| 6 | 8888.0075.0000.00 | documents | Harold B. Kennerly, Jr. Collection:The bulk of | Range, Cir 01/01/1930 - 12/31/1979 | Harold B. Kennerly, Jr. Collection:The bulk of the Kennerly collection is comprised of correspondence concerning efforts to fight a proposed tariff on imported tuna in the early 1950s. Chiefly, they concern the H. B. Kennerly & Son packing company and House of Representatives Bill 5693, which sought to put a 3 cent per pound tax on imported tuna. Kennerly, as head of the Tuna Canners Association, corresponded heavily with members of Congress in 1951 and 1952 against the bill. Following this he opposed restrictions on imported groundfish fillets, and worked for scientific study of the tuna fish. Additional materials in the collection include newspaper and magazine articles about Bill 5693 and H. B. Kennerly & Son, and documents from both H. B. Kennerly & Son and its predecessor, Roaring Point Oyster Company. The collection also includes two miscellaneous items from local Nanticoke history: an article about a steamboat line, and a daybook from a construction company. Biographical BackgroundMr. Harold B. Kennerly, Jr. (born 1914/1915) was an important figure in Maryland's Eastern Shore seafood industry from the 1930s to the 1970s. He was the third generation of Kennerlys to operate oyster houses on the Chesapeake. His father, Harold, Sr., operated the Roaring Point Oyster Company, a seasonal oyster shucking business out of Nanticoke, Maryland. When the son joined the firm circa 1938 the name changed to Harold B. Kennerly & Son. During World War II they canned tomatoes in the summer and fish products starting in the fall that including herring, whitefish, and oysters. In 1945 they became the first tuna canners on the Eastern Shore, first canning albacore tuna caught in the Atlantic, then importing Pacific tuna from Peru, Japan, and elsewhere as production (and demand) increased. By the early 1950s, the company canned tuna, herring, vegetables, blackberries, strawberries, and froze clam chowder, sea clams, clam strips, oysters, oyster stews, and fish sticks. Around 1951 Harold, Jr. joined several other canners in founding the Tuna Canners Association (members in MA, MD, and ME) to fight passage of House of Representatives Bill 5693, legislation that sought to levy a three-cent tax on every pound of "imported" tuna fish. The tariff would have benefited Southern California packing houses that canned tuna caught by American vessels fishing in waters off the coasts of Central and South America. East Coast packers purchased tuna from the same region, though they earned the "import" designation by using local fishermen and transporting the catch to the United States in foreign-owned vessels. Through an intense lobbying effort between the Tuna Canners Association and various Senators, the bill was defeated when finally put to a vote in the U. S. Senate on June 24, 1952. Even after this victory, the correspondence indicates additional hearings, potential restrictions, and tariff negotiations continuing into the mid 1950s, beyond the dates of this collection. When not lobbying for the canning industry, Harold Kennerly, Jr. traveled the United States marketing oysters. The company shipped across the continental United States and Canada, including Los Angeles, Chicago, and Montreal. They canned under many different brands, including Maryland House and Seacrest, and canned for other companies including Campbell's Soup, A & P, Kroeger, and American Stores. Besides their own seed oyster beds in the Nanticoke River, they at various times bought oysters from Texas, Louisiana, Virginia, Oregon, and Washington State. They also had companies in Virginia and Delaware shucking for them. In 1956 H. B. Kennerly & Son was sold to Coldwater Seafood. Harold, Sr. passed away that year during the negotiation process. Following the sale Harold, Jr. bought an oyster house across Nanticoke Harbor and started Nanticoke Seafood Company, formerly the frozen division of H. B. Kennerly & Son. He finally retired from the oyster business around 1979.

Camper and S. Taylor Harrison for the purpose of packing seafood including oysters and other eastern shore items. In 1908 another brother, Oswald N. Harrison, was placed in charge of the canning industry, which had been added in order to diversify the company holdings. The two parts of the company would merge after the deaths of the two original founders. The company would go on to make strides in the packing and canning industry, and also within the frozen food industry. It closed its doors in 1975. Avalon Island is now home to the Tilghman Island Yacht club.Scope and ContentThis collection includes scattered items from the company's history, including packaging labels and magazine articles.SubjectsAchievement "A" AwardHarrison, George T, president, Tilghman Packing CompanyHarrison, J Camper, co-founder, Tilghman Packing CompanyHarrison, Oswald N, manager, CanningHarrison, S Taylor, co-founder, Tilghman Packing CompanyMarshall, Lee, director of War Food AdministrationWar Food Administration Subject: J C Harrison Subject: S T Harrison Subject: Tilghman Packing Co. | No image URL. | View | ||||

| 9 | 8888.0016.0000.00 | documents | Albert E. Brown and Bro Papers<CR><CR>The collection i | Brown, Albert __Creator | Exact 02/01/1988 - | Albert E. 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.

| 16 | 1988.0043.0001.01 | potomac river dories | Potomac River dory boat | Hayden, Francis Raymond "Peg Leg" __Builder | c. 1931 | Cobb Island, MD | Built by Francis Raymond “Peg Leg” Hayden at Banks O’Dee, Maryland, the 37-foot “Big Dory” was part of a fleet of traditional oyster boats with a long history. When the oystering industry boomed in the years after the Civil War, oystermen working the Potomac and Patuxent rivers tonged from boats of this type. They were bigger than the older “nancy boats,” with a V-shaped bottom instead of a flat bottom, which created more room for oysters and made it more seaworthy, characteristic appreciated by watermen venturing into the more open waters of the mouths of the Potomac and Patuxent rivers to find new oyster bars.<br /><br />Dory boats stood out from the other workboats, typically painted white, because they were traditionally decorated with green, red, and yellow stripes. The Potomac River dory boat was donated in 1988 by the Calvert Marine Museum.<br /><br />This vessle was previously named "African Queen". |  | View | |
