| 5 | 8888.0096.0000.00 | documents | Lumber Industry Documents:BackgroundThe mate | Lumber Industry Documents:BackgroundThe material in this collection was acquired by purchase from various sources. It consists of two receipts, a time-keeper's book, a book listing lumber sales and shipments, a ledger of 304 pages, and a sheet found in the time-keepers book listing expenses for trips.Scope and ContentThe two receipts are dated 28 September and 30 November 1829 and refer to the receipt on board the sloops Eagle and True Guide of stated quantities of corded oak wood. In both cases the oak wood is for Justes Lowery, apparently of Hall's Landing. The only information about the vessels and Lowery is that contained in the receipts themselves. The location of Hall's Landing is not known.The book listing lumber sales and shipments by K. C. Rice of Craddockville, VA, dates from August 1916 to April 1918, and describes the transactions in detail. Craddockville is located at the head of Craddock Creek, about four miles west northwest of Belle Haven, VA. Most of the lumber, which largely consisted of 35- to 75-foot pilings or "sticks", was shipped by rail, although some was rafted. There are frequent references to Pennsylvania Railroad "car" numbers. Shipments were mostly from such Eastern Shore of Virginia points as Birds Nest Station, Nassawadox Station, Eastville Station, and Machipongo Station. Destinations included Newark and Harrison, NJ, Boston, MA, Buffalo, NY, and Mahanoy City, PA. Some of the "sticks" were sold under contract to the U. S. Government.The time-keeper's book covers the period from April 1910 through October 1910 and November 1912. It lists K. C. and John W. Rice, as well as a number of other employees. It gives the number of days worked per month. Each month is divided into two parts. Although the printed format contains a column for pay "rate per day", no rates are entered, nor is there an entry in the column for total amounts paid. The name K. C. Rice has been entered on the flyleaf at the back of the book.The ledger, which apparently is from the L. J. Houston & Co. of Stockton, MD, covers the period from January 1902 through December 1907. Stockton lies about eleven miles south of Snow Hill, MD, and about three miles north of the Virginia border. The ledger reflects monetary entries for a number of individuals and organizations whose names are shown in an alphabetical index at the front of the volume. In addition, sections of the ledger at pp. 193-209 and 302-304 list weekly rental income for 1909-1910 and1904-1906 respectively.One BoxFolder 1- Two receipts: (1) dated 28 Sept 1829 for eighteen and one half cords of oak wood received on board the sloop True Guide at Hall's Landing by W. | No image URL. | View | ||||

G. __Author | Exact 02/01/1988 - | Part of this collection is on CSC 16B1.Midshipmens' Journals:BackgroundTwo journals kept by midshipmen of the U. S. Navy were bequeathed to the museum by Peter Black (1918-2002), a naval officer during World War II, a former member of the museum's board, yachtsman, artist, and advisor to the cabinets of Presidents Truman and Eisenhower.Pursuant to naval regulations, the two journals were kept by Midshipmen Philander A. J. P. Jones and E. Greenleafe Parrott. Jones became a midshipman on 16 January 1809. In 1814 he served under Commodore Isaac Chauncey at Sacketts Harbor on Lake Ontario. He was promoted to lieutenant on 24 July 1819, even though, in 1818, he had been charged with cutting off the mane and tail of a senior officer's horse and suspended for a year. In 1820, while assigned to the USF Constitution which was in ordinary at Boston Navy Yard where Isaac Hull was the commandant, Hull had him court-martialed for, among other things, lying about the theft of a horsewhip, and he was cashiered from the navy. Enoch Greenleafe Parrott (27 November 1815-10 May 1879) was born in Portsmouth, NH. He entered the navy as a midshipman 10 December 1831. After service off the African and South American coasts, the Mexican station, during the Civil War, at Charleston, and in the Asiatic Squadron, he retired in 1874 as a rear admiral.Scope and ContentPhilander Jones's journal covers the period from April through August 1811 when Jones served aboard the USN Brig Argus. Parrott's journal runs from February through December 1832 while he served on board the USN Schooner Boxer. | No image URL. | View | ||

