Description:Harris B. Stewart, who eventually became the first director of the NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory in Miami, FL, joined the Navy Hydrographic Office as a P-1 Hydrographic Engineer in 1948 and was assigned duty aboard the USS Maury for a survey cruise of the Persian Gulf. He wrote down his experiences during that expedition, and the diary (among other diaries and memorabilia) was donated to NOAA by his family upon his passing in 2000. The Persian Gulf Expedition field diary contains descriptions of the day-to-day ship activities.
