Miller, M. Ensign U.S.N.

200 pm until midnight: Overcast to cloudy. Misty and drizzling rain. Calm to variable light airs. Docking force cleaning ship's bottom. The Hull Board appointed by the Commanding Officer inspected the under water body of the ship and found as follows. On compliance with Navy Dept. Circular #47 June 19, 1899, and your orders of April 24, 1900, we have the honor to make the following report on the docking of this vessel;- The ship was last docked at the Union Iron Works, San Francisco, Cal July 31, 1899, when one coat of Williams Anti-corrosive, and one coat of Williams Anti-fouling paint was applied. Since leaving San Francisco on Aug 23, 1899, until we reached Yokohama, March 3, 1900, the ship was constantly on the move, the longest stay in port being nine days. Most of the time was spent in cruising in tropic waters, from the Marquesas across the South Pacific to Fiji thence north to the Marshalls and to Yokohama via Guam. The ship remained in Yokohama from Mar 4 till April 23, and was docked here at Uraga, April 24 at the Ishikawajima Ship Building and Engineering (Limited) works. The bottom was found very clean, along the water line and just below, more or less Algae (Marine grass) was found under the bilges, bottom and propeller struts and shafts, a small number of acorn barnacles had attached themselves and a few goose barnacles to the after rim The paint put on at the previous docking was in excellent condition except along the water line where in places it had all but disappeared, but below this there was still a full body. The absence of the paint along the waterline was no doubt in a large part due to the frequent chafe from canoe outriggers, coal lighters, and boats, which were often alongside in a chop sea and from the contents of the slop and ash chutes. Along the water line on both sides there was pitting, but on the port side from abreast the foremast, aft to the mainmast it was worse than elsewhere. Most of it, however, was in the reinforce plates, so does no material harm. Here and there well below the waterline, a few small pits were found, but generally speaking the hull was in very good condition. The rudder was in good condition, though somewhat corroded near the bottom, and in and around the pintals and gudgeons. The valves and strainers generally were in good conditions, showing the usual corrosion and marine growth, but the outboard end of the bottom blow (portside) was badly pitted and the zinc plate had entirely disappeared, as well as the four screws that held it in place. It would be well to examine this closely at the next docking as it shows signs of excessive corrosion, The corroded metal around the bottom blow was scraped away, the surface covered with Portland cement and a larger zinc protector fitted. All zinc protectors except the one mentioned, and that on the port after propeller strut were in good condition; these two zincs were renewed. The lignum vitae bearings on the starboard shaft are worn somewhat, but moreso on the port side, the after bearing having 3/16 ince play, the middle one 1/4 in. The difference in wear is probably due to the fact that ashes are dumped on the port side. All strainers were thoroughly cleaned and that of the main injection was painted inside as well as out The bottom was scraped. A rivet was renewed in the bottom of the cutwater and several small leaks in the bottom caulked. The bottom was scraped, scrubed and were brushed after which one coat of Hartmans Rahtjen's Improved composition for ship's bottoms, Priming first coat. No 1 (Red Hand brand) was applied and two coats of the same brand as the obove with the difference that it was "Last Coat No 3" The first coat was anti-corrosive, the last two were anti-fouling. In addition to painting the bottom a strip of white one foot wide immediately above water-line, was painted around the ship by the dock force (signed) Hugh Rodman, Lieut. U.S. Navy, C.S. Kempff, Ens.

Dry dock report page 1

USFCS ALBATROSS. QUARTERMASTERS HARBOR, WASHINGTON. October 21, 1900. Sir:- In compliance with Navy Department Circular #47, June 10, 1899, and with your orders of October 18 1900, we have the honor to make the following report on the docking of this vessel:- The ship was last docked April 24, 1900, at the Ishikawajima Ship Building and Engineering Works (Limited), Uraga Harbor, Japan, where one coast of Hartmans Rahtjens No.1 (Red Hand Brand) was applied as a priming coat, and two coats of the same brand, but of ("Last coast No.3") were applied. The first coast was anti corrosive and the last two anti fouling. Since this docking the ship has cruised in the North Pacific, Bering Sea, Alaskan waters, and Puget Sound. Frequent short runs were made along the Alaskan Coast and numerous stops from twelve (12) to seventy-two (72) hours. This ship lay from July 8-19 off the Nushagak River, Alaska, where the water was practically fresh. The ship lay for ten days in Commencement Bay, Washington, and was docked October 18, 1900, by the Puget Sound Dry Dock Company at Quatermaster's Harbor. The bottom was perfectly clean except along the water line and around the bows where Algae (marine grass) about ten inches long was attached. No crustanceans were found attached to the ship's bottom with the exception of a few small mussels on the strainer of the main injection. The paint put on at the previous

9am to midnight. Cloudy to overcast, heavy rain to passing showers. Calm to S'ly light airs, with moderate squall from SSW to SSE in afternoon. Absent without leave: A E Bartlett (Sea), J McCloskey (F2"C), J Lagerward (Sea) and F Huter (Sea.). A E Bartlett (Sea) was this day declared a deserter from this vessel and the naval service. At 9.00 hove up anchor and entered the dry-dock; ship centred at 9.35, and landed on keel-blocked at 9.46, ship dry at 10:50, floor of dock dry at noon. Sent painted canvas on wharf to be assembled. Dock workmen engaged in cleaning bottom and removing propellers working greater part of the night on the latter. Lieut Rodman and Ens. Kempff inspected the ship's bottom and reported as follows:-

docking was in excellent condition, a good and smooth body remaining on all parts of the bottom except in wake of the slop chute on the port side where the paint was probably acted upon by grease and other matter discharged by the chute. The bottom of the keel showed some corrosion and some rust nodules were found on the starboard bow but did not cover pits of any depth. Some pitting showed along the water line on the reinforce strake but this pitting was no worse than at the previous docking. Some slight pits were found under the forward Engine Room air port on the fifth strake above the keel. The strainers on the ship's bottom showed the usual corrosion, the after one, port side, being more corroded than the others. Generally speaking the hull was in excellent condition. The rudder was in good condition, but the links for hooking relieving tackles were badly corroded and should be removed. Unsound corroded metal was chipped from the lower end of the governor pipe on the starboard side. All zinc protectors on the starboard side were in good condition, showing a normal amount of corrosion. The after zinc on the port side was badly corroded and the zinc plate around the "bottom blow" pipe had disappeared, the cour screws that held it remaining in place. The cement placed around the bottom blow at the last docking was in good condition and no marked increase in corrosion at this pplace could be seen. The two last mentioned zinc protectors were renewed and the others were scraped. All sea outboard valves were overhauled and found in good

condition; the pipe and inside of the main injection valve was painted with anti corrosive paint. Both after lignum vitae bearings and the middle bearing on the port side were refilled and fitted. The shafts and inside of the properllers were in good condition. The stuffing box around the rudder head was overhauled, the packing examined, and all found in good condition. The bottom was scraped where necessary, washed with fresh water, and rough places smoothed; after which one coat of Williams Submarine Compound, No. 1, anti corrosive, and then one coat of No. 2, anti fouling, of the same brand, were applied. The propellers were sandpapered before painting. Respectfully submitted, (signed) Hugh Rodman Lieut. U.S.Navy. (signed) C S Kempff Ensign U.S.Navy. THE COMMANDING OFFICER. U. S. F. C. S. ALBATROSS.
