	3	8888.0096.0000.00	documents	Lumber Industry Documents:BackgroundThe mate				Lumber Industry Documents:BackgroundThe material in this collection was acquired by purchase from various sources. It consists of two receipts, a time-keeper's book, a book listing lumber sales and shipments, a ledger of 304 pages, and a sheet found in the time-keepers book listing expenses for trips.Scope and ContentThe two receipts are dated 28 September and 30 November 1829 and refer to the receipt on board the sloops Eagle and True Guide of stated quantities of corded oak wood. In both cases the oak wood is for Justes Lowery, apparently of Hall's Landing. The only information about the vessels and Lowery is that contained in the receipts themselves. The location of Hall's Landing is not known.The book listing lumber sales and shipments by K. C. Rice of Craddockville, VA, dates from August 1916 to April 1918, and describes the transactions in detail. Craddockville is located at the head of Craddock Creek, about four miles west northwest of Belle Haven, VA. Most of the lumber, which largely consisted of 35- to 75-foot pilings or "sticks", was shipped by rail, although some was rafted. There are frequent references to Pennsylvania Railroad "car" numbers. Shipments were mostly from such Eastern Shore of Virginia points as Birds Nest Station, Nassawadox Station, Eastville Station, and Machipongo Station. Destinations included Newark and Harrison, NJ, Boston, MA, Buffalo, NY, and Mahanoy City, PA. Some of the "sticks" were sold under contract to the U. S. Government.The time-keeper's book covers the period from April 1910 through October 1910 and November 1912. It lists K. C. and John W. Rice, as well as a number of other employees. It gives the number of days worked per month. Each month is divided into two parts. Although the printed format contains a column for pay "rate per day", no rates are entered, nor is there an entry in the column for total amounts paid. The name K. C. Rice has been entered on the flyleaf at the back of the book.The ledger, which apparently is from the L. J. Houston & Co. of Stockton, MD, covers the period from January 1902 through December 1907. Stockton lies about eleven miles south of Snow Hill, MD, and about three miles north of the Virginia border. The ledger reflects monetary entries for a number of individuals and organizations whose names are shown in an alphabetical index at the front of the volume. In addition, sections of the ledger at pp. 193-209 and 302-304 list weekly rental income for 1909-1910 and1904-1906 respectively.One BoxFolder 1- Two receipts: (1) dated 28 Sept 1829 for eighteen and one half cords of oak wood received on board the sloop True Guide at Hall's Landing by W.

Chapelle Research complied by Dr. Joann King<CR><CR>This collection is composed of Joann King's personal research notes as she prepared her doctoral dissertation about the life and work of Howard I. Chapelle. Correspondence between Chapelle and various individuals regarding ship building, his publications, his work at the Smithsonian Institution, as well as personal matters are included. Also included are letters between King and Chapelle's wife, Zayma and stepdaughter, Anne, as well as correspondence with many other individuals seeking specific biographical information about him. Chapelle's publications, book reviews written about his works, various newspaper and magazine articles discussing his work, thorough information regarding the Historic American Merchant Marine Survey (HAMMS), and other miscellaneous research materials used for King's dissertation are also found in this collection.Background InformationHoward I. Chapelle (1901-1975) was born in Massachusetts and briefly attended the Webb Institute of Naval Architecture, but received no more professional training or education. In the 1930s he started his own business of designing small craft including fishing boats and yachts. As the Great Depression continued, Chapelle became the New England regional director of the Historic American Merchant Marine Survey (HAMMS), a Works Progress Administration program designed to record vital information and plans of historic ships throughout the United States. During World War II, Chapelle was a Captain in the U.S. Army and worked in the Office of the Chief of Transportation. In 1950 Chapelle received a Guggenheim Fellowship to study American Naval Architecture at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England. In the mid 1950s, Chapelle lived briefly in Turkey and worked for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations as a consultant on fishing boat design. In 1957, Chapelle began working at the Smithsonian Institution as the Curator of Transportation. He retired from the Smithsonian in 1971, but continued to write, design ships, and receive mail from boat builders seeking his professional opinion until his death. Throughout his career, Chapelle published a dozen books and numerous articles regarding boat building, and histories and in-depth information regarding certain craft. Wife, Alice Zayma Chapelle (now deceased), and stepdaughter Anne Appleton survived him. In 1983, Joann King, a PhD candidate at the George Washington University contacted Zayma Chapelle, informing her that she would be writing her dissertation about the life and work of her late husband, Howard I. Chapelle. The above biographical information about Chapelle is directly taken from King's research materials that she donated to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in May 2002.For material collected directly from Howard I.

