The
Coast and Geodetic Survey Album
of the NOAA Historical Images Collection is composed of over 3,000
images of many aspects of Coast and Geodetic Survey operations including
geodesy, nautical and aeronautical charting, geophysics, oceanography,
and the military aspects of these disciplines. These images document
the geodetic surveying of the United States and its territories, the
nautical charting work associated with producing charts for the marine
waterways of the United States and its territories, and the development
of early geophysics and oceanography.
The Coast and Geodetic Survey Album chronicles this rich heritage.
The album will take you on a trip through time and throughout our
United States with these men who surveyed the land and the marine
waterways of America, helped form the present scientific infrastructure
of the United States, and whose indomitable spirit and perseverance
is captured in these many remarkable images.