| 8 | 8888.0072.0000.00 | documents | Lester R. Trott Collection:The bulk of the Tro | Lester R. Trott Collection:The bulk of the Trott collection is divided among two categories: advertisements and correspondence relating to the companies that he advertised for while running an ad business in Annapolis in the late 1940s to early 1950s, and articles and internal correspondence for Chesapeake Appreciation, Inc., the group in charge of Chesapeake Appreciation Days (CAD). Trott worked with the CAD in the late 1970s when employed by the state Department of Economic and Community Development. Additional materials in the collection include miscellaneous papers from his stint as an advertising man for The Skipper magazine, papers collected while active with the Annapolis Power Squadron, and one document from his brief career as a yacht broker. Biographical BackgroundMr. Lester R. Trott, (born 1918) was involved throughout his life in several aspects of maritime business and promotion on the Chesapeake Bay. A lifelong resident of Annapolis, Maryland, he is a life charter member of the Annapolis Power Squadron dating back to the early 1940s. Starting in the late 1940s he started his own advertising firm, Lester R. Trott, Advertising, which handled promotion and advertising for local businesses. His principal account was for Chesapeake Vacation Cruise of Annapolis but also included Weems Navigation, Tidewater Cruises [?] (of Ephrata PA), John Trumpy & Sons, and many others, not necessarily maritime. He is also one of the founders of the magazine The Chesapeake Skipper (later The Skipper), the first yachting magazine on the Chesapeake (first issue July 1947). After closing his business he joined the staff, working as production manager from December 1951 to February 1952 and thereafter in advertising sales with Henry T. Meneely until March 1953. Leaving the magazine he started another business, this time as a yacht broker. At the time there was only one other yacht broker in business in Annapolis - Annapolis Yacht Sales. Among the boats he handled distributionship for was the Little Mariner, a small plywood outboard cruiser made by Mariner Cruiser of Maryland. He closed the brokerage and returned to the magazine in November 1956 as advertising manager, remaining there until July 1961. Thereafter, he worked as a director of special events and the special projects manager in the Maryland Department of Economic and Community Development, Division of Tourist Development.

| 9 | 8888.0052.0000.00 | documents | CAPTAIN LEONARD S. TAWES MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION | CAPTAIN LEONARD S. TAWES - MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION<CR><CR>Biographical Background<CR> Captain Leonard S. Tawes was born in Accomack County, Virginia, on October 2, 1853. He died in Crisfield, Maryland, on December 6, 1932. He went to sea at an early age, worked his way up to master of sailing vessels, and continued actively to captain sailing vessels until 1922 when he retired from the sea to devote himself to oyster farming in the area around Crisfield. In his retirement, using his logs and other records, Tawes composed a series of journals covering his life and recounting his maritime experiences in detail. The journals, edited by Robert H. Burgess, called Coasting Captain, were published as a book by The Mariners Museum in 1967. This volume is an excellent companion to the manuscript collection and permits clarification of many of the entries found in the manuscripts themselves. In 1884 Captain Tawes took command of, and part ownership in the three-masted, 138-foot schooner City of Baltimore. The 356-gross ton schooner was built by Goss, Sawyer & Packard of Bath, Maine, and was launched on February 2, 1884. Tawes captained the City of Baltimore until 1904 when she was sold in Tampa, Florida (Coasting Captain, 146, 445-6). Most of the material in the manuscript collection relates to the period during which Tawes sailed the City of Baltimore.Scope and Content The collection consists of seven bound booklets and ledgers, and one folder containing various documents which were found in the ledgers when they were accessioned. Most of the material is financial and other operating records from the schooner City of Baltimore. Subject: Captain Leonard S Tawes | No image URL. | View | ||||

All 76 of these land, or deed, records were originally housed in the Land Record books of Talbot County, Maryland. Four of the deeds deal specifically with the abandonment of a specified oyster ground. The remaining 72 are surveys of oyster ground, with a select few being both surveys and abandonments. Although the records cover a 25 year period, most of the records were concentrated in certain years, such as 1882, the 1890s, 1901, and 1903. Nevertheless, the oyster ground surveys offer examples of many different Talbot County families, surveyors, clerks, Justices of Peace, bodies of water, and maps.BackgroundThe collection of oyster surveys and abandonments was salvaged by the donor, Ronald Lesher, from a storage room of the Talbot County Land Records prior to their disposal in 1995. Mr. Lesher donated the collection to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museaum in September 1995.For further information, see vertical files: Seafood Industry and Oyster Harvesting.SubjectsOyster Ground Surveys; Talbot County-Land Records, Talbot County--History, Families, Government Officials; Eastern Shore--Oystering, Geography; Seafood Industry--Chesapeake Bay | No image URL. | View | |||

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.