	5	8888.0072.0000.00	documents	Lester R. Trott Collection:The bulk of the Tro				Lester R. Trott Collection:The bulk of the Trott collection is divided among two categories: advertisements and correspondence relating to the companies that he advertised for while running an ad business in Annapolis in the late 1940s to early 1950s, and articles and internal correspondence for Chesapeake Appreciation, Inc., the group in charge of Chesapeake Appreciation Days (CAD). Trott worked with the CAD in the late 1970s when employed by the state Department of Economic and Community Development. Additional materials in the collection include miscellaneous papers from his stint as an advertising man for The Skipper magazine, papers collected while active with the Annapolis Power Squadron, and one document from his brief career as a yacht broker. Biographical BackgroundMr. Lester R. Trott, (born 1918) was involved throughout his life in several aspects of maritime business and promotion on the Chesapeake Bay. A lifelong resident of Annapolis, Maryland, he is a life charter member of the Annapolis Power Squadron dating back to the early 1940s. Starting in the late 1940s he started his own advertising firm, Lester R. Trott, Advertising, which handled promotion and advertising for local businesses. His principal account was for Chesapeake Vacation Cruise of Annapolis but also included Weems Navigation, Tidewater Cruises [?] (of Ephrata PA), John Trumpy & Sons, and many others, not necessarily maritime. He is also one of the founders of the magazine The Chesapeake Skipper (later The Skipper), the first yachting magazine on the Chesapeake (first issue July 1947). After closing his business he joined the staff, working as production manager from December 1951 to February 1952 and thereafter in advertising sales with Henry T. Meneely until March 1953. Leaving the magazine he started another business, this time as a yacht broker. At the time there was only one other yacht broker in business in Annapolis - Annapolis Yacht Sales. Among the boats he handled distributionship for was the Little Mariner, a small plywood outboard cruiser made by Mariner Cruiser of Maryland. He closed the brokerage and returned to the magazine in November 1956 as advertising manager, remaining there until July 1961. Thereafter, he worked as a director of special events and the special projects manager in the Maryland Department of Economic and Community Development, Division of Tourist Development. One of the projects he helped promote was the Chesapeake Appreciation Days, strongly represented in this collection. He remained in this capacity until retirement in 1980.

	6	8888.0052.0000.00	documents	CAPTAIN LEONARD S. TAWES MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION				CAPTAIN LEONARD S. TAWES - MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION<CR><CR>Biographical Background<CR> Captain Leonard S. Tawes was born in Accomack County, Virginia, on October 2, 1853. He died in Crisfield, Maryland, on December 6, 1932. He went to sea at an early age, worked his way up to master of sailing vessels, and continued actively to captain sailing vessels until 1922 when he retired from the sea to devote himself to oyster farming in the area around Crisfield. In his retirement, using his logs and other records, Tawes composed a series of journals covering his life and recounting his maritime experiences in detail. The journals, edited by Robert H. Burgess, called Coasting Captain, were published as a book by The Mariners Museum in 1967. This volume is an excellent companion to the manuscript collection and permits clarification of many of the entries found in the manuscripts themselves. In 1884 Captain Tawes took command of, and part ownership in the three-masted, 138-foot schooner City of Baltimore. The 356-gross ton schooner was built by Goss, Sawyer & Packard of Bath, Maine, and was launched on February 2, 1884. Tawes captained the City of Baltimore until 1904 when she was sold in Tampa, Florida (Coasting Captain, 146, 445-6). Most of the material in the manuscript collection relates to the period during which Tawes sailed the City of Baltimore.Scope and Content The collection consists of seven bound booklets and ledgers, and one folder containing various documents which were found in the ledgers when they were accessioned. Most of the material is financial and other operating records from the schooner City of Baltimore. Subject: Captain Leonard S Tawes	No image URL.	View
