	2	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
	3	8888.0045.0000.00	documents	Talbot County Oyster Ground Surveys and Abandonmen		Range, Cir 01/01/1917 - 12/31/1968		Talbot County Oyster Ground Surveys and Abandonments (1881-1905):NOTE: 5/18/2018 Plat of Oyster Lands at Ratcliffe is located in CSA 10A2.The collection is comprised of 76 oyster ground surveys and abandonments for Talbout County, Maryland. All 76 of these land, or deed, records were originally housed in the Land Record books of Talbot County, Maryland. Four of the deeds deal specifically with the abandonment of a specified oyster ground. The remaining 72 are surveys of oyster ground, with a select few being both surveys and abandonments. Although the records cover a 25 year period, most of the records were concentrated in certain years, such as 1882, the 1890s, 1901, and 1903. Nevertheless, the oyster ground surveys offer examples of many different Talbot County families, surveyors, clerks, Justices of Peace, bodies of water, and maps.BackgroundThe collection of oyster surveys and abandonments was salvaged by the donor, Ronald Lesher, from a storage room of the Talbot County Land Records prior to their disposal in 1995. Mr. Lesher donated the collection to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museaum in September 1995.For further information, see vertical files: Seafood Industry and Oyster Harvesting.SubjectsOyster Ground Surveys; Talbot County-Land Records, Talbot County--History, Families, Government Officials; Eastern Shore--Oystering, Geography; Seafood Industry--Chesapeake Bay	No image URL.