GILLMER<CR>MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION<CR><CR>Thomas C.Gillmer was born in 1911 at Warren, Ohio. He became interested in ships at an early age, entering the U.S. Naval Academy and graduating in 1935. During the late 1930s he served aboard light cruisers in the Pacific and Mediterranean. During World War II he served as an instructor in naval construction, damage control, and marine engineering at the Naval Academy, eventually becoming chairman of the naval engineering department. In 1952 Gillmer wrote Naval Construction a Ship Stability, a basic text still in use in the naval architecture program at the Academy. He retired from active teaching at the Academy in 1967 and began to devote full time to the design of yachts and ship replicas. His first successful yacht design was the 1946 Blue Moon. Subsequent designs were the Southern Cross and Seawind series. He designed Pride of Baltimore 3,(1976-77), the pungy Lady Maryland (1979), and Pride 2L Baltimore 11. (1988). Most recently Gillmer prepared a study of the USS Constitution for her overhaul by the navy. He is the author of several books and numerous articles.See also Oral History tape No. 93 with transcript and list of books and articles.The manuscript collection consists of six papers:1.

| 16 | 8888.0059.0000.00 | documents | Captain Irvin S. Wheatley Ship's Papers<CR><CR>Backgro | Range, Cir 01/01/1885 - 12/31/1894 | This collection begins on CSC 15D1 and continues onto 15D2.Captain Irvin S. Wheatley Ship's PapersBackgroundA large number of documents were donated to the museum by Karen Potter a descendent of the Wheatleys through her paternal grandmother's family. The papers consist of bills, receipts, invoices, and business and personal papers, mostly related to the activities of the two-masted trading schooner Edward L. Martin during the last two decades of the 19'h century.What is known about Captain Irvin Steven Ralph Wheatley (January 19, 1860-March 14, 1941) can be gleaned from the papers in this collection, U.S. Census records, and an internet genealogy. Born January 19, 1860, he was from a large family of Galestown, Dorchester County, Maryland, about twelve miles from Seaford, Delaware. He was captain of the schooner Hattie C. Wheatley for some time before becoming captain of the Martin from about 1885 until 1894. He owned shares in the Martin varying from one-third to one-eighth at different times during those years. Subsequently he was captain of the schooner John Q. Ferguson from January 1895 until at least December 1896. Irvin Wheatley had five brothers, two of whom died as children. The survivors were: Luther Elijah (June 1858-December 1931); George Edward (November 1856-July 1927); and Albert Ellis (September 1873-February 1955), and Frederick Seth (August 1858-August 1874). Of these, Luther figures most prominently in this collection. From personal letters (Box 7), it appears that while Irvin Wheatley was busy as captain of various ships, Luther managed a farm Irvin owned near Galestown. Irvin Wheatley apparently retired from the sea about 1897 and also took up farming. In 1930 both Irvin and his wife, Effie L. (October 1, 1866-August 11, 1935), still resided near Galestown.The schooner Edward L. Martin's official No. was 135629. She was built by Stephen (?) W. Kinsey in Sussex County, Delaware in 1882. She was of 84.95 gross, and 80.70 net tonnage. Her dimensions in feet were 87.2 length, 23.6 breadth, and 6.8 depth. About 1942, after running through numerous owners, she was bought by John B. Conway, converted to power, renamed Honey B, and put into the "dude" boat trade. In 1953 she was bought by Hugh B. Emmons and was destroyed the same year by fire near Oxford, Maryland.Scope and ContentThe core of this collection is an extremely comprehensive set of commercial shipping documents covering the period from 1885 to 1894. These include shipping instructions from the consignee of cargo, charter parties (contracts between shippers and vessel owners, shipping articles (agreements between ship owners and crews), and numerous other papers relating to the shipping business. Of special interest in this collection are the papers related to two trips made by the Edward L. Martin to the Bahamas to pick up loads of pineapples. These papers include instructions, charter parties, articles, as well as the many customs forms, clearances, quarantine receipts, and health certificates required at U. S. ports and from Bahamian authorities.

