Description

Arthur Schuh, who served as a Lieutenant (Junior Grade) in the United States Navy Reserve, captured this photograph of the U.S. Navy Fleet Signal Station on Great Diamond Island in 1943. Born in Quincy, Massachusetts, Schuh received his BA and MBA from Harvard and graduated in 1940.

During Schuh's service in Portland, he captured photographs of military life during World War II, many of which depict rarely-seen images of Naval activity and locations. Some of these subjects include a captured Italian Submarine, U.S. Navy Headquarters, Frontier Base, H.E.C.P at Fort Williams, Navy Supply Pier, Casco Bay Net Depot, U.S. Navy Fuel Depot, and the U.S. Navy Fleet Signal Station on Great Diamond Island.
