DS, one onionskin page, 8 x 10.5, no date. Application for License to Operate Vessel in Territorial Waters of the United States or to Depart Therefrom, issued by the Navy Department of the United States Coast Guard. Document is blank with the exception of Bogart’s eloquent signature in the middle of the page, right below the attestation, “A License is hereby requested to operate the vessel described above for the purpose and on the waters specified. I certify that the statements made in this application are true, to the best of my knowledge and belief.” Intersecting folds, a couple of trivial separations along the folds, a bit of light creasing and toning, and a trivial spot of soiling to the left of the crisp signature, otherwise fine condition.
In 1944, Bogart volunteered his beloved yacht Santana (as well as himself) for service with the Coast Guard Temporary Reserve, a civilian, volunteer branch of the Coast Guard and the Temporary Reserve comprised of individuals who served in the Coast Guard on a part-time basis. During actual service the temporary reservists were members of the military, but off-duty, they reverted back to civilian status. The volunteers, using private vessels offered for service in the Coast Guard, conducted coastal patrols, stood watch, provided port security, and other work that enabled regular Coast Guardsmen for service overseas.
Bogie reported once a week for duty, setting sail on his yacht from Balboa, California, for weekly patrols. On these occasions, he rendezvoused with model turned actress Lauren Bacall, whom he had met on the set of To Have and Have Not; they would marry in 1945, spending many happy hours aboard Bogart's boats moored at Newport Bay.
