Not USN, Merchant Marine. Less common than USN, but more difficult to research.

Nice document!

Rating of Wiper? Is that correct?

[historyguy]

Yes, that is what it says. From Google:

A wiper is the most junior rate in the engine room of a ship. The role of a wiper consists of cleaning the engine spaces and machinery, and assisting the engineers as directed. The position is an apprenticeship to become an oiler, and has been for centuries.
