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.

In 1966 he accepted the Directorship of the Kendall Whaling Museum, Sharon, Massachusetts.

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
