G. Earle Papers:The collection is a vertical file of notes, ship plans, letters, drawings, articles, and photographs assembled by John Earle on varied Chesapeake maritime research topics, and individuals with whom he corresponded. Arranged alphabetically in three large boxes, two are of nautical subjects, and the other, people. Individuals are listed by last name, and vessels by name or type. Chronologically, the collection includes correspondence from the 1910s to the 1980s (not all involving Earle), but including original printed material, the collection dates from 1894 to 1991. Topics that contained no original research by Earle were removed to the library vertical file. Note: All photographs in the collection have been removed to the library photo archive, and are listed under accession number 1176. Photocopies of originals remain in the folders listed below. Biographical Background (from MS 30)Born in Easton, Maryland on March 14, 1901, John Goldsborough Earle expressed a love for and an interest in the vessels of the Chesapeake Bay early in life. It would be this interest that ultimately shaped his professional life, with Earle able to parlay this curiosity into the receipt of a degree in naval architecture and mechanical engineering from Lehigh University upon his graduation in 1926. After working for the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, from 1943-1946 Earle served as the special assistant to the chief engineer at the U.S. Maritime Commission in Washington, D.C. Earle then moved to Moylan, Pennsylvania where he was employed by the New York-based Nordberg Manufacturing Company. During this time Earle pursued the application of the diesel engine to the maritime environment, ultimately serving on the Ships' Machinery Committee of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. Earle retired in 1966 and served as a member of the Board of Governors for the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, and returned to Easton in 1979. A thorough and exhaustive researcher, Earle never ceased in his quest to study and document the indigenous water craft of the Chesapeake Bay. Earle's scholarship put him in contact with many of the twentieth century's foremost maritime historians, including Howard I. Chapelle and Robert H. Burgess, and his work was particularly valuable to Marion V. Brewington in his study of Chesapeake Bay log canoes and bugeyes. Earle also contributed works to Yachting and Chesapeake Bay magazines. Prior to his death on May 21, 1992, Earle was presented with the Historic Preservation Award by the Historic District Commission of Talbot County for his lifelong dedication and devotion to the preservation of the Chesapeake Bay's maritime heritage.

| 22 | 8888.0074.0000.00 | documents | The Tilghman Packing Company/Avalon Island Collect | Exact 01/01/1897 - | The Tilghman Packing Company/Avalon Island Collection:Background:The Tilghman Packing Company was opened in 1897 by two brothers, S. Taylor Harrison and J. Camper Harrison. The construction and operation of the company helped to create Avalon Island, a small parcel of land made entirely from oyster shells. In 1905, the Tilghman Packing Company was officially located on Avalon Island and by 1934 George T. Harrison, the cousin of the abovementioned founders became president of the company for nearly thirty years. The company packed all of Vita Foods fish products for decades and these business proceedings resulted in a strong business relationship between George Harrison and Vita president, Mr. Heller. In 1944, like many other production companies, the Tilghman Packing Company was supporting the war effort through high production of food stuffs. The company was given the "A Award" by the War Food Administration for their continued excellence throughout the war. By 1962, the Tilghman Packing Company was sold by the Harrison family to Richard "Dick" Knapp. In 1968, the packing company was dissolved by Duffy-Mott Inc, becoming the Tilghman Packing Division. The company was officially liquidated by 1975; and by 1976 Duffy-Mott Inc. finally sold Avalon Island which would eventually become Tilghman-On-Chesapeake, a waterfront community and marina.In 2000, Margaret Enloe Vivian wrote her Masters of Arts thesis about the Tilghman Packing Company and the transition of Avalon Island from one of production to one of leisure and recreation. The above information is taken from her thesis, which is catalogued in this collection in its entirety as well as in a condensed article entitled: "Tilghman Packing Company and the Transformation of Landscape on Avalon Island," that was published in the spring 2000 edition of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum's former publication The Weather Gauge.Subjects: African Americans on the Chesapeake Bay Avalon Island Duffy-Mott Inc.

