Charles T. Harbeck collection

Manuscripts

The collection consists of papers relating to the U.S. Navy and to naval officers. Material includes letters, orders, commissions, engravings, records of various ships, including the U.S.S. Constitution, and other documents, primarily dealing with the naval operations of the Revolutionary War and nineteenth century wars, including the War of 1812 and the Civil War. There is also a small group of items concerning the British Navy. The collection was assembled by Charles T. Harbeck for purposes of extra-illustrating Edgar Stanton Maclay's History of the U. S. Navy, but the project was not completed.
