Newly recruited American soldiers arriving in U.S. Army training camps; Dutch steamer Amsterdam seized in New York Harbor

World War I Draft and mobilization activities in 1917-1918. American WWI military recruits get down from a railroad train to get to the training camp. U.S. Military officials board the seized Dutch steamer ship in New York Harbor (seized as a neutral vessel during timeframe that Dutch ships under the modus vivendi agreement with the allies were threatened by German U-boats). The ship appears to be the Nieuw Amsterdam. (Lettering behind officials as they board is clearly "Amsterdam" but there is an obstructed word before that may be "Nieuw". Several Dutch ships were seized by U.S. military officials during this same month, including the Nieuw Amsterdam). Crew on the deck of the steamer ship Amsterdam. Dutch flag flying on the ship.

Members of 12th Coast Artillery Mine Planter Battery prepare to plant mines from a vessel, during World War II

Film on the Employment and Operation of a Submarine Mine Battery.Members of 12th U.S. Army Coast Artillery Mine Planter Battery prepare for mine planting. They unroll steel cable from a large roll and cut it into lengths of from 500 to 1600 feet, to be fastened, from their respective mines, to a distribution box. The cut cables are each coiled on a rack in a figure eight, with both ends free for connecting. A length of 135 feet is free on each cable for use on the mine planter vessel. Ends of each cable are tagged to identify their respective mines. Coast Artillerymen load the racks on the aft deck of the vessel, along with mine buoys and other equipment. They then thread the free 135 foot length of each cable segment along the sides of the planter vessel from stern to foredeck, where they will be fastened to their respective mines. As the planter vessel pulls away from the wharf, and heads for the mine fields, the mines can be seen lined along her railings. The name of the mine planter vessel, "General J.M. Schofield," is clearly visible.
