The papers of Curtis L. Malaney (1926-1989) span the years 1923-1989
and consist of a typescript written by Malaney and photocopies of naval court
proceedings. Malaney's typescript, "Danger Bearing; Lord Nelson and Course
095," compares the conduct of Admiral Horatio Nelson during two naval
engagements in 1797 and 1801 with the conduct of United States Navy officers
who caused their destroyers to run aground off Pedernales Point, California,
(known as the Honda Point disaster) in 1923. Background material for this paper
includes a photocopied transcript of the naval court of inquiry investigating
the incident and a photocopied transcript of Captain Robert Morris's subsequent
court-martial.
This collection is arranged alphabetically by subject.