	7	8888.0028.0000.00	documents	M. V. Brewington Collection: 1930s-1950s		Range, Cir 01/01/1930 - 12/31/1950		Part of this collection is in CSC FF 60.M. V. Brewington Collection:1930s-1950sThe collection is comprised of correspondence, research notes, ship plans, Yachting articles, newspaper clippings, draft manuscripts, and photographs concerned with Brewington's Chesapeake Bay related publications.Biographical BackgroundMarion Vernon Brewington was born at Salisbury, Maryland, on 23 June 1902 and died on 8 December 1974. As a youth, he worked as a hand on Chesapeake Bay vessels. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1925, he worked as a banker in Philadelphia. With the onset of World War II, in 1942 he was commissioned in the Naval Reserve and served in the Navy Department's Naval Records and Library. After the war he held the position of Acting Curator of the Naval Historical Foundation in Washington and Curator of the maritime collections at the Maryland Historical Society. In 1956 he assumed the posts of Assistant Director and Curator of Maritime History at the Peabody Museum of Salem, Massachusetts. In 1966 he accepted the Directorship of the Kendall Whaling Museum, Sharon, Massachusetts. He retired in the summer of 1974 to work on a cataloguing project at the Mystic Seaport Museum, Mystic, Connecticut. A prolific writer, he produced some of the most important works on Chesapeake Bay maritime boatbuilding and history. The American Neptune, XXXV:1 (January 1975)Scope and ContentThe collection represents Brewington's research methods. The range and type of material reflects the author's meticulous search for details regarding all aspects of the Chesapeake Bay's vernacular watercraft and shipping. The majority of information was collected during the period 1930-1950, though some documents exceed this date. Many of the documents, newspaper abstracts, and notes examine general information regarding eighteenth- and nineteenth-century shipbuilding and maritime commerce. Most of the correspondence deals specifically with information regarding late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Chesapeake Bay vessels. The ship plans preserve specific designs of Chesapeake Bay related watercraft. Subject: Marion V Brewington	No image URL.	View

Biographical BackgroundThomas B. Taylor was born near Barren Creek Springs, Md. (now Mardela Springs) on September 5, 1823. His family had been on the Eastern Shore for several generations and his grandfather served in the Revolution.Taylor's father, Thomas Taylor, served in the War of 1812 and was a sailor. Married to Eliza Smith, they left three children: Ellen, Uriah and Thomas B. Taylor'smother died at his birth. His father died in 1832.Taylor's upbringing after his parent's death is not clear. He was, apparently, educated because at age19 he began to teach school. He taught for three years.In 1849 Taylor went to work for Lemuel Rush Bratton (Brattan, Bratten) at his store in Barren Creek Springs. In 1850 he purchased the store's goods and went into business with Washington R. Melson until 1853 when Melson moved to St. Michaels.Taylor retired from the store in 1890, but did not sell it.Taylor also served as a public official. He was elected a Wicomico County Commissioner in 1867, the year the county was formed. He served in the Maryland State Legislaturein 1883. He was a member of the Methodist Protestant Church a trustee there, and for 21 years he was superintendent of the Sunday School. He was a Mason, an Odd Fellow and a Heptasoph.Taylor owned 1200 acres of land near Barren Creek Springs. In 1898 he owned the Mardela Springs Hotel with James E. Bacon. Taylor never married. After his death on October 9, 1901 his store was sold. It sold in 1908 to C. A. Calloway.Biographical material from Chapman Publisher's PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF THE EASTERN SHORE, 1898.

