	1	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.
