George Wheatley correspondence
Wheatley, George __Author
1890-1898
__ __Bishops Head __ __Hooper Strait __ __MD
Four letters written by George Wheatley to his brother Irvin Wheatley (see MS 59-8888.0059 for Irvin's collection). Communications with his brother regarding friends and family's health--including some deaths—happenings at the LH including coast guard surveying and having the men board at the lighthouse. He expresses frustration with other family not writing him “if you are all dead or alive…†One note sent from Philladelphia in Nov 1898 appears to be telling Irvin he has quit the lighthouse. “I have gave up the Light-house hit or miss so will not want the Hog I have secured a businessâ€<br /><br />George E. Wheatley (1856-1927) was 1st Assistant Keeper from 1881-1894 then Principal Keeper 1894-1898 at Hooper Strait Lighthouse in Bishop’s Head.<br /><br />

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.

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.

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.

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.
