W. Starling Burgess Papers |
|
Dates:
|
1935-1946 |

Extent:
|
ca. 3800 pieces |
|
Abstract:
|
The W. Starling Burgess
Papers consists of 19 document boxes, containing approximately 3800 pieces of manuscript
material. About 40% of the collection provides information relative to Burgess' involvement
with the design and construction of various yachts, especially the J-Boat RANGER (1936-1937).
Here, one will also find information on RAINBOW, ENTERPRISE, and other yachts, along with
data regarding new techniques in design and construction |
|
Abstract:
|
Nearly 60% of
the collection concerns Burgess' activities as a consulting naval architect for the Aluminum
Company of America (ALCOA) between 1935 and 1941. Aside from his work on the
RANGER, these papers detail the development of the ALUMETTE and TINAVETTE test craft,
as well as calculations, design data, correspondence, proposals, and specifications for various
types of naval craft, including patrol boats, motor torpedo boats, sub chasers, sub destroyers, and
destroyers. Of interest also is material on Burgess' development of a unique freighter/tanker
craft, known as the SEA OTTER (1941-1942) |
|
Abstract:
|
This collection contains
correspondence, primarily to W. Starling Burgess from various individuals and companies. The
researcher will find many letters between Burgess and executives at ALCOA and Bath Iron
Works. Test data and curves, calculations, and correspondence between Burgess and Kenneth S.
M. Davidson at the Stevens Institute of Technology, relative to towing tank activities, makes up a
large and important part of these papers. Mr. Davidson was able to approximate water
conditions and wind forces on model test hulls, which proved to be of great value in the design of
RANGER, and the subsequent hulls for the U.S. Navy. The researcher will also find Burgess'
rough design and performance calculations penciled on yellow legal pad sheets. These can
provide a wealth of information about his design concepts and procedures. Finally, there is a
lesser amount of material relative to BURGESS' efforts to patent some marine hardware, as well
as more personal business and domestic activities. There are letters and papers from his brother
Charles P. Burgess, and numerous sundry pieces of manuscript that together with the rest of the
papers will substantially enhance our knowledge of his life and career. |

W. Starling Burgess was born in 1878, and was an aeronautical engineer and naval architect. His
father, Edward Burgess, designed the America's cup defenders PURITAN, MAYFLOWER and
VOLUNTEER. Burgess was educated at Harvard University, and in 1904 entered his father's
profession by opening a yard at Marblehead, Massachusetts, where he designed and built small boats.
In 1909 he became interested in aviation and constructed a plane in which he made the first
flight in New England. Having sold his plane, he engaged in the manufacture of airplanes with
Norman Prince, who helped found the Lafayette Escadrille during the First World War. They
were thee first civilian pupils of the Wright brothers, receiving a license to manufacture and sell
under their patents for a number of years. They soon began to manufacture airplanes for the army
and navy, and on June 3, 1911, with Greely s. Curtis and Frank H. Russell, he organized the
Burgess Co., for the production of airplanes, hydroplanes, seaplanes, and flying boats. In
October 1911 he fitted a biplane with pontoons and was the first to begin and end a flight on the
water. At the outbreak of the First World War, Burgess sold planes to the Canadian government.
Later he sold to the British Admiralty forty-eight pusher biplanes of a radical design. Business
increased rapidly, and when America entered the First World War, Mr. Burgess sold the
company to John N. Willys. He then spent the war years designing aircraft for the U.S. Navy
with the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
After the war Starling Burgess returned to boat construction, and in 1920 was engaged to
re-rig Alexander Smith Cochran's VANITIE for tests to select the America's Cup defender for
that year. Two years later, with Frank C. Paine, later the designer of the cup sloop YANKEE,
and A. Loring Swasey, he formed the firm of Burgess, Swasey & Paine in Boston, including
among his draftsmen L. Francis Herreshoff. The firm turned out many well-known yachts,
including the ADVANCE for John S. Lawrence, the GOSSOON for Charles Francis Adams, and
the ELLEN for Charles Foster. In 1926 the firm of Burgess, Swasey & Paine was dissolved and
Mr. Burgess joined the firm of Burgess & Morgan, Ltd., naval architects in New York City. In
1928 he designed for Paul Hammond the racing schooner NINA. In 1930 Mr. Burgess designed
the successful America's Cup defender ENTERPRISE for Harold S. Vanderbilt and his syndicate,
embodying in it many radical principles, including a mast and struts of duralumin. He also
designed the successful defender RAINBOW for the same syndicate in 1934. The sloop
RANGER, which he designed for Vanderbilt in 1937, sailed to four successive victories in
defending the America's Cup.
In 1935 Mr. Burgess became a consulting naval architect for the Aluminum Company of
America with his office at the Bath Iron Works, and engaged in promoting a wider use of
corrosion-resisting alloys for ship construction. The ALUMETTE, an all aluminum section of a
ship complete with propellers, was designed by him and built at the Bath Iron Works. The
structure was launched in 1935 and kept continually afloat in salt water at Newport News for
testing the durability of aluminum. On November 1, 1937 Mr. Bugress' design for an all
aluminum high speed destroyer was presented to the U. S. Navy. Orders to build the vessel were
issued by the Secretary of the Navy in November 1941, only to be countermanded a month later
when the United States entered World War II. During the war Mr. Burgess was employed as a
civilian engineer by the Special Devices Division, Bureau of Aeronautics of the Navy, and
assigned to the Anti-Submarine Development Detachment, U. S. Atlantic Fleet. His work with
the Navy was a confidential nature, largely consisting of the design of special devices for
Anti-Submarine warfare. By 1946 Mr. Burgess was at the Stevens Institute of Technology,
where he was involved with damage control research. W. Starling Burgess died in 1947.