Brown and Bro Papers<CR><CR>The collection is comprised of some of the correspondence and business papers concerning the Brown's Sail Loft in Winona, Maryland. Included are many sail plans for work and recreational boats. These papers were retrieved by museum staff from the derelict sail loft with the permission of the owner. Many are damaged or, deteriorated.Biographical BackgroundAlbert E. Brown and Bro/ sail.1oft~:~was located at Wenona, on the southern tip of the island. The Loft was founded in 1870 by Capt. John Stubbs. In 1890 he was bought out by Henry Brown, born in England, and who served as a seaman in the Royal Navy. He learned the art of sailmaking when he came to the United States during the Civil War and joined the United States Navy.Henry constructed the present building. When he retired in 1919 his son Albert took over the sail loft. Albert's son Henry, in turn, started at the loft when he was 12 years old and took over the business in 1956. Henry G. Brown retired about 1980 and the building has stood empty ever since. In 1986 the old sail loft changed hands.In its heyday, the business was one-of the region's leading sailmakers and had a reputation for old-fashioned, quality workmanship. Orders for sails came from all across the country and from overseas.Scope and ContentThis material represents those papers that were salvagable and that remained in the sail loft after the business had closed. They give considerable insight into the operation of one of the country's most well-known sailmakers.The majority of the papers are correspondence written to the sail loft concerning orders for sails, frequently accompanied by a sail plan and an estimate. Of value are a number of sail plans for the oyster dredging fleet, that the loft kept on file for repeat orders, and letters concerning well-known Bay yachts. Many of these boats have long since disappeared.

GILLMER<CR>MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION<CR><CR>Thomas C.Gillmer was born in 1911 at Warren, Ohio. He became interested in ships at an early age, entering the U.S. Naval Academy and graduating in 1935. During the late 1930s he served aboard light cruisers in the Pacific and Mediterranean. During World War II he served as an instructor in naval construction, damage control, and marine engineering at the Naval Academy, eventually becoming chairman of the naval engineering department. In 1952 Gillmer wrote Naval Construction a Ship Stability, a basic text still in use in the naval architecture program at the Academy. He retired from active teaching at the Academy in 1967 and began to devote full time to the design of yachts and ship replicas. His first successful yacht design was the 1946 Blue Moon. Subsequent designs were the Southern Cross and Seawind series. He designed Pride of Baltimore 3,(1976-77), the pungy Lady Maryland (1979), and Pride 2L Baltimore 11. (1988). Most recently Gillmer prepared a study of the USS Constitution for her overhaul by the navy. He is the author of several books and numerous articles.See also Oral History tape No. 93 with transcript and list of books and articles.The manuscript collection consists of six papers:1.

	13	8888.0059.0000.00	documents	Captain Irvin S. Wheatley Ship's Papers<CR><CR>Backgro		Range, Cir 01/01/1885 - 12/31/1894		This collection begins on CSC 15D1 and continues onto 15D2.Captain Irvin S. Wheatley Ship's PapersBackgroundA large number of documents were donated to the museum by Karen Potter a descendent of the Wheatleys through her paternal grandmother's family. The papers consist of bills, receipts, invoices, and business and personal papers, mostly related to the activities of the two-masted trading schooner Edward L. Martin during the last two decades of the 19'h century.What is known about Captain Irvin Steven Ralph Wheatley (January 19, 1860-March 14, 1941) can be gleaned from the papers in this collection, U.S. Census records, and an internet genealogy. Born January 19, 1860, he was from a large family of Galestown, Dorchester County, Maryland, about twelve miles from Seaford, Delaware. He was captain of the schooner Hattie C. Wheatley for some time before becoming captain of the Martin from about 1885 until 1894. He owned shares in the Martin varying from one-third to one-eighth at different times during those years. Subsequently he was captain of the schooner John Q. Ferguson from January 1895 until at least December 1896. Irvin Wheatley had five brothers, two of whom died as children. The survivors were: Luther Elijah (June 1858-December 1931); George Edward (November 1856-July 1927); and Albert Ellis (September 1873-February 1955), and Frederick Seth (August 1858-August 1874). Of these, Luther figures most prominently in this collection. From personal letters (Box 7), it appears that while Irvin Wheatley was busy as captain of various ships, Luther managed a farm Irvin owned near Galestown. Irvin Wheatley apparently retired from the sea about 1897 and also took up farming. In 1930 both Irvin and his wife, Effie L. (October 1, 1866-August 11, 1935), still resided near Galestown.The schooner Edward L. Martin's official No. was 135629. She was built by Stephen (?) W. Kinsey in Sussex County, Delaware in 1882. She was of 84.95 gross, and 80.70 net tonnage. Her dimensions in feet were 87.2 length, 23.6 breadth, and 6.8 depth. About 1942, after running through numerous owners, she was bought by John B. Conway, converted to power, renamed Honey B, and put into the "dude" boat trade. In 1953 she was bought by Hugh B. Emmons and was destroyed the same year by fire near Oxford, Maryland.Scope and ContentThe core of this collection is an extremely comprehensive set of commercial shipping documents covering the period from 1885 to 1894. These include shipping instructions from the consignee of cargo, charter parties (contracts between shippers and vessel owners, shipping articles (agreements between ship owners and crews), and numerous other papers relating to the shipping business. Of special interest in this collection are the papers related to two trips made by the Edward L. Martin to the Bahamas to pick up loads of pineapples. These papers include instructions, charter parties, articles, as well as the many customs forms, clearances, quarantine receipts, and health certificates required at U. S. ports and from Bahamian authorities.

