Admiral (1813–1891) who helped improve the Navy as the Superintendent of the US Naval Academy after significant service in the American Civil War. Partly-printed DS, one page, 12.5 x 18.5, June 12, 1866. Naval Academy diploma issued to George A. Baldy stating he “has completed the prescribed course of study at the United States Naval Academy and has successfully passed the required examination before the Academic Board.” Signed at the bottom by Porter as Superintendent. Double matted to an overall size of 18 x 24. In very good condition, with scattered creasing and foxing, mainly to lower portion, a few small areas of paper loss, and a few spots of toning. Michigan-born Baldy was accepted to the naval academy in 1863. Despite its flaws, an attractive document.
