Amongst the signers of the guest book at Capt. Huycke's obit is the principal librarian at the SF Maritime NHP (Dave Hull), and he has left his email (you have to go through the Legacy site to send a message, I think). Perhaps he is the intersection, along with the captain. I suspect our SF Mudcatters will know folks at the Maritime Museum.
I'm just musing on this myself. Huycke sounds a little like a west coast version of our Capt. Morse.
