After hours spent reading correspondence, newspaper clippings, documents, books, and maritime websites, crucial help came from the other side of the country, thanks to the librarians and archivists at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. This meaningful collaboration unveiled precious information about Captain Ley’s life at sea—and many amusing stories.
