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. Sail Loft Amps (1923 - 1974)Brown Papers, p 2An index of boats is available.Correspondence was filed under boat name where it was known, and by correspondent's last name if-no specific boat was mentioned (except for one" design boats which are filed under class name).Other papers include"account books and miscellaneous business papers which provide an overview of 1"the finances of a traditional sailmaking business.Sub'ectsSailmaking Subject: Albert E.

	5	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.
