| 2 | 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.

| 3 | 8888.0066.0000.00 | documents | HAER REPORT ON SKIPJACK KATHRYN:BackgroundTh | Exact 01/01/1994 - | HAER REPORT ON SKIPJACK KATHRYN:BackgroundThe Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum cosponsored a Recording Project in 1994 on the two sail bateau or skipjack Kathryn with support from the State of Maryland and the Council of American Maritime Museums. The vessel was named a National Historical Landmark in 1994 after having been nominated to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Built in 1901, she was, at the time of research, one of the 19 surviving, working skipjacks built before 1912. Her unusual design includes a V-bottom construction with fore and aft planking and a rounded chine whereas a more common skipjack design used cross-planking and a hard chine. Her most recent owner still used her for oyster dredging and racing. The recording 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 functions. In addition a full historical report on the vessel was undertaken by two CBMM employees. The final report, identified as HAER No. MD- 117 was completed in 1994. Scope and ContentThe collection includes the final HAER reports for both the Kathryn and her yawl or push boat.SubjectsCannon, Irving F., owner (1945), part owner (1947)Carman, Kathryn Daugherty, William's daughterDaugherty, GL, first owner, builder (1901)Daugherty, James, builderDaugherty, William E., first owner (1901)Dize, Russell Herman, part owner (1981), owner (1991)Dodson, J.

Blank or otherwise illegible frames were not included in the frame counts.Note: Contact Sheets and Negatives are catalogued according to the folder in which they were housed. Various dates may be indicated on the contact sheets or were written on the old paper negative sleeves in which they were originally housed, but they are recorded here according to the overall folder (i.e. Waterman's Gazette issue) in which they arrived. For example, the October photo folder for Waterman's Gazette (Folder #50 here) contained contact sheets dated 4 September and 9 December 1985 and negatives dated 4 and 9 September as well as 9 December 1985. Obviously, the negatives and contact sheets dated in December 1985 did not appear in the October 1985 issue, but for some reason they were housed in the October folder.

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.

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 | No image URL. | View | |||

| 10 | 8888.0071.0000.00 | documents | Joseph Liener Papers<CR><CR>Background<CR>Joseph Liener | Range, Cir 01/01/1909 - 01/01/2002 | This collection begins on CSC 15C1 and continues on 15C2.Joseph Liener PapersBackgroundJoseph Liener (Sept 1909-Jan 2002) was a long-time, dedicated volunteer at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. He was born in Salem, NJ, and in 1938 married Lillian England, the daughter of a Baptist minister of Alloway, NJ.As a young man Liener worked as an apprentice to several Salem house builders, becoming so proficient as to be entrusted with all their cabinet work. His life-long interest in wooden boats led to his employment before World War II as a civilian at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, where he ultimately became one of only three rated Senior Supervisors at the yard. He supervised the construction of all wooden boats built at the navy yard including mine sweepers, motor launches, yard boats, captain's gigs, and Naval Academy sloops. As part of this work he sought out special woods, selected specific trees to be cut and taken to lumber yards to be sawed to his specifications for the navy's shop work.In 1942 Liener joined the navy as a Petty Officer First Class. He was assigned to the South Pacific where he supervised the repair of damaged landing craft and assault ships. As the war ended he was stationed at Eniwetok where early atomic bombs were being tested. After the war he returned to the small craft shop at the Philadelphia Navy Yard until his retirement on 31 Oct 1969.As a volunteer at the museum Liener was instrumental in the conservation, restoration, and documentation of vessels in the small boat collection. The museum's catalog of that collection, A Heritage in Wood (St. Michaels: CBMM, 1992) is dedicated to Liener. Lines drawings of historic craft prepared by Liener are in the ships plans collection. During this period Liener became a friend of James Michener and gave him information about the bay and the watermen; Michener asked Liener to comment on a draft of Michener's book Chesapeake for which Liener provided written comments (see Box 7, folder 10).Among Liener's many avocations was making fine furniture for the house he built himself, carving decoys for his own use, playing the piano, organ, and violin, designing, building, painting, and sailing his catboat Buxom Lass. He maintained a longtime interest in catboats and was active in the national catboat association and one of the founders of the Chesapeake Bay Catboat Association. Liener's papers and other material was donated to the museum by Lillian Liener prior to her death in 2003.Scope and ContentA large part of this collection consists of correspondence Liener received from many friends and contacts. Much of the correspondence is personal, but many letters are from individuals who ask for information about all kinds of vessels, especially catboats. Among his correspondents was James Michener who asked for Liener's comments on a draft of his book Chesapeake, naval architects Lowndes Johnson and Edward Brownlee, author John Leavens, editor of The Catboat Book (Camden, ME: International Marine Pub. Co., 1973), and Dave Dillon of the Wooden Boat School and co-author of Boats A Manual for Their Documentation (Nashville: American Association for State and Local History and the Museum Small Craft Association, 1993).Sub'ectsAcademy of Natural Sciences Bermuda Maritime Museum Boston's Museum of Transportation Calvert Marine Museum CatboatsChesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Decoy CarversDecoysHistorical Society of Talbot County Morton Smith, naval architect Mystic Seaport Museum Philadelphia Maritime Museum Philadelphia Naval Shipyard Boat Shop Philadelphia Ship Model Society The Apprentice ShopGeneral Correspondence (Filed alphabetically & by date within each name)Acton, Charles L.Adler, Georgia, Historical Society of Talbot County Allen, Roger & MichelleBossett, Robert H., Matawan, Aberdeen Regional School DistrictBrous, N.

The Task Force considered ways to increase safety and minimize weather-related risks for commercial vessels. The Task Force also addressed the repair and maintenance of the fleet, and the availability of insurance coverage for the vessels and their crews. <CR>Initial recommendations were made by the Task Force on April 17, 2000. Those recommendations brought relaxation of Department of Natural Resources regulations on the use of power for dredging; establishment of a loan program to repair and equip skipjacks (administered by the Maryland Historical Trust); and formation of a skipjack restoration center and educational program at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels (funded in part by the Maryland Historical Trust). The Task Force is still considering matters relating to the availability of affordable hull and liability insurance; sustained funding for the Museum restoration program; formal incorporation of the skipjack fleet into the State's tourism industry; and greater access to oysters for the skipjacks. <CR>The Chesapeake Bay Skipjack Fleet has been recognized as a national treasure in danger of extinction. On June 6, 2002, the Fleet was named to the 2002 list of America's Eleven Most Endangered Historic Places by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. <CR>The Task Force has been inactive since September 2003. <CR>Scope and Content<CR>The items in this collection are contained in one manuscript box with 5 file folders and 1 comb-bound book. | No image URL. | View | ||||
