USCS Robert J. Walker (1844)
''USCS Robert J. Walker'' was a survey ship that served in the United States Coast Survey, a predecessor of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, from 1848 until sinking in 1860 after a collision at sea. Her loss resulted in the death of 20 men, the greatest loss of life in single incident ever to befall the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or any of its ancestor agencies.
==Construction and acquisition==
''Robert J. Walker'' was a sidewheel steamer built in 1844 by Joseph Tomlinson at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as one of the United States Governments first iron-hulled steamers.〔Anonymous, "Ship Notes, Seaport, & Museum News: The Wreck of the ''Robert J. Walker'', a steamer that served in the U.S. Coast Survey, has been added to the National Register of Historic Places," ''Sea History'' No. 147, Summer 2014, p. 46.〕 She was among eight steamers originally intended for the United States Revenue Cutter Service, but the Revenue Cutter Service had decided that the steamers were too expensive to maintain and operate, and she instead entered Coast Survey service in 1848.〔〔(noaa.gov The Story of the Coast Survey Steamer Robert J. Walker )〕
