Artist statement: My ancestors have lived on the Chesapeake Bay for almost four centuries as farmers, watermen, boat builders, seafood merchants, and captains of many vessels, including the Old Bay Line steamboats. Raised with three brothers on these same waters, in wooden boats built by our father and grandfather, our childhood naturally instilled in us a deep respect for the Bay and our heritage. We worked together as a family preparing and harvesting the bounty of the waters from those wooden boats; self-reliance and an independent nature were fused into our character.<br /><br />This family heritage and tradition still exists today along the Chesapeake Bay, despite facing many new challenges. The health of the Bay and rising sea level are impacting vital elements of this community’s way of life. My hope is that these important cultural traditions continue to thrive, and enhance lives for generations to come. <br /><br />Thelma Jarvis Peterson <br />http://thelmapeterson.com/<br />Machipongo, Virginia

Ernest Tucker (1913 - 1981) Papers (1936 - 1979)The collection is comprised of correspondence, newspaper articles, brochures, etc., concerning Ernest Tucker's career as a boat designer and sailor. Also included are photographs of Tucker-designed boats, power and sailing boatsand Chesapeake Bay boatbuilders. The papers were donated to the Museum by his widow, Jane Foster Tucker.Biographical BackgroundErnest Tucker was born on the family estate, Hilton, in Walbrook, a northwestern section of Baltimore. He contracted polio before the age of 2 and was required to wear braces on both legs.Tucker developed a strong interest in boatbuilding and design from an early age. He built his first boat, a 12'5" sailing skiff when only twelve. He attended Johns Hopkins University, School of Mechanical Engineering, 1933-1938.In 1942:, he was employed by the Owens Yacht Co., Dundalk, as project engineer for 36' LCVP's for the Navy. After the war he designed the Owens 40' auxiliary cutter. In 1946 Tucker started at the Annapolis Yacht Yard as draughtsman (which later was sold to John Trumphy and Sons) and worked on many famous boats such as Makarra and Lenore, a famous Presidential yacht.Tucker purchased his beloved double-ended Nassau-built sloop, Half Pint, in 1945, which he used to sail the Bay until the time of his death. In 1958 he became self-employed. His designs included the Dickerson 35, 36, 40 and 41 for the William Dickerson Yard of Fishing Creek (laterTrappe). Always found on the drawings was his trademark, a flying duck. Tucker also made drawings for John Bailey of Tunis Mills, Marine Contractor.After the death of his mother, Ernest Tucker lived on a houseboat in Galesville, Md., was married in 1960, and in 1962 moved to Oxford. The designer was a good friend of C. Lowndes Johnson, noted Talbot County Comet class designer, and his wife Clara. He was a founding member of the Classic Yacht Club of America, member of the Sailing Club of the Chesapeake, and Tred Avon Yacht Club. Ernest Tucker died in August 1981.Scope and ContentThe material is divided into two parts. The first consists of biographical information and information on boats designed by Ernest Tucker. Included in the latter is the well-known series of Dickerson ketches built by DickersonBoatbuilders of Trappe, Maryland. Other designs include deadrise workboats built by Chesapeake Marine Industries of Trappe, and the famous Owens cutters.Ernest Tucker was also a recorder of many varities of sailing and power crafton the Chesapeake through the medium of the camera. Many of these boats no longer exist. Also of value are photographs of many well-known Bay boatbuilders, particularly from Dorchester County. An index of boats is available. The photographs have been divided up into broad subject categories.SubjectsBoatdesigning Boatbuilding Subject: Mrs Ernest Tucker
HABS/HAER REPORT ON SKIPJACK E. C. COLLIER:BackgroundThe Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum acquired the skipjack or two-sail bateau E. C. Collier in November 1988. The vessel was donated to the museum by her previous owners, Paula L. and John R. Cummings. At that time the E. C. Collier, built at Deale Island, MD, in 1910, was one of 35 surviving skipjacks and one of only 19 working skipjacks to have been built before 1912. As a traditional working sailing vessel unique to the Chesapeake Bay, she was considered appropriate for documentation by the Department of the Interior's Historic American Building Survey/Historic American Engineering Record (HABS/HAER). This process was begun in January 1989 when the vessel was inspected by Richard K. Anderson, Jr., Staff Architect of HABS/HAER and found to be an appropriate subject for HAER Level II documentation. By May 1989 funding for the project had been secured through the Maryland Historical Trust and by July the project was underway by two HAER employees and one CBMM individual from its boat shop.The documentation project included detailed measurements of the vessel and its components resulting in a set of lines drawings consisting of eight pages and numerous photographs of key parts of the vessel and its equipment. In addition, a full historical report on the vessel was undertaken. The final report (identified as HAER No. MD 77) was completed by April 1990. In the fall of that year s copy was deposited in the Library of Congress which houses all the HABS/HAER reports.Scope and ContentThe collection includes the final report and the correspondence leading to the inception of the project. It includes photocopies of some of the vessel's licenses, the initial application for an official number, certificates of documentation, and bill of sale. Also, the collection includes the research material related to determining who built the vessel and what owners she had during her long history as a commercial sailing vessel.Sub'ectsChesapeake Appreciation DaysCollier, Eddie, first ownerCollier, George W., blacksmith, father of Edward Collier, Melvin, blacksmith, Deale Is.

