Charles Francis Adams III (1866–1954) was a distinguished public servant and a direct descendant of two U.S. presidents—John Adams and John Quincy Adams. A Harvard-educated lawyer and businessman, he served as Secretary of the Navy under President Herbert Hoover from 1929 to 1933, during which he advocated for modernization and strategic expansion of the U.S. fleet. Beyond public office, Adams remained deeply involved in maritime affairs, philanthropy, and cultural institutions in Boston. His leadership and legacy reflected the enduring influence of the Adams political dynasty in American history.
