	1	8888.0111.0000.00	manuscript	Thomas Gillmer Manuscript Collection				This collection begins on CSC 16B2 and continues onto CSC 16B3.Background:Thomas Gillmer (1911-2009) was a naval architect whose designs include both historic vessels and cruising sailboats. He is perhaps best known for his work on the Baltimore clippers Pride of Baltimore and Pride of Baltimore II, the former having attracted national attention when she tragically sank off Puerto Rico in 1986 ( the subsequent investigation determined extreme weather rather than poor design or seamanship was at fault). Gillmer's other historical designs include the pungy schooner Lady Maryland and the Swedish pinnace ship Kalmar Nyckel. His cruising sailboats, in both wood and fiberglass, are also respected as elegant and seaworthy vessels. One, an Allied Seawind named Apogee, was the first fiberglass boat to circumnavigate the globe. In addition to his work as an architect, Gillmer wrote several books and articles on subjects ranging from ancient watercraft to the restoration of the USS Constitution, a project in which he was involved. Gillmer was a professor of naval architecture at the US Naval Academy and later served on the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum's Board of Governors and as chairman of the curatorial committee.
