James S. Chambers (1821—1904) was a 19th-Century American co-owner, editor, and publisher of the Philadelphia Bulletin as well as Navy agent for the Port of Philadelphia on behalf of the U.S. Government, appointed by President Abraham Lincoln; he is the namesake of the USS James S. Chambers. BackgroundJames Slater Chambers was born on July 14, 1821, in Philadelphia. His parents were Peter Chambers and Jane Harwood. CareerPhiladelphia BulletinBefore 1860, Chambers was a co-owner and editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin (also known as the Evening Bulletin and Philadelphia Evening Bulletin).[1] By March 1860, when partner Alexander Cummings sold out[2] and, with increased ownership, the co-owners voted Chambers publisher.[3] One of his trainees was Richard Harding Davis (1864–1916), who later covered the Spanish–American War, the Second Boer War, and the First World War.[4] Chambers remained publisher at least as late as 1878 (also listed as publisher of the Philadelphia Day).[5] Navy agentOn August 10, 1861, Chambers was appointed Navy agent for the Port of Philadelphia by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.[6] On December 26, 1864, on order of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, U.S. Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles sent Chambers a letter of removal: NAVY DEPARTMENT, December 26, 1864The letter formed part of Johnson's defense against impeachment proceedings.[7] USS James S. ChambersAlso in 1861, the Union Navy named the USS James S. Chambers, a three-masted schooner it acquired on September 4, 1861, during the American Civil War (less than three weeks after Chambers' appointment as Navy agent). She served as gunboat to block Confederate waterways. Personal and deathOn December 17, 1861, Chambers married the daughter of James R. Gaskins, Esq.[1] The editor James S. Slater (1853–1923) was his nephew. Chambers was an unabashed supporter of Lincoln, not only due to his own position as Navy agent but also because his aged father had been made superintendent of warehouses for the Philadelphia customs service.[8] See also