Rowe & Co., Oyster Packers:BackgroundIn 2001 the museum purchased four large, leatherbound books consisting of volumes labeled "Ledger", "Journal", "Cash", and "H. M. Rowe & Co." The latter contained no readable entries. The Journal contained entries from 1 March 1882 through 31 August 1885; Cash had entries from 1 September 1885 through 16 July 1887; and the Ledger covered the period from 1884 through July 1887.Wood's Baltimore City Directory, 1874 (Baltimore: John W. Woods), at p. 492, lists "Rowe, H. M. & Co (H. M. & W. H. Rowe) oyster packers, 68 Boston". Also, H. M. Rowe is listed at "393 e Pratt", and Wm. H. Rowe is listed at "395 e Pratt". Finally, James B. Rowe, bookkeeper, is listed at "393 e Pratt". From this it is evident that the Rowe company was in the oyster packing business as early as 1874. Information contained in the three volumes suggests that the company ended its business in July 1887. Polk's Baltimore City Directory, 1902, has no listing for the company.In 1882 Joseph W. Brooks (1832-1915) built a schooner named H. M Rowe at his yard in Dorchester County, MD. (See Pete Lesher, "The Industrious Shipbuilder: Joseph W. Brooks" (The Weather Gauge, v. 36, No. 1, Spring 2001, pp. 3-11 and 33). A photo at p. 7 shows the Rowe with her homeport as Deals Island. The vessel's first owner was Caleb J. Moore whose connection with the Rowes is not known. As shown below, however, the Rowe company purchased oysters from the vessel over several years.Scope and ContentThe Journal and Cash volumes reflect receipts and disbursements over a five-year period. Many of the disbursements were small amounts to the three Rowes; many others were to named recipients or for such expenses as stamps, labels, etc.The Journal (pp. 1-239) is of interest because it shows on a day-by-day basis all receipts and disbursements from 1 March 1882 through 31 August 1885. Disbursements cover everything from postage stamps, newspaper purchases (New York Herald, Baltimore American), payments to the Rowes and their employees, to payments for oysters delivered by ships. Among many vessels to which payments were made were the sloop Morning Light, and schooners Sea Belle, Sharps Island, Nautilus, Exchange, H. P. Barnes, Maid of Erin, Ann Virginia, Two Brothers, and Lewis Taulane. Of special are payments to the schooner H. M Rowe. These began on 6 October 1882 with the entry (p. 45) showing a payment of $50.00, and the entry "name & colors". Subsequent entries show payments to the vessel throughout the years 1882 until 19 January 1885. Most payments were for relatively large amounts apparently for cargos of oysters: examples are payments of $315.00 on 8 December 1882 (p. 61), $511.56 on 27 December 1882, and $455.05 on 11 January 1883.However, the key portion of the collection is contained in the Ledger. Between pages 70 and 261 the entries show shipments of oysters to numerous buyers in a variety of states and Ontario, Canada. Each entry shows the date of shipment, the quantity shipped (barrels, half-barrels, kegs, tubs), the grade of the shipment(standards, selects), the price of the shipment, and the payment dates and amounts, almost always in cash. The Ledger also shows that each of the Rowes owned one-third of the value of the assets of the company (pp. 4-5), but that H.M. Rowe held the most capital (pp. 30-43). Although the Rowes were all partners in the firm, we do not know what their relationship was to each other.A second important part of the Ledger reflects payments for merchandise to numerous individuals and companies (pp. 301-329).In short, although this company was only one of many oyster packers and shippers in Baltimore during the period covered by these volumes, clearly its business was widespread and apparently lucrative: when the company apparently wound up its business on 16 July 1887, the total capital split among the Rowes was about $21,665, a fair amount for the time.

