The angular distributions of ${}_{}{}^{17}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}(t, p){}_{}{}^{19}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ transitions to 13 states in ${}_{}{}^{19}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ have been analyzed by distorted wave techniques. Two-particle transfer amplitudes from recent ${\mathrm{}\left(\mathrm{sd}\right)\mathrm{}}^3$ shell-model calculations have been utilized to aid in the interpretation of the structure of ${}_{}{}^{19}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$. The theoretical calculations reproduce the $L$ admixtures in the angular distributions remarkably well for many of the low-lying states. Ratios of measured-to-predicted cross sections are consistent to within a factor of 3. The correspondence between the experimentally known states of ${}_{}{}^{19}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ and those predicted by the shell-model calculations is discussed; most of the states with known $J^{\pi }$ are well accounted for.