Jones (1868-1933) of Queen Anne's County. Jones's son, Herbert Pinckey Jones married Mr. Thomas's aunt, Evelyn Thomas.John Jones was a Deputy Commander of the Maryland State Fishery Force, once known as the Oyster Navy. The Fishery Force was charged with enforcing Maryland laws and regulations dealing with harvesting oysters in Maryland's part of the Chesapeake Bay. The Force consisted of a number of schooners, each of which, captained by a deputy commander, was assigned to patrol a specific area of the bay. Jones was the captain of the Fishery Force schooner Frolic [see Photo File 637.003 (1909)] from 1904 to 1908, and from 1920 to 1929 he commanded the Force's powerboat Talbot [see Photo Files 372.008 & 372.009 (no date)]. Frolic, a 62 foot schooner built by Brusstar & Co., of Baltimore in 1884, was assigned to patrol the Second District which included Eastern Bay, and the Miles and Wye Rivers.The principal item in the collection is a logbook kept by Captain Jones while he commanded Frolic between September 1904 and September 1908. This logbook is significant because it is possibly the only one to have survived from the period that the schooners were active in patrolling the bay.Scope and ContentIn addition to the logbook, the collection includes various documents related to Frolic's patrol such as communications from the Fishery Force commander, Thomas C. B. Howard, receipts for fines collected for violations of the oyster laws, and receipts for taxes paid to the Fishery Force for oysters taken out of state. Other items in the collection, related to the Fishery Force, is a photo of a yacht, account book kept by waterman Harry Booker (1897-1977), and invoices for purchases for the schooner Lanclott. | No image URL. | View | |||

| 47 | 8888.0136.0000.00 | records (documents) | Gray and Waller Packing Co Records, 1900-1940s | 1900-1940 | Scope and Content: The collection consists primarily of ledgers related to the companies operation and supples. Payments to oystermen, crabbers, and shuckers are noted by individual name. Some ledgers have widely mixed dates, which appear to be the result of "available space" ( if a particular year ledger was filled or not readily available, another year's ledger, with unused pages, was used). Contracts and agreements are also included on some ledger pages. <br />Additional loose materials include calculations and work sheets, (later transferred to the ledger and usually un-dated), letters from venders, shipping forms, personal letters, advertisements, government letters pertaining to requests for development of oyster grounds, and Corp of Engineers regulations. <br />Biographical/Historical Note: The materials in this collection were purchased at Dixon's Auction, Crumpton, Md. circa 2012. The book " Elliott's Island: the land that time forgot" ( A.M.Foley and Freddie T. Waller, 1999, Dogwood Ridge Books, Elliott, Md) notes that Gray and Waller was one of several shucking houses on the island. The book notes that the business was operated by James Prettyman Gray and his brother-in-law Thomas "Monk" Waller at the Low-er Creek from around 1917 to 1925. Foley and Waller indicate that the company was known primarily as an oyster house although records show wholesale crabmeat shipments to Baltimore. Records contained in these ledgers also show fur trapping, fish and seasonal fruit and vegetable packaging and shipments , although these appear to represent a minor endeavor compared to oysters and crabs. The Elliott's Island book provides a very limited description of this company. In 1925 Prettyman Gray attempted to sell the company to brothers Joseph, Ira, and Carl, but the sale was not completed. The book notes, "Eight years later the shucking house, long since idle, was washed out by the August Storm of 1933. Ira and Joe Gray picked up the pieces from the mouth of McCready Creek, trucked them home to Gate Point, and built I. Gray and Bro., a shucking house which em-ployed a number of local shuckers, including Phyllis Gray, Bertie Gray, Gertie Gray, and Elsie Woodland ( the ledgers include activity and payment to these and other workers). The brothers owned private oysterbeds (sic) off from Gates Point and Joe Gray owned the buyboat Lucky Lindy with which to supply the business" ( El-liott's Island, pp. 114-115).<br />The ledger entries end in the 1940's although the Elliott Bros. crabhouse continued under new ownership. Ches-ter and Jean Martinek ran the operation until it burned in 1962. Although Foley and Waller note the business was idle sometime during the period from 1925 to 1933, the ledgers indicate a variety of continuing operations.<br />4 boxes | No image URL. | View | |||