| 23 | 8888.0010.0000.00 | documents | Herman Hollerith, Jr. (1892-1976) Photo Collection | 1890-1970 | Herman Hollerith, Jr. (1892-1976) Photo Collections (1890s--1970s) Biographical Background: Herman Hollerith, Jr. was born in 1892 at 3112 Q St., Georgetown, District of Columbia to Herman Hollerith, Sr. and Lucia Talcott Hollerith. His father invented the punch-card tabulating machine. He sold his company in 1911 to a firm that later became IBM. Other Hollerith children were Nan, Richard, Charles, Virginia and Lucia. The family lived in Georgetown, Garret Park and Montgomery County. In 1908 they bought a summer home in Mathews County, Virginia named Brighton. They spent their summers at Brighton from 1909. The family had a number of boats which were kept at Brighton: a New England dory named LUVINA; a flat bottomed power workboat named BRIGHTON; a 45 foot, gas powered yacht named REGINA, which was later renamed LUVINA and later still renamed MATOAKA, and an 85 foot vacht named LUVINA. The name Luvina was derived from the three daughter's names, Lucia, Virginia and Nan. Herman Hollerith, Jr. attended Worchester Polytechnic College with his borther, Charles, and received an engineering degree in 1917. He worked at the Naval Aircraft Factory in Philadelphia, and then at the Victor Talking Maching Company, where he was chief engineer and production engineer. During this time he lived in Riverton and Moorestown, New Jersey. He quit the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1928 when it was purchased by RCA. From 1932-1936 Hollerith was president of the Virginia Navigation Company and operated a small passenger steamer under contract to a large corporation. From 1936-39 he did not work during the Depression. In 1939 he moved to Baltimore to work for the Glenn L. Martin Company where he was involved in building airplanes during WWII. Hollerith worked until he was 69 years old. He was married twice. He and Sarah Valentine Fox had four children and were divorced in 1936. In 1938 he married Elisabeth C. Guest. In 1954 he bought a house near Oxford, Maryland and retired there in 1961. Hollerith was active in the early days ofnthe Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and was instrumental in the move of the Hooper Strait Lighthouse to the grounds. Hollerith had a love for boats and owned the ERIC, launched in 1925, until his death. This sailboat was an Atkins design based on a Norwegian ketch. ERIC was the prototype of the Westsai1 32. Hollerith died in 1976. For more information about the Hollerith family researchers should consult: HERMAN HOLLERITH: FORGOTTEN GIANT OF INFORMATION PROCESSING, by Geoffrey D. Austrian; NY: 1982, Columbia University Press. Scope and Content: This collection consists of photos taken or collected by Hollerith. The bulk of photos were taken by Hollerith of scenes from 1915-1940. They feature steamboat and sailboat scenes on the lower Chesapeake. Many of the photos were taken on cruises around Mathews County, Va. Some photos (especially M series negatives) were collected by Hollerith and taken by his father and brothers. The photos depict the agriculture life of the lower western shore and often show the introduction of power. Many of these photos have been published. The water was an important focus for life in Brighton. Mrs. Elisabeth Hollerith supplied a quote from Hollerith about life in Brighton: We did everything by boat, used the daily steamer from Norfolk for transportation to and from Washington and for most supplies including ice. Met the steamer at one of the wharves on the East River each day to pick up mail, visiting friends, etc. The roads were so bad we rarely went inland. Went to church and to visit our friends in a motor boat. In addition to the following subject indices, the researcher should note that Hollerith had his own subject indices. These are available to researchers and especially useful in looking for boat names. They are stored with the negatives.

