| 5 | 8888.0050.0000.00 | documents | Dr. George Krantz Fisheries Management Collection: | Range, Cir 01/01/1970 - 12/31/1994 | Thisa collection begins on CSC15E2 and continues on 15E3, 15E4 and 15E5. See also photo #1293.Dr. George Krantz Fisheries Management Collection:The collection is scientific data and reports compiled by Dr. George E. Krantz, while working as the director of the Cooperative Oxford Laboratory in Oxford, Maryland. A large component of the collection focuses on the population decline of the American oyster, Crossostrea virginica, due to the presence of two oyster diseases, Perkinsus marinus (Dermo) and Haplosporidium nelsoni (MSX). The collection is mainly comprised of Dr George Krantz's scientific research proposals, research papers, field notes, field surveys, management plans, and laboratory analyses of the American oyster, once the Chesapeake Bay's most abundant resource. The collection also consists of management practices and implementation plans for the Bay's other fisheries, including the striped bass.Biographical BackgroundGeorge E. Krantz received his Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University in 1965, and then became a Bacteriologist for the Cooperative Warmwater Fish Disease Program at Auburn University. A year later he worked as a Research Microbiologist in Oxford, Maryland for the National Marine Fisheries Society (NMFS), and soon became the Research Microbiologist Leader for the NMFS' Shellfish Mortality Program. From 1970 to 1974, he worked in Florida as the Director of Mariculture and Fish Pathology and as an Associate Professor of Biology and Living Resources at the University of Miami. In October 1974, Dr. Krantz returned to Maryland to work as a research Associate Professor for the University of Maryland. From 1982 until 1987, he was the Director of the State of Maryland Cooperative Shellfish Aquaculture and Technology Laboratory in Crisfield, Maryland and Director of Tidal and Inland Fisheries Division of the Tidewater Administration for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. From 1987 until he retired, Dr. Krantz was the Director of the Cooperative Oxford Laboratory for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. As the Director of the Oxford Lab, he planned, directed, and implemented a research program to develop information on the impacts of disease on aquatic resources. Among his many memberships, Dr. Krantz was a member of the American Fisheries Society, World Mariculture Society, Society of Invertebrate Pathology, and the National Shellfish Association. He was also appointed a member of both the Oyster White Paper Committee as well as the Striped Bass White Paper Committee. In which he fought a hard yet successful battle for implementing a total moratorium on the Maryland striped bass fishery as a management practice.Scope and ContentThe collection contains information on the oyster harvest, spat recruitment, disease prevalence, and oyster mortality in the Chesapeake Bay from the 1970s to the early 1990s, with few gaps. The collection can aid the researcher in tracing the decline of the oyster industry due to MSX and Dermo. The collection can also be useful in highlighting the history of Maryland's fisheries Management practices through the striped bass moratorium and other fisheries' management plans.SubjectsAmerican oyster, Crossostrea virginica, Crossostrea gigas, Pacific oyster, Dermo disease, Perkinsus marinus, MSX, Haplosporidium nelsoni, Chesapeake Bay fisheries, fisheries management, striped bass, Aquaculture, George E.

| 6 | 8888.0063.0000.00 | documents | Charles J. Hopkins - Kinkora Collection<CR><CR>Backgro | Charles J. Hopkins - Kinkora Collection<CR><CR>Background<CR>This collection consists mainly of an account journal and documents related to the ram schooner Kinkora of which Charles Hopkins was captain, and the bugeyes Blue Wing and Sarah W. Wingate which he owned.Charles J. Hopkins, according to the 1900 census, was born in March 1878 in the Mt. Vernon District of Somerset County, MD, the son of John S. and Julia A. Hopkins. According to the 1930 census he still lived in the Mount Vernon District and had a wife, Nellie, and two sons, Fred E. (actually Edwin Ford), age 16, and Douglas C[harles], age 8. (See folder 7 for a letter from Ford to his father; and folder 9 for a letter from Nellie in which she mentions Douglas.) Charles Hopkins died on 19 August 1957 at age 79 leaving a small estate which included a 26-foot workboat and 16 acres of oyster grounds in the Wicomico River..Kinkora, Official No. 126732, was built by J. M. C. Moore in 1891 at Sharptown, MD. Her original gross and net tonnages were 215.50 and 204.73 respectively; her dimensions in feet were 125.2 length, 23.8 breadth, and 8.9 depth. In 1891 she was christened Charles T. Strann; her owner was John H. Marshal and her homeport was Seaford, DE. In 1911 the vessel's name was changed to Charles L. Rohde and her tonnages had changed to 215 gross and 186 net. Her homeport had changed to Washington, DC. By 1925 the vessel's owner was Johnson & Winsatt, 13th and Water Streets, SW, Washington, DC, and her homeport remained Washington. In 1928 her name was changed to Kinkora. By 1930 her dimensions had changed slightly to 229 net and gross tonnage, and 126.0 length, 24.1 breadth, and 8.4 depth. Her owner remained the same and, from the account journal it appears that Charles Hopkins was her captain.By 1935 Johnson & Winsatt still owned the vessel, as well as schooners Josephine Winsatt (92864) and Mabel and Ruth (92691). Hopkins still commanded Kinkora, and did so until 1937. In 1943 the vessel was sold to a buyer in the Dominican Republic and renamed Cuidad Trujillo.Bugeye Sarah W. Wingate, official No. 116787, was built by Joseph Brooks in Madison, MD, in 1897. Her gross and net tonnages were 34; her dimensions in feet were 70.8 length, 19.4 breadth, and 5.2 depth. Her homeport throughout her lifetime was Baltimore. Her early owners are not known, but in 1914 she was purchased from James R. Downy of Rock Hall by Edwin H. Ford, 1/2, Charles J. Hopkins, 1/3, and Oscar L. Ford, 1/6 (see Folder 1). By 1925 she was solely owned by Charles J. Hopkins of Princess Anne, MD. Hopkins continued to own her until 11 April 1935, according to his journal, when she was sold to Harry Dill of Centreville, MD. By 1937 she had been converted to a 36-horsepower gas screw vessel and was owned by Purnell Elbourn, Rock Hall, MD. In 1938 her name had been changed to P. Jay Elbourn. Purnell Elbourn continued to own the vessel until 1952 when Thomas B. Elbourn of Rock Hall became the owner. He remained the owner until 1956 when she was abandoned.Bugeye Blue Wing, official No. 3596, was built in Solomons, MD, in 1893 by M. M. Davis. She was of 19 net and gross tonnage. In feet she was of 62.0 length, 18.0 breadth, and 4.6 depth. In 1894 her homeport was Baltimore, but by 1905 it was Crisfield, MD. By 1910 it was again Baltimore. From 1925 through 1935 she was owned by T. Preston Webster of Tappahannock, VA, but still homeported in Baltimore. In 1936 she was owned by the Salisbury Yacht Building Company and her homeport was Crisfield. From1937 until 1944 she was owned by Charles Hopkins of Princess Anne, MD, and her homeport remained Crisfield. In 1944 and 1945 she was owned by L. L. Gibbs of Columbia, NC, and her homeport was Washington, NC. In 1946 she had been sold to Nellie J. Harrington of Baltimore which was also her homeport. In 1948 her owner was Kenneth J. Harrington, Washington, DC, which was her homeport as well. It is reported that by 1954 she had been abandoned in Canoe Neck Creek, off the Potomac River, inMaryland.References and SourceThe basic reference for all three vessels is Merchant Vessels of the United States.
