1042. Grover, David. Cableship Restorer in Alaska – Recollections and Interpretations. Parts I and II of II. The Sea Chest – Journal of The Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society. September and December, 2004. The Cableship Restorer (1902-1951) was first operated by the Commercial Pacific Cable Company. She was built in 1902, the same year that the underwater telegraph cable had been laid from the new cable station at Bamfield , British Columbia , across the Pacific Ocean to Australia and New Zealand . During WWII, the Alaska Communications System (ACS), operated by the United States Army Signal Corps, has had a long list of cable ships maintaining the Alaska cable including the C.S. Restorer [Kenrick A Claflin was Chief Radio Operator during that period.] . Lengthy article numbering 26 pages in two parts details the work of the Restorer during World War II. Well illustrated with numerous photos. (F-). $32.