He served aboard the following:USS. CERESUSS MONOCACYUSS SOUTH CAROLINA USS STEAMER MEMPHIS USS GUERRIERE USS DONThe papers would be interesting to researchers in Naval history, or routine Civil War procedure.SubjectsCivil War; Navy; John R. Sherwood. Boats listed by name in subject cards.Introductory NoteFor many reasons, information on the forebears of John Roberts Sherwood and his wife, Isabella Miller Sherwood, our common ancestors, is incomplete. Early in the 1890s the Baltimore fire destroyed all the city records of births and deaths; the Broadway Methodist Church, of which John and Isabella and an assortment of other Sherwoods were members, no longer exists as such, and its records are said to be stuffed away in a Baltimore attic; but the chief causes for gaps in our knowledge are that John Porter Sherwood died before his son, John Roberts Sherwood, was born and that his widow, Rebecca Fox Sherwood, did not, as far as we know, keep in touch with her son's Sherwood relatives.Buried in Greenmount Cemetery in Baltimore is Philip Sherwood (1775-1852), described on the tombstone as "A Defender of the City in 1812" and listed in the first Baltimore Directory as a clerk living on Ann Street in the Fells Point section of the city. He was the first Sherwood recorded as a Baltimore resident. His wife, Sarah Porter, who died in 1848, is also buried there, as are four of their twelve children. Philip Sherwood may have come to Baltimore from Talbot County on the IMaryland Eastern Shore, where many Sherwoods appear in records, but no firm proof, such as baptismal records, has yet turned up. "Sherwood" is not an uncommon name in England, and Sherwoods are listed among the earliest settlers of Connecticutand Virginia as well as Maryland. The oldest son of Philip and Sarah Porter Sherwood was John Porter Sherwood, born August 28, 1810. He married Rebecca Fox, the daughter of Charles James Fox, an innkeeper in Fells Point, on June 24, 1835. John Porter Sherwood is variously described in early records as a sea captain, a ship's carpenter, and a ship builder, but could, of course, have been all three within his lifetime. He died of yellow fever in the West Indies and was buried on October 28, 1842, in St. Thomas, then a Danish colony in the Virgin Islands. According to one source, his widow later married someone named Webb; her date of death and place of burial are not now known.The origins of Isabella Miller Sherwood's family are similarly difficult to trace, beyond her parents.1John Roberts Sherwood(1843-1929)John Roberts Sherwood, the son of John Porter Sherwood and Rebecca Fox Sherwood, was born in Baltimore on July 16, 1843. He was named for Captain John Roberts, a neighbor and family friend. He attended public schools in Baltimore and had a year of specialized training in marine engineering. After serving as an apprentice, he worked for six months as the engineer in a mill. On January 6, 1864, during the Civil Liar, he Joined the Navy as assistant engineer on the Ceres, seeing action when she engaged the Confederate ram Albemarle, and later was wounded while running a Confederate gun battery on the Roanoke River in Pamlico Sound, He also served on the frigate Guerriere under the famous officer, Admiral Davis.One account states that he resigned from the Navy at the end of the Civil War in 1865 and another that he stayed in until 1869. In any case, he next became an engineer for the Baltimore Steam Packet Company, generally known as the Old Bay Line, which operated a fleet of passenger and freight ships on the Chesapeake between Baltimore, Norfolk and Newport News. He worked his way up steadily in the company: he superintended the building of all the new steamers on the line and designed the "Bay Boats" specially for navigating Chesapeake Bay. His design for these was adopted not only by the Old Bay Line but also by its chief rival, the Chesapeake Line. He was appointed superintendent engineer after only five years, then general manager, vice-president, and finally, on May 7, 1907, he was elected President and General Manager. Until then, the president of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, of which the Old Bay Line was a subsidiary, had always also acted as president of the Old Bay Line. John Sherwood was the first person appointed to a separate presidency. Moreover, most of the senior members of the companyhad been Confederate sympathizers, while he, of course, had served in the Navy and fought for the Union. His success in the company was a major tribute to his character and to his ability as a marine engineer. He retired in October, 1918, at the age of seventy-five.John Roberts Sherwood married Isabella$ daughter of Joscph Miller of Howard County, on May 6, 1867. They had seven children: John, Willie, who died in infancy, 'Watson, Edna, Virginia, Lillian, and Anita. At first, the family lived throughout the year in a house on Baltimore Street opposite Patterson Park, but sometime in the late 1880s John Sherwood bought a 130-acre farm about fifteen miles northwest of the city near Pleasant Hill and between Owings Hills and Soldiers'Delight, This became