Brown cover book measures 7 ¾”x 4 ¾”. Some wear and slight bending on the cover. The binding and pages of the booklet are slightly worn. The book was part of a publication produced by the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association office in San Francisco. The booklet features not only a directory of members but advertisements from everything from a list of steam boat inspectors to undertakers. With humble origins beginning in Buffalo NY, the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association has turned into the oldest maritime officer’s trade organization in the United States. It was formed to create a safe work environment for ship workers. It was established in 1874 and is still in existence today. [Ref: http://mebaunion.org/history.htm].
