In 1959 he retired as supervising engineer from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, Maine. These plans drawn by Mr. Mosher and others were found among his files. They range in date from 1904 to 1956 and contain plans for recreational vessels for rowing and sail, auxiliary and power yachts, commercial vessels, and naval vessels. Also included are plans specifically for use in ship model construction. This material was donated by William A. Scheer, a friend of the late Mr. Mosher, in 1994.