their summer home. About 1905, afterhis older son had married and built a house on Park Heights Avenue in northwest Baltimore near Seven Mile Lane and just inside the city limits, John Roberts Sherwood built one nearby at 7105 Park Heights Avenue. Near the same time, he built a third house in Sarasota, Florida, overlooking Sarasota Bay on Gulfstream Avenue, As President of the Old Bay Lines he was a member of the board of directors of the Seaboard Air Line, and the extension of the railroad from Tampa to Sarasota was largely due to his advice. The Ringling family's choice of Sarasota as a winter home for themselves and the circus was a direct result of this extension which the circus trains could use. Thereafter, he divided his time each year among his three homes. In April, 1929, he fell on the stairs in his house an Park Heights Avenue-and baoke*his.hip. He developed pneumonia and died on April 24th. He was buried in the family plot ins Druid Ridge Cemetery.His first grandchild and namesake gives this description:"He was very kind to me, took me on many trips on the Bay andto his place in Florida. I spent much time on the farm with him,walking, talking, hunting, close to nature, for which I am grateful. . . . He loved Florida, its fishing, walking, climate and general atmosphere. He had a small motor boat which he used for trips all over Sarasota Bay, the inlets and passes.. On the farm he loved to hunt for rabbits and the various kinds of birds, whchwere abundant."He was generally considered a handsome man, and in his later' years he bore a striking resemblance to King George V of England, partly because his beard was cut in the same style. On summer Sundays at the farm he enjoyed watching the assorted grandchildren, gathered for a Sunday visit, playing games on the lawn and would sometimes dispense shiny new quarters to them (this in a day when John D. Rockefeller was dispensing dimest). He also enjoyed drinking mint juleps in the summer, and the younger grandchildren competed with each other to see who could stir the glasses to produce the most frost on the outside, the mark of a good julep. This was, of course, during Prohibition, but whiskey was readily available from a variety of sources and, with a doctor's prescription,could be bought legally from drugstores.The entry on John Roberts Sherwood in Baltimore: Its History and Its Feople (New York: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1912) includes this description:In politics Captain Sherwood is a Republican, but has always refused to accept public office, with the exception of serving at intervals on the jail and harbor boards. He possesses, however, that true public spirit and rapidity of judgment which enable him, in the midst of incessant business activity, to give to the affairs of the community effort and counsel of genuine value. His advice is frequently solicited and not seldom has his penetrating thought added wisdom to public movements. A man of most courteous manners, he is yet firm and unyielding in all that he believes to be right.The author continues by saying thatCaptain Sherwood is the most home-loving of men, his devotion to his family being equaled only by his devotion to business, and so desirous is he to spend in the society of his wife and children all the hours not demanded by duty, that he is a member of not one club, no social organization, albeit he is a man of genial nature, possessing attractions sufficient to lure him from his fireside.

Also included are photographs of Tucker-designed boats, power and sailing boatsand Chesapeake Bay boatbuilders. The papers were donated to the Museum by his widow, Jane Foster Tucker.Biographical BackgroundErnest Tucker was born on the family estate, Hilton, in Walbrook, a northwestern section of Baltimore. He contracted polio before the age of 2 and was required to wear braces on both legs.Tucker developed a strong interest in boatbuilding and design from an early age. He built his first boat, a 12'5" sailing skiff when only twelve. He attended Johns Hopkins University, School of Mechanical Engineering, 1933-1938.In 1942:, he was employed by the Owens Yacht Co., Dundalk, as project engineer for 36' LCVP's for the Navy. After the war he designed the Owens 40' auxiliary cutter. In 1946 Tucker started at the Annapolis Yacht Yard as draughtsman (which later was sold to John Trumphy and Sons) and worked on many famous boats such as Makarra and Lenore, a famous Presidential yacht.Tucker purchased his beloved double-ended Nassau-built sloop, Half Pint, in 1945, which he used to sail the Bay until the time of his death. In 1958 he became self-employed. His designs included the Dickerson 35, 36, 40 and 41 for the William Dickerson Yard of Fishing Creek (laterTrappe). Always found on the drawings was his trademark, a flying duck. Tucker also made drawings for John Bailey of Tunis Mills, Marine Contractor.After the death of his mother, Ernest Tucker lived on a houseboat in Galesville, Md., was married in 1960, and in 1962 moved to Oxford. The designer was a good friend of C. Lowndes Johnson, noted Talbot County Comet class designer, and his wife