The Chincoteague Customshouse (VA) was in the Cherrystone customs district (ledger, p. 26, section 1). The customshouse existed from as early as 1865 when John Caulk was the collector, until at least 1888 when army engineer D. C. Hudson noted in a report that “at the custom-house on Chincoteague Island I learned that more than one hundred vessels at one time had been known to take refuge in Assateague anchorage . . .†No mention of its existence could be found after that date. The collector of customs by 1865 was John Caulk (1819-1891), born in Delaware and at one time a private assistant to Delaware Senator J. M. Clayton. At some point the customs office was in Caulk’s home. Caulk was still collector in 1870 according to the federal census of that year, but not in 1880 when that year’s census listed his occupation as “teacherâ€. It is likely that Caulk was responsible for the entries in the ledger, but when he left the collector’s job is unknown. At the time the collector’s jobs were political appointments; 1872 was a presidential election year and Caulk may have been replaced.

Herman Hollerith, Jr. (1892-1976) Photo Collection
1890-1970
This is a collection of many photographs, which have not been cataloged individually. Please review the attachments for specific information on the images. <br /><br />Herman Hollerith, Jr. (1892-1976) Photo Collections (1890s--1970s) Biographical Background: Herman Hollerith, Jr. was born in 1892 at 3112 Q St., Georgetown, District of Columbia to Herman Hollerith, Sr. and Lucia Talcott Hollerith. His father invented the punch-card tabulating machine. He sold his company in 1911 to a firm that later became IBM. Other Hollerith children were Nan, Richard, Charles, Virginia and Lucia. The family lived in Georgetown, Garret Park and Montgomery County. In 1908 they bought a summer home in Mathews County, Virginia named Brighton. They spent their summers at Brighton from 1909. The family had a number of boats which were kept at Brighton: a New England dory named LUVINA; a flat bottomed power workboat named BRIGHTON; a 45 foot, gas powered yacht named REGINA, which was later renamed LUVINA and later still renamed MATOAKA, and an 85 foot vacht named LUVINA. The name Luvina was derived from the three daughter's names, Lucia, Virginia and Nan. Herman Hollerith, Jr. attended Worchester Polytechnic College with his borther, Charles, and received an engineering degree in 1917. He worked at the Naval Aircraft Factory in Philadelphia, and then at the Victor Talking Maching Company, where he was chief engineer and production engineer. During this time he lived in Riverton and Moorestown, New Jersey. He quit the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1928 when it was purchased by RCA. From 1932-1936 Hollerith was president of the Virginia Navigation Company and operated a small passenger steamer under contract to a large corporation. From 1936-39 he did not work during the Depression. In 1939 he moved to Baltimore to work for the Glenn L. Martin Company where he was involved in building airplanes during WWII. Hollerith worked until he was 69 years old. He was married twice. He and Sarah Valentine Fox had four children and were divorced in 1936. In 1938 he married Elisabeth C. Guest. In 1954 he bought a house near Oxford, Maryland and retired there in 1961. Hollerith was active in the early days ofnthe Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and was instrumental in the move of the Hooper Strait Lighthouse to the grounds. Hollerith had a love for boats and owned the ERIC, launched in 1925, until his death. This sailboat was an Atkins design based on a Norwegian ketch. ERIC was the prototype of the Westsai1 32. Hollerith died in 1976. For more information about the Hollerith family researchers should consult: HERMAN HOLLERITH: FORGOTTEN GIANT OF INFORMATION PROCESSING, by Geoffrey D. Austrian; NY: 1982, Columbia University Press. Scope and Content: This collection consists of photos taken or collected by Hollerith. The bulk of photos were taken by Hollerith of scenes from 1915-1940. They feature steamboat and sailboat scenes on the lower Chesapeake. Many of the photos were taken on cruises around Mathews County, Va. Some photos (especially M series negatives) were collected by Hollerith and taken by his father and brothers. The photos depict the agriculture life of the lower western shore and often show the introduction of power. Many of these photos have been published. The water was an important focus for life in Brighton. Mrs. Elisabeth Hollerith supplied a quote from Hollerith about life in Brighton: We did everything by boat, used the daily steamer from Norfolk for transportation to and from Washington and for most supplies including ice. Met the steamer at one of the wharves on the East River each day to pick up mail, visiting friends, etc. The roads were so bad we rarely went inland. Went to church and to visit our friends in a motor boat. In addition to the following subject indices, the researcher should note that Hollerith had his own subject indices. These are available to researchers and especially useful in looking for boat names. They are stored with the negatives. Subjects:Airplanes; Caribbean; C & D Canal; Eastern Shore; Hollerith, Herman, Jr.; Log canoes; Mathews county, Va.; Old Point Comfort, Va.; Sailboats, commercial; Seafood Industry; Steamboats, Chesapeake Bay; Washington, DC; workboats, Chesapeake Bay.