	21	8888.0101.0000.00	papers	Papers of Constance S. Larrabee				The material in this collection was acquired in a donation from Constance Stuart Larrabee. Constance Stuart was born in England in 1914 and sailed with her parents to South Africa in the same year. She reseived her first camera, a Kodak No. 0 Box Brownie, at the age of ten, and was captivated by the medium. She studied photography in London and Munich. In 1944, she was South Africa's first woman war correspondednt serving in WWII. Her mission in Egypt was to document the acitvities of the South African Sixth Armored Division. Although her assignment was only to last six weeks, she turned it into an extended odyssey that took her to the front lines in Italy and Southern France, to areas just liberated from Axis rule, including Rome and Paris, and to war-torn London, where the menace of the V-2 rockets was ever present. Her photographs, stark, realistic, and compelling, proide a unique insight into World War II and its aftermath. Consatnce came to America in 1949 when she married Colonel Sterling Larrabee and moved to Chestertown on the Eastern Shore in 1950. She became an American citizen in 1953. Much of her Eastern Shore life centered at King's Prevention Kennel, where she bred over 600 Norwich and Norfolk terriers. Constance bred and trained not merely pets, but champions. An acknowledged expert on the breed, she co-edited Norwich Terrier USA 1936-1966 for the Norwich Terrier Club, USA. Ever concerned with her puppies' well-being, she permitted adoption only after she had carefully screened the prospective owners.Though very involved in breeding champion terriers, she also understood the importance of being involved with her community. The Chestertown Garden Club, the Humane Society of Kent County, the Chestertown Arts League, the Kent County Arts Council, and Washington College were some of the beneficiaries of her boundless energy and inspiration. In 1955 two of her photographs were selected by Edward Steichen to be included in The Family of Man exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. She has since exhibited internationally and has work in leading museum collections, including the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the National Museum of African Art.[compliled from several sources in the collection by Lynne Phillips]Scope and ContentThe items in this collection are organized by subject.

	22	8888.0108.0000.00	papers	Documents pertaining to the Knapps Narrows Bridge				Part of this collection is in CSC FF 108.MS 108Knapps Narrows Bridge DocumentsBackground:Tilghman Island is a historic community located in Talbot County on Maryland's eastern shore. It is separated from the mainland by a small body of water known as Knapps Narrows and is accessible via the Knapps Narrows bridge. Built in 1934, the state-owned Knapps Narrows Bridge was the only overhead counterweight bascule span bridge in the state. Ninety five feet long and 20 feet wide, the structure was extremely important to the state of Maryland and Tilghman Island, both for its unique engineering and its historic and aesthetic relationship to the island. Consequently, the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) determined that the bridge was eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and was a significant contributing resource to the Tilghman Island Historic District. The district itself was also determined to be eligible for listing on the NRHP, as it is the best remaining example of the Chesapeake island community that sprung from large plantations during the 18th century.Despite the modern houses and new developments now scattered about it, Tilghman Island is still characterized by its 19th- and early 20th-Century frame houses, and still consists of four distinct villages surrounded by open fields and ever present views of the water. Moreover, the island remains a community of watermen and home to a large number of skipjacks.In addition to its historical distinction, the Knapps Narrows Bridge was still heavily used, opening for boats more often than any other moveable bridge in Maryland, and more often than most bridges on the East Coast. It provided the only land access between the Tilghman Island community and the mainland. Due to vehicular and pedestrian safety issues, the bridge was replaced in 1999. As for the fate of the historic bridge, it was placed along the entrance of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, approximately five miles from Tilghman Island.From http://www.section4f.com/proj_ex_md33.htm, edited by Lynne PhillipsScope and ContentThe collection consists of 2 boxes with 13 folders of documents pertinent to the Knapps Narrows Bridge.