Clara. He was a founding member of the Classic Yacht Club of America, member of the Sailing Club of the Chesapeake, and Tred Avon Yacht Club. Ernest Tucker died in August 1981.Scope and ContentThe material is divided into two parts. The first consists of biographical information and information on boats designed by Ernest Tucker. Included in the latter is the well-known series of Dickerson ketches built by DickersonBoatbuilders of Trappe, Maryland. Other designs include deadrise workboats built by Chesapeake Marine Industries of Trappe, and the famous Owens cutters.Ernest Tucker was also a recorder of many varities of sailing and power crafton the Chesapeake through the medium of the camera. Many of these boats no longer exist. Also of value are photographs of many well-known Bay boatbuilders, particularly from Dorchester County. An index of boats is available. The photographs have been divided up into broad subject categories.SubjectsBoatdesigning Boatbuilding Subject: Mrs Ernest Tucker | No image URL. | View | |||

Hopkins - Kinkora Collection<CR><CR>Background<CR>This collection consists mainly of an account journal and documents related to the ram schooner Kinkora of which Charles Hopkins was captain, and the bugeyes Blue Wing and Sarah W. Wingate which he owned.Charles J. Hopkins, according to the 1900 census, was born in March 1878 in the Mt. Vernon District of Somerset County, MD, the son of John S. and Julia A. Hopkins. According to the 1930 census he still lived in the Mount Vernon District and had a wife, Nellie, and two sons, Fred E. (actually Edwin Ford), age 16, and Douglas C[harles], age 8. (See folder 7 for a letter from Ford to his father; and folder 9 for a letter from Nellie in which she mentions Douglas.) Charles Hopkins died on 19 August 1957 at age 79 leaving a small estate which included a 26-foot workboat and 16 acres of oyster grounds in the Wicomico River..Kinkora, Official No. 126732, was built by J. M. C. Moore in 1891 at Sharptown, MD. Her original gross and net tonnages were 215.50 and 204.73 respectively; her dimensions in feet were 125.2 length, 23.8 breadth, and 8.9 depth. In 1891 she was christened Charles T. Strann; her owner was John H. Marshal and her homeport was Seaford, DE. In 1911 the vessel's name was changed to Charles L. Rohde and her tonnages had changed to 215 gross and 186 net. Her homeport had changed to Washington, DC. By 1925 the vessel's owner was Johnson & Winsatt, 13th and Water Streets, SW, Washington, DC, and her homeport remained Washington. In 1928 her name was changed to Kinkora. By 1930 her dimensions had changed slightly to 229 net and gross tonnage, and 126.0 length, 24.1 breadth, and 8.4 depth. Her owner remained the same and, from the account journal it appears that Charles Hopkins was her captain.By 1935 Johnson & Winsatt still owned the vessel, as well as schooners Josephine Winsatt (92864) and Mabel and Ruth (92691). Hopkins still commanded Kinkora, and did so until 1937. In 1943 the vessel was sold to a buyer in the Dominican Republic and renamed Cuidad Trujillo.Bugeye Sarah W. Wingate, official No. 116787, was built by Joseph Brooks in Madison, MD, in 1897. Her gross and net tonnages were 34; her dimensions in feet were 70.8 length, 19.4 breadth, and 5.2 depth. Her homeport throughout her lifetime was Baltimore. Her early owners are not known, but in 1914 she was purchased from James R. Downy of Rock Hall by Edwin H. Ford, 1/2, Charles J. Hopkins, 1/3, and Oscar L. Ford, 1/6 (see Folder 1). By 1925 she was solely owned by Charles J. Hopkins of Princess Anne, MD. Hopkins continued to own her until 11 April 1935, according to his journal, when she was sold to Harry Dill of Centreville, MD. By 1937 she had been converted to a 36-horsepower gas screw vessel and was owned by Purnell Elbourn, Rock Hall, MD. In 1938 her name had been changed to P. Jay Elbourn. Purnell Elbourn continued to own the vessel until 1952 when Thomas B. Elbourn of Rock Hall became the owner. He remained the owner until 1956 when she was abandoned.Bugeye Blue Wing, official No. 3596, was built in Solomons, MD, in 1893 by M. M. Davis. She was of 19 net and gross tonnage. In feet she was of 62.0 length, 18.0 breadth, and 4.6 depth. In 1894 her homeport was Baltimore, but by 1905 it was Crisfield, MD. By 1910 it was again Baltimore. From 1925 through 1935 she was owned by T. Preston Webster of Tappahannock, VA, but still homeported in Baltimore. In 1936 she was owned by the Salisbury Yacht Building Company and her homeport was Crisfield. From1937 until 1944 she was owned by Charles Hopkins of Princess Anne, MD, and her homeport remained Crisfield. In 1944 and 1945 she was owned by L. L. Gibbs of Columbia, NC, and her homeport was Washington, NC. In 1946 she had been sold to Nellie J. Harrington of Baltimore which was also her homeport. In 1948 her owner was Kenneth J. Harrington, Washington, DC, which was her homeport as well. It is reported that by 1954 she had been abandoned in Canoe Neck Creek, off the Potomac River, inMaryland.References and SourceThe basic reference for all three vessels is Merchant Vessels of the United States.

