a man who was not over anxious to work, and so I had to tell him 'If I was you, I would quit, before I get fired.' He took the hint and asked for his money. #9 was E. Ademan, the man who owned the camera. Still serving as A.B. I snapped the photo. He did his own developing and printing. #10 A German we knew as 'Caranza.' I do not know his real name, I heard that after the war he returned to Germany and passed for Mate and probably Captains papers. Note: 'Bunt gasket by me. company colors red, white and blue -- A -O-CO in black block letters. The company's house flag. These were made by me, at the Captain's request."