| 27 | 8888.0065.0000.00 | documents | JOSEPH ROBINSON COLLECTION<CR>CHESAPEAKE BAY IN THE | Part of this collection is on CSC 16B1 his collection starts on 15D6 and continues to 16C1.JOSEPH ROBINSON COLLECTIONCHESAPEAKE BAY IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONBackgroundIn 1981 Tidewater Publishers of Centreville, MD, published a major work, Chesapeake Bay in the American Revolution. This volume was a project funded by the Maryland Bicentennial Commission, and was directed and edited by Admiral Ernest McNeill Eller, a former Director of Naval History for the U.S. Navy. Although the project was begun at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, it soon became apparent that it was more then the museum could handle, and Washington College at Chestertown, MD, became the headquarters for the project. The book consists of 14 chapters, each prepared by a different historian, covering a wide range of subjects dealing primarily with naval aspects of the revolution. Of particular importance to this collection are chapters 6 and 10. Chapter 6, by Myron J. Smith, Jr. (Dir. Of Libraries, Assoc. Prof. of History, Salem College, WV), and John Earle (naval architect and marine engineer), dealt with the Maryland State Navy; and chapter 10, by Joseph A. Robinson (1909-1998) (Research Fellow & Instructor, English History, U. of PA), discussed the British invasion of the Chesapeake. In the course of preparing these chapters, a large volume of historical material was collected by Robinson and Earle.In 2000 Joseph Robinson's widow, Madeline L. Robinson, donated the bulk of the material in the collection. Additional material from John Earle was donated in 2005.Scope and ContentMaterial in the collection covers the full period of the project, from the initial stages of the establishment of the project, through the research for the subjects of the two chapters mentioned above, to the preparation and publication of the chapters themselves. Both the Robinson and Earle material also includes comments and suggestions for other chapters in the book, especially chapter 3, by Arthur Pierce Middleton (former Dir. Of Research, Colonial Williamsburg), on ships and shipbuilding in the bay and its rivers. The collection contains numerous letters between Robinson, Eller, and Earle concerning the research and editing of the chapters. Earle in particular made many recommendations for additions and improvements in the text of each chapter, most of which were accepted by the editor and included in the final draft.Sub'ectsVessels:Galleys: Annapolis, Baltimore, Chester, Conqueror, Independence, Johnson, Snow.

| 28 | 8888.0084.0000.00 | documents | Hooper Strait Lighthouse Research Notes:Backgr | Plummer, Ellen K & Norman __Author | Exact 01/01/2000 - | Part of this collection is in CSC FF 60 (Engineering drawings) and CSC 16E1 (personnel rosters)Hooper Strait Lighthouse Research Notes:BackgroundIn 2000 the Museum published a history of the Hooper Strait Light Station from its inception in 1827 through its acquisition by the Museum in 1967. The history, Beacons of Hooper Strait (St. Michaels: CBMM 2000), was prepared by Norman H. Plummer based on extensive research at the National Archives, the DorchesterCounty courthouse, and the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Missouri.Scope and ContentThe collection contains Plummer's research notes largely taken at the National Archives from Record Group (RG) 26. RG 26 includes most of the federal government's records pertaining to light vessels, lighthouses, buoys and other fixed navigation aids, and tenders operated by the lighthouse services. These services included the Fifth Auditor of the Treasury and Acting Commissioner of Revenue, 1820-1852 (Stephen Pleasonton); the Light House Board, 1852-1903; the Light House Service, 1903-1910; the Bureau of Lighthouses within the Department of Commerce, 1910-1939; the US Coast Guard, 1939-present. In addition to the handwritten research notes, the collection includes a number of photocopies of letters between the keepers of Hooper Straits Lighthouse (HSLH) and the Superintendent of Lights at Baltimore; between the superintendent and the Light House Board; deeds for the lighthouse site; reports of inspection by the superintendent; logs of the HSLH. | No image URL. | View | ||
| 29 | 8888.0030.0000.00 | documents | John G. Earle Collection 1891-1987 | Range, Exa 01/01/1891 - 12/31/1987 | John G. Earle Collection 1891-1987<br />This collection is predominantly comprised of ships plans, including original designs and drafts made from existing ships by John G. Earle and his brother-in-law C. Lowndes Johnson. The collection also includes works by various naval architects and designers working throughout the early and middle twentieth century. In addition, the collection includes three scrapbooks comprised of newspaper clippings and other references to the architectural history of the Eastern Shore of Maryland.Biographical Background:Born in Easton, Maryland on March 14, 1901, John Goldsborough Earle expressed a love for and an interest in the vessels of the Chesapeake Bay early in life. It would be this interest that ultimately shaped his professional life, with Earle able to parlay this curiosity into the receipt of a degree in naval architecture and mechanical engineering from Lehigh University upon his graduation in 1926. After working for the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, from 1943-1946 Earle served as the special assistant to the chief engineer at the U.S. Maritime Commission in Washington D.C. Earle then moved to Moylan, Pennsylvania were he was employed by the New York based Nordberg Manufacturing Company. During this time Earle pursued the application of the diesel engine to the maritime environment, ultimately serving on the Ships' Machinery Committee of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. Earle retired in 1966 and served as a member of the Board of Governors for the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, and returned to Easton in 1979. A thorough and exhaustive researcher, Earle never ceased in his quest to study and document the indigenous water craft of the Chesapeake Bay. Earle's scholarship put him in contact with many of the twentieth century's foremost maritime historians, including Howard I. Chapelle, and Robert H. Burgess, and his work was particularly valuable to Marion V. Brewington in his study of Chesapeake Bay log canoes and bugeyes. Earle also contributed works to Yachting and Chesapeake Bay magazines. Prior to his death on May 21, 1992, Earle was presented with the Historic Preservation Award by the Historic District Commission of Talbot County for his lifelong dedication and devotion to the preservation of the Chesapeake Bay's maritime heritage.Scope and Content:The collection, spanning close to one hundred years of maritime history, is definable by two large and predominant sections and is primarily composed of 245 ships plans. Specifically, the works of C. Lowndes Johnson and those done by Earle himself highlight the collection and are accented by the accumulated works of navalarchitects in contact with both Johnson and Earle throughout the twentieth century. Both Johnson and Earle engaged in taking lines off existing vessels and in the drafting of original designs, however, the majority of Johnson's works are original in nature and include the plans for the Comet Class sailboat. Whereas the works of Earle are largely composed of tracings and sketches of the Chesapeake's indigenous watercraft, both collections present a balance between the working vessels commonly associated with the Chesapeake(bugeyes, pungys. schooners, etc.) and the lesser known sailing yachts and skiffs which also made the Chesapeake's maritime landscape distinct. The accumulated works by other designers serve to broaden the range of the collection beyond the Chesapeake and include the works of naval architects such as William P. Gardner and Owen P. Merrill who worked in New York City. The collection also contains sailmaker's plans, although mostly unidentified and unlabeled, along with scrapbooks detailing the architectural history of the Eastern Shore and a small number of governmental documents concerning Chesapeake Bay vessels which serve to enhance the ships plans portion of the collection in terms of the overall maritime heritage of the region. | No image URL. | View | |||

| 33 | 8888.0184.0000 | ledgers (account books) | Chincoteague Customshouse ledger | 1865-1888 | Chincoteague Island, VA | The Chincoteague Customshouse (VA) was in the Cherrystone customs district (ledger, p. 26, section 1). The customshouse existed from as early as 1865 when John Caulk was the collector, until at least 1888 when army engineer D. C. Hudson noted in a report that “at the custom-house on Chincoteague Island I learned that more than one hundred vessels at one time had been known to take refuge in Assateague anchorage . . .” No mention of its existence could be found after that date. The collector of customs by 1865 was John Caulk (1819-1891), born in Delaware and at one time a private assistant to Delaware Senator J. M. Clayton. At some point the customs office was in Caulk’s home. Caulk was still collector in 1870 according to the federal census of that year, but not in 1880 when that year’s census listed his occupation as “teacher”. It is likely that Caulk was responsible for the entries in the ledger, but when he left the collector’s job is unknown. At the time the collector’s jobs were political appointments; 1872 was a presidential election year and Caulk may have been replaced. |  | View | ||

| 76 | 0000.1100 | photographs | Herman Hollerith, Jr. (1892-1976) Photo Collection | 1890-1970 | This is a collection of many photographs, which have not been cataloged individually. Please review the attachments for specific information on the images. <br /><br />Herman Hollerith, Jr. (1892-1976) Photo Collections (1890s--1970s) Biographical Background: Herman Hollerith, Jr. was born in 1892 at 3112 Q St., Georgetown, District of Columbia to Herman Hollerith, Sr. and Lucia Talcott Hollerith. His father invented the punch-card tabulating machine. He sold his company in 1911 to a firm that later became IBM. Other Hollerith children were Nan, Richard, Charles, Virginia and Lucia. The family lived in Georgetown, Garret Park and Montgomery County. In 1908 they bought a summer home in Mathews County, Virginia named Brighton. They spent their summers at Brighton from 1909. The family had a number of boats which were kept at Brighton: a New England dory named LUVINA; a flat bottomed power workboat named BRIGHTON; a 45 foot, gas powered yacht named REGINA, which was later renamed LUVINA and later still renamed MATOAKA, and an 85 foot vacht named LUVINA. The name Luvina was derived from the three daughter's names, Lucia, Virginia and Nan. Herman Hollerith, Jr. attended Worchester Polytechnic College with his borther, Charles, and received an engineering degree in 1917. He worked at the Naval Aircraft Factory in Philadelphia, and then at the Victor Talking Maching Company, where he was chief engineer and production engineer. During this time he lived in Riverton and Moorestown, New Jersey. He quit the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1928 when it was purchased by RCA. From 1932-1936 Hollerith was president of the Virginia Navigation Company and operated a small passenger steamer under contract to a large corporation. From 1936-39 he did not work during the Depression. In 1939 he moved to Baltimore to work for the Glenn L. Martin Company where he was involved in building airplanes during WWII. Hollerith worked until he was 69 years old. He was married twice. He and Sarah Valentine Fox had four children and were divorced in 1936. In 1938 he married Elisabeth C. Guest. In 1954 he bought a house near Oxford, Maryland and retired there in 1961. Hollerith was active in the early days ofnthe Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and was instrumental in the move of the Hooper Strait Lighthouse to the grounds. Hollerith had a love for boats and owned the ERIC, launched in 1925, until his death. This sailboat was an Atkins design based on a Norwegian ketch. ERIC was the prototype of the Westsai1 32. Hollerith died in 1976. For more information about the Hollerith family researchers should consult: HERMAN HOLLERITH: FORGOTTEN GIANT OF INFORMATION PROCESSING, by Geoffrey D. Austrian; NY: 1982, Columbia University Press. Scope and Content: This collection consists of photos taken or collected by Hollerith. The bulk of photos were taken by Hollerith of scenes from 1915-1940. They feature steamboat and sailboat scenes on the lower Chesapeake. Many of the photos were taken on cruises around Mathews County, Va. Some photos (especially M series negatives) were collected by Hollerith and taken by his father and brothers. The photos depict the agriculture life of the lower western shore and often show the introduction of power. Many of these photos have been published. The water was an important focus for life in Brighton. Mrs. Elisabeth Hollerith supplied a quote from Hollerith about life in Brighton: We did everything by boat, used the daily steamer from Norfolk for transportation to and from Washington and for most supplies including ice. Met the steamer at one of the wharves on the East River each day to pick up mail, visiting friends, etc. The roads were so bad we rarely went inland. Went to church and to visit our friends in a motor boat. In addition to the following subject indices, the researcher should note that Hollerith had his own subject indices. These are available to researchers and especially useful in looking for boat names. They are stored with the negatives. Subjects:Airplanes; Caribbean; C & D Canal; Eastern Shore; Hollerith, Herman, Jr.; Log canoes; Mathews county, Va.; Old Point Comfort, Va.; Sailboats, commercial; Seafood Industry; Steamboats, Chesapeake Bay; Washington, DC; workboats, Chesapeake Bay.